Abstract
Description
Meetings are at the heart of the software development process (SDP) and can be of different types. The
present article first proposes an abstract cognitive model for meetings, which represents how different
types of meetings are affected by cognitive activities at different stages within the SDP. Second, and
based on the analysis of meetings at different stages of SDP, it proposes the removal of such meetings
from some of the stages within the program by using a cognitive evaluation model for meetings and
their replacement, instead, with information and communication technology tools and techniques
by means of a cognitive evaluation model. The abstract cognitive model and the evaluation model
are validated empirically through experimentation, carried out through a detailed analysis of a target
group composed of information technology professionals. C � 2011Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
