Planning and re-planning of software product releases

软件产品发布的规划和重新规划为发布分配功能，以满足最重要的技术、资源、风险、预算和利益相关者约束和目标。发布计划是一个计算和认知上复杂的问题：这个问题很难解决，但更难制定。现有的规划方法的五个扩展被认为是：（i）规划灵活的发布日期，（ii）跨产品规划（系统和产品线发布计划），（iii）以资源为中心的发布计划，（iv）产品发布的重新计划，（五）非线性发布规划和重新设计进化问题解决结合了专业优化技术的优势，基于问题的形式化描述，并有人类专家的指导参与，这一基本原则适用于所有研究方向。这项研究是一个更大的努力，以解决计算和认知困难的软件工程决策问题提供支持的一部分。

Planning and re-planning for software product releases assigns features to releases such that most important technical, resource, risk, budget and stakeholder constraints and objectives are met. Release planning is a computationally and cognitively complex problem: The problem is hard to solve, but even harder to be formulated.Five extensions of existing planning methods are considered:(i) Planning with flexible release dates,(ii) Planning across products (system and product line release planning),(iii) Resource-centric planning of releases,(iv) Re-planning of product releases, and(v) Non-linear release planning and re-planning.Evolutionary problem solving combining the strengths of specialized optimization techniques based on formalized description of the problem with the guided involvement of human experts is the fundamental principle applied to all directions of research. The research is part of a larger effort to provide support for solving computationally and cognitively difficult software engineering decision problems.
