Toward software metrics for distributed software
Woei-Jiunn Tsaur, Shi‐Jinn Horng · 2002
With increasingly complicated distributed software we must do our best to establish a maintenance mechanism. The paper presents generalized software complexity metrics for measuring the computational complexity of distributed programs, and introduces the notion of communication complexity unit based on the smallest process communication group. We affirm that the smallest process communication group is a unifying mechanism for event and process abstraction whatever distributed programming languages are used and advocate it as a basically generalized communication complexity unit.
