Full textAbstract:
Experimental and operational data are valuable assets for the field of nuclear science and technology. It is very important to develop software tools to assist scientists to manage the data effectively and to conveniently access and share the data. This paper presents 5 case studies on software development pertaining to topical areas such as nuclear fuel performance, waste management, biological research, reactor physics, and chemistry analysis at Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL). Each case study illustrates the design and development of the database and user interface for its target research area and end users. While datasets based on flat files are still used in reactor physics studies, full-scale relational databases are developed for most of the other studies. The user interfaces developed for these areas include web applications, desktop applications, and mobile applications. These software tools have become essential parts of the research activities at CNL.

Full textAbstract:
This paper presents a novel quality model, which provides a quantitative assessment of the attributes evaluated at each stage of development of scientific applications. This model is defined by selecting a set of attributes and metrics that affect the quality of applications. It is based on the established quality standards. The practical application and verification of the quality model is confirmed by two case studies. The first is an application for solving one-dimensional and two-dimensional Schrödinger equations, using the discrete variables representation method. The second is an application for calculating an ECG-derived heart rate and respiratory rate. The first application follows a development model for scientific applications, which includes some software engineering practices. The second application does not use a specific development model, rather, it is developed ad hoc. The quality of the applications is evaluated through comparative analyses using the proposed model. Based on software quality metrics, the results of this study indicate that the application for solving one-dimensional and two-dimensional Schrödinger equations produces more desirable results.

Full textAbstract:
Non-functional requirements determine the acceptance of the software application amongst its stakeholders apart from the desired functionality yet they are mostly neglected by the software development organizations. Efforts are made to enhance the success rate of the mobile app product; however, there is a lack of empirical studies available for analyzing the contribution of nonfunctional requirements towards the product success. In order to suggest mechanisms for improving product success rates, it is important to undertake the empirical study through surveys and case studies in industrial settings to analyze the software development practices focused on non-functional requirements. The analysis of data collected through empirical methods suggests that non-functional requirements are handled in the rough adhoc fashion and the number of implemented non-functional requirements is less with respect to number of implemented functional requirements. The contribution of non-functional requirements to overall development cost and time is lesser due to lesser number of requirements that undergo implementation but will grow to higher extend as their number will increase. The impact of non-functional requirements on product success rates, failure rates, overall cost and development time varies with type of development, size of organization and complexity of the undertaken mobile app projects.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to gain insights about the applicability of Lean principles in software industry along with the Lean implementation issues. Design/methodology/approach Exploratory case studies have been carried out in five software companies. Data were collected by observation and semi-structured interviews with project managers. In this paper, case organizations are categorized as product vs project software development (SD) organization. Findings It is found that although Lean principles are being adopted in SD projects, application of all Lean principles is not visible. This research reveals that value and flow are more relevant in SD organizations, while value stream, pull and perfection are not conspicuous. Originality/value This paper would prove invaluable to lean practitioners and researchers to gain knowledge in lean SD. The paper puts forward the key issues that should be addressed for successful adoption of lean in SD. This study set out to determine the practitioners’ perception of the applicability of lean principles in SD projects. It provides a sound basis for further empirical research on adoption of lean principles in SD organizations.

AbstractCase-Based Reasoning (CBR) is a relatively recent problem solving technique that is attracting increasing attention. However, the number of people with first-hand theoretical or practical experience of CBR is still small. The main objective of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the subject to people new to CBR. The paper outlines the development of CBR in the US in the 1980s. It describes the fundamental techniques of CBR and contrasts its approach to that of model-based reasoning systems.1A critical review of currently available CBR software tools is followed by descriptions of CBR applications both from academic research and, in more detail, three CBR systems that are presently being used commercially. Each of the three commercial case studies highlights features that made CBR particularly suitable for the application. Moreover, the last case study describes a development methodology for implementing CBR systems. The paper concludes with a research agenda for CBR. A detailed categorized bibliography of CBR research is provided in a companion paper (Marir & Watson, 1994).

Full textAbstract:
Architecture-based techniques for reliability assessment of software applications have received increased attention in the past few years due to the advent of component-based software development paradigm. Most of the prior research efforts in architecture-based analysis use the composite solution approach to solve the architecture-based models in order to estimate application reliability. Though the composite solution approach produces an accurate estimate of application reliability, it suffers from several drawbacks. The most notable drawback of the composite solution approach is that it does not allow an analysis of the sensitivity of the application reliability to the reliabilities of the components comprising the application and the application structure. The hierarchical solution approach on the other hand, has the potential of overcoming the drawbacks of the composite approach. However, in the present form, the hierarchical solution approach produces an estimate of application reliability which is only an approximation of the estimate produced by the composite approach since it does not take into consideration the second-order architectural statistics. Also, although the hierarchical solution approach can be used for sensitivity analysis, mathematical techniques to perform such analysis are lacking. Development of an accurate hierarchical solution approach to estimate application reliability based on its architecture is the focus of this paper. Using the approach described in this paper, an analytical application reliability function which incorporates second-order architectural statistics can be obtained. Sensitivity analysis techniques and expressions to determine the mean time to failure of the application are developed based on this analytical reliability function. We illustrate the reliability prediction, sensitivity analysis, and mean time to failure computation techniques presented in this paper using two case studies.

