Research> Lines of Investigation > Software Measurement 

We have defined and validated different metrics for: database models(relational, active, object-relational), datawarehouses (at conceptual and logical levels), 4GL, E/R conceptual models, different UML models, software process models and web systems.

We have defined an ontology for software measurement.

Some publications in this topic are:
