I’m writing up my proposal for the work I’m planning to do on the Next Release Problem (NRP, see my previous post) for my thesis. but here is a rough problem statement:

For SW release planners to make use of the NRP, they need a process for mapping many raw measurements, taken from a SW project, onto the nicely abstracted space designated by the NRP.

If all goes well, I’ll have the proposal ready to present by Fall quarter.