[abstFig src='/00290001/02.jpg' width='300' text='Open source software for robot audition HARK' ] Robot audition is a research field that focuses on developing technologies so that robots can hear sound through their own ears (microphones). By compiling robot audition studies performed over more than 10 years, open source software for research purposes called HARK (Honda Research Institute Japan Audition for Robots with Kyoto University) was released to the public in 2008. HARK is updated every year, and free tutorials are often held for its promotion. In this paper, the major functions of HARK – such as sound source localization, sound source separation, and automatic speech recognition – are explained. In order to promote HARK, HARK-Embedded for embedding purposes and HARK-SaaS used as Software as a Service (SaaS) have been actively studied and developed in recent years; these technologies are also described in the paper. In addition, applications of HARK are introduced as case studies.

Purpose – This paper aims to solve the stated limitations through (i) exploring usages of scenarios and (ii) proposing a lightweight iterative requirement exploration process that utilizes scenarios to transform the vague ideas of the developers into concrete application’s vision. The explosive growth in pervasiveness, programmability and computational capability of smartphones and tablets unlocks the possibility for many uses of technology, including end-user development (EUD) where end-users create applications as pragmatic tools for their work and hobbies. An extensive amount of research effort has been done to solve EUD challenges; however, the focus of such research lies mainly on designing and implementing software applications. Design/methodology/approach – Based on review on existing application of usage scenario in software application development, we proposed SRE – a scenario-based requirement exploration method and MobiPSE – a lightweight software process that applies SRE. Two EUD projects performed by undergraduate students were used as case studies to test and fine-tune methods. Findings – This paper proposes MobiPSE – a lightweight iterative software process that resolves around our proposed SRE method. Through case studies on MobiPSE, we confirmed that MobiPSE works in real-life scenarios and emphasized two points: ad hoc training has limited effect and lack of technical expertise can still leave a negative impact on requirement exploration process. Research limitations/implications – Because of the limited number of case studies performed for testing and tuning purpose, the proposed methods may not be able to satisfy all cases of EUD. MobiPSE can be fine-tuned further with additional case studies of different scale and team structure. Originality/value – This paper fulfils the need for a lightweight method for exploring requirements and ideas in a EUD project based on creating and analyzing possible usage scenarios.

Full textAbstract:
Usability is a software system quality attribute. Although software engineers originally considered usability to be related exclusively to the user interface, it was later found to affect the core functionality of software applications. As of then, proposals for addressing usability at different stages of the software development cycle were researched. The objective of this paper is to present three reusable solutions at detailed design and programming level in order to effectively implement the Abort Operation, Progress Feedback and Preferences usability functionalities in web applications. To do this, an inductive research method was applied. We developed three web applications including the above usability functionalities as case studies. We looked for commonalities across the implementations in order to induce a general solution. The elements common to all three developed applications include: application scenarios, functionalities, responsibilities, classes, methods, attributes and code snippets. The findings were specified as an implementation-oriented design pattern and as programming patterns in three languages. Additional case studies were conducted in order to validate the proposed solution. The independent developers used the patterns to implement different applications for each case study. As a result, we found that solutions specified as patterns can be reused to develop web applications.

Full textAbstract:
Differences in sets of criteria for evaluating microcomputer software are discussed. They are set against the results of three studies in which UK teachers evaluated five programs which were used in reading or English lessons. A comparison of the checklist criteria with the case study data was made using Stake's matrix of evaluation concerns [1]. This suggested a heavy emphasis on antecedents in the checklists and on transactions in the case studies. In general, neither checklists nor case studies devoted great attention to empirically measured outcomes. A possible interpretation of the results is that while the checklists focused on intrinsic evaluation, the case studies themselves focused on practical classroom issues, notably attention and motivation.

The study of complex logistic systems often requires specialized software that allows studying the characteristics and properties of the observed object using simulation methods. An example of such a system is the supply network, in the general case of an arbitrary structure. For linear supply chains known business game “Beer Game”, which allows to observe and explore the effects that occur in long supply chains. The aim of the work was to develop a model that is a generalization of the original “Beer Game” in the case of a supply network of arbitrary topology and the development of software that allows investigating the resulting model using simulation methods. In this paper the mathematical model of the supply chain is presented. A set of algorithms for estimating and forming the order volume by each network participant is proposed. The developed application that emulates the work of the supply chain is described. Various ways of creating a supply network topology have been proposed, and a description of the parameters for modeling the supply network has been given. The capabilities of the application are demonstrated when generating data and interpreting the obtained results in the form of tables, graphs, and animation. The ways of forming supply chains with different characteristics are studied. Experiments on the study of algorithms for estimating the volume of orders on various topologies of supply chains were carried out. Ways to assess the performance of the supply chain were proposed. The developed software can be used to justify the choice of strategy for managing supply chains in distribution logistics for industrial and commercial enterprises of various sizes, from large networks to retail. In addition, the developed software can be used in the educational process for students of economic specialties.

