This book contains a thorough study of wire electric discharge machining considering low carbon alloy steel as a work-piece and brass wire as an electrode. Significant control factors were found out by one factor at a time approach (OFAT). Response surface Methodology (RSM) was used for the planning of experiments and the optimization of the significant control factors. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used for the percentage contribution of significant control factors. Mathematical Models were made for various response variables (metal removal rate, surface roughness and dimensional...

It has always been argued that the two practices (distribution + agile) are actually incompatible. Introduction of agile methodologies in distributed field raises new challenges for development infrastructures to support collaboration and knowledge sharing in software development. Agile in a distributed setting does not mean step-by-step implementation of a particular agile methodology. It means collaboration among distributed teams to collate processes that follow agile principles and put together a methodology that works for them. This paper finds out different parameters for applicability...
