Like other sciences and engineering disciplines, software engineering requires a cycle of model building, experimentation, and learning. Experiments are valuable tools for all software engineers who are involved in evaluating and choosing between different methods, techniques, languages and tools. T

β¦ Synopsis
This paper is a brief account of contemporary statistical activity in software engineering measurement, with particular reference to the CEC ESPRIT programme. The report is intended to be of interest to technical and non-technical managerial staff and assumes little prior knowledge of statistics. It is based on work done for the COSMOS project.' Keywork software metrics, statistics, data collection, data analysis, software management ' COSMOS is ESPRIT project 2686 and is funded by the CEC and the Austrian Government's 'Innovations & Technologie-for&.

The application of measurement technology to software engineering and science is relatively new and therefore the benefits of usin9 it are not recognised enough. The development and use of adequate measures of software and its development process are essential, however, to the production of cost-eff
Three basic operations frequently employed in the construction of statistical applications software are: vector orthogonalisation, solution of sets of linear equations and QR factorisation. In this paper the amenability to e cient parallel implementation on a Cray T3D computer of these operations is
