Book Description
The expense of maintaining software is greater than any other phase in the life cycle. To help reduce the costs, software which may not be maintainable should be identified before being released for use. Measures of software quality, or metrics, may be able to help do this. The goal of this thesis was to identify measures which could indicate the maintainability of JOVIAL (J73) software, and to implement selected ones. Maintainability cannot be measured directly, so a strong indicator, complexity, was measured instead. Five categories of complexity metrics were reviewed: size, control, data, information, and hybrid. Through an analysis of metrics from each category, the information metric was selected for implementation. Using Ada as the implementation language, an analyzer to compute the information metric was constructed. The design was primarily object-oriented but was influenced by compiler theory. The resulting analyzer can easily incorporate new metrics or new input/output requirements. Testing was performed using both simple code examples and actual F-16 flight software. The analyzer properly computes the information metric with few exceptions. A plan to compare the results of the analyzer with the results of the sponsor's present manual review was described. (kr).

Book Description
Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Oata Analysis and Synthesis (CINOAS) * at Purdue. University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an interna tional publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 33 (thesis year 1988) a total of 13,273 theses titles from 23 Canadian and 1 85 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 33 reports theses submitted in 1988, on occasion, certain univer sities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.
