Agile Tool Market Growing with the Philosophy

The market for application life-cycle management (ALM) tools for agile development is booming. However, tool vendors and analysts are far too busy jockeying for position to spend too long appreciating the irony of the matter. The first principle of the agile manifesto, after all, is "individuals and interactions over processes and tools. The paper discusses that the burgeoning agile ALM tool landscape reflects the software market's need to scale agile from small application and teams to cross-enterprise architectures and back.

Capability study of robotics and manufacturing cell simulation software

In this paper, a capability analysis was developed for comparing Virtual Reality Software (VRS) of robotics and manufacturing cells simulation. The capability analysis included all basic features that should be maintained in a software for simulation of a large scale agile manufacturing system. An algorithm has been developed for this analysis which requires subdividing the attributes into business attribute, cost attributes and other attributes related to automotive industry.
