1. I have seen applications where M V VM is completely implemented on the client’s side meaning for example,
   
   • View is the UI with Xaml and code behind, Model which stores the data, ViewModel implements INotificationPropertyChanged event and is a bridge between View and the Model and talks to a WCF service for example this is what ‘John Papa’ has to say… http://johnpapa.net/5-Minute-Overview-of-MVVM-in-Silverlight
   • View is the UI with Xaml and code behind, Model which stores the data and talks to a WCF service, and ViewModel implements INotificationPropertyChanged event and is a bridge between View and the Model for example this is what Song Li has to say… http://www.codeproject.com/KB/WPF/MVVMQuickTutorial.aspx
     
2. In my work environment we have developed Silverlight applications where we followed MVVM Pattern more like how ‘Maria Veronica Evert Riveros’ has explained here http://mariaevert.dk/thesis/?p=577 but View and the ViewModel both resided in the same project rather than them being in different projects and the Model was the WCF Web Service where ViewModel communicates with the Model via a proxy.

I will try sharing more ways to play with MVVM as I stumble upon

Prototype Model

A prototype model focuses on developing the software little by little and tested in a real time environment with the customers in mind (“SDLC prototype model”, n.d).

Advantages of prototype model are it has its time frame of development with more focus on development of actual software rather than spending more time on documentation resulting in releasing the software in advance, reduced man hours, the software is created with more user feedbacks (“SDLC prototype model”, n.d).

Disadvantages of prototype model since the software is built with no stages most of the beginning stages of the software are not complete, prototype changes from time to time resulting in complexity in making documentation on the software and integration might be hard with this model (“SDLC prototype model”, n.d).

V-Shaped Model

A V-Shaped Model is similar to Waterfall Model with regards to sequential path of execution of processes one can move a step ahead only when previous step is completed and testing is more highlighted in this model (Lewallen, 2005).

Advantages of V-Shaped model are it is easy and simple to use and each step delivers a specific result as tests are planed earlier than in waterfall model there are more chances for success, and when small projects are considered this model will work well for them (Lewallen, 2005).

Disadvantages of V-Shaped model are it is very inflexible and thus may lead to more expense and during the testing phases this model has no clear picture (Lewallen, 2005).

W-Shaped Model

W-Shaped Model removes the disadvantage from Waterfall Model and V-Shaped Model where the testing is followed after the implementation, the association between the various stages and their result for further testing undertakings is not explained. Based on the V-Shaped Model the W-Shaped Model improves the meaning of testing specific tasks (Leithold, 2005).

Advantages of W-Shaped model are the testing process is parallel to the development process; testers and developers are given specific tasks as the project moves forward resulting them being equally involved, and in the testing phase the developers fix the bugs (Leithold, 2005).

Disadvantages of W-Shaped model the time and personnel are impracticable and in practice there is much more relationship between different activities (Leithold, 2005).

Incremental Model

When the life cycle of waterfall model is applied iteratively, it results in Incremental Model and each of these iterations goes through requirements, design, implementation and testing (Lewallen, 2005).

Advantages of Incremental Model are the working software is produced faster and is more flexible resulting in lower costs for changes in requirements, it is easy to debug since the iterations are smaller and are easy to manage (Lewallen, 2005).

Disadvantages of Incremental Model are there is no account of intersecting of iterations as they are inflexible, the overall system architecture requirements aren’t gathered in the beginning of the software development which may lead to problem in the software life cycle (Lewallen, 2005).

COCOMO Estimating Model

COCOMO stands for constructive cost model, it’s a software cost estimation model which uses regression formula with parameters based on historic data (“Software project management”, n.d.).

Advantages of COCOMO estimating model are it is based on facts and easy to understand how it works, explains many reasons that affect cost of the project and since it works on historical data it is more predictable and accurate (“Software project management”, n.d.).

Disadvantages of COCOMO estimating model are it ignores requirements, documentation, hardware issues, personnel turnover levels, customer skills, cooperation, knowledge and other parameters. It oversimplifies the impact of safety/security aspects and is dependent on the amount of time spent in each phase (“Software project management”, n.d.).