This paper presents case studies of attacks aimed at tactical software defined radios based on a classification with the most common sources of vulnerabilities, classes of attacks, and types of intrusions that military radio sets may suffer. Besides that, we also describe how attack mitigation strategies can impact the development of SDR infrastructures. By using such approach, we identify several possible sources of vulnerabilities, attacks, intrusions, and mitigation strategies, illustrating them onto typical tactical radio network deployment scenarios, as an initial and necessary step for the definition of realistic and relevant security requirements for military software defined radio applications.

Many previous studies have shown that open-source technologies help democratize information and foster collaborations to enable addressing global physical and societal challenges. The outbreak of the novel coronavirus has imposed unprecedented challenges to human society. It affects every aspect of livelihood, including health, environment, transportation, and economy. Open-source technologies provide a new ray of hope to collaboratively tackle the pandemic. The role of open source is not limited to sharing a source code. Rather open-source projects can be adopted as a software development approach to encourage collaboration among researchers. Open collaboration creates a positive impact in society and helps combat the pandemic effectively. Open-source technology integrated with geospatial information allows decision-makers to make strategic and informed decisions. It also assists them in determining the type of intervention needed based on geospatial information. The novelty of this paper is to standardize the open-source workflow for spatiotemporal research. The highlights of the open-source workflow include sharing data, analytical tools, spatiotemporal applications, and results and formalizing open-source software development. The workflow includes (i) developing open-source spatiotemporal applications, (ii) opening and sharing the spatiotemporal resources, and (iii) replicating the research in a plug and play fashion. Open data, open analytical tools and source code, and publicly accessible results form the foundation for this workflow. This paper also presents a case study with the open-source spatiotemporal application development for air quality analysis in California, USA. In addition to the application development, we shared the spatiotemporal data, source code, and research findings through the GitHub repository.

Full textAbstract:
Assessing occupational exposure in retrospective community-based case-control studies is difficult as measured exposure data are very seldom available. The expert assessment method is considered the most accurate way to attribute exposure but it is a time consuming and expensive process and may be seen as subjective, nonreproducible, and nontransparent. In this paper, we describe these problems and outline our solutions as operationalized in a web-based software application (OccIDEAS). The novel aspects of OccIDEAS are combining all steps in the assessment into one software package; enmeshing the process of assessment into the development of questionnaires; selecting the exposure(s) of interest; specifying rules for exposure assignment; allowing manual or automatic assessments; ensuring that circumstances in which exposure is possible for an individual are highlighted for review; providing reports to ensure consistency of assessment. Development of this application has the potential to make high-quality occupational assessment more efficient and accessible for epidemiological studies.

Full textAbstract:
Although the Semantic Web data standards are established, ontology-based applications built on the standards are relatively limited. This is partly due to high learning curve and efforts demanded in building ontology-based Semantic Web applications. In this paper, we describe an ontology application management (OAM) framework that aims to simplify creation and adoption of ontology-based application that is based on the Semantic Web technology. OAM introduces an intermediate layer between user application and programming and development environment in order to support ontology-based data publishing and access, abstraction and interoperability. The framework focuses on providing reusable and configurable data and application templates, which allow the users to create the applications without programming skill required. Three forms of templates are introduced: database to ontology mapping configuration, recommendation rule and application templates. We describe two case studies that adopted the framework: activity recognition in smart home domain and thalassemia clinical support system, and how the framework was used in simplifying development in both projects. In addition, we provide some performance evaluation results to show that, by limiting expressiveness of the rule language, a specialized form of recommendation processor can be developed for more efficient performance. Some advantages and limitations of the application framework in ontology-based applications are also discussed.

The article discusses methods for developing a user interface in web applications. The interface plays a vital role in software. From a visual point of view, its design and accuracy are of paramount importance to display the exact amount of information for the intended user. Every minor decision you make when designing a user interface can have a positive or negative impact on your software. Thus, the purpose of this study was to compare user interface design methods and propose appropriate options for choosing design approaches based on case studies and research results. The study examines various design methods - user-centered design, activity-centered design, data-driven design. To better understand the similarities and differences between these three methods in a business environment, this document discusses each method in terms of its foundations, processes, and results. Based on the above description of the main characteristics of design approaches, they are presented more systematically. Taking into account the main characteristics of design approaches and what really determines them, 10 different criteria for assessing the quality of design were identified, which are important distinguishing features. A framework is provided for evaluating and comparing them to help the reader evaluate which one best suits a particular context. The structure of the processes of their application in the development of a new software product or service is presented. In practice, this analysis can be used: - as a reference list of application options for design approaches and methods, in particular for the development of software products and services. - To decide which approach and design method will be most effective in a particular context - provide links for further analysis of related aspects - human-computer interaction, user interaction, software development life cycle, software development teams design.

In order to implement the provisions of the INSPIRE Directive, it is necessary for the Member States of the European Union to take appropriate measures to enable combining in a uniform manner spatial data deriving from different sources and sharing use of them by many users and many applications. Spatial data regarding underground hard coal mining in Poland should also be available in the national spatial reference system. Mining enterprises run a cartographic resource in the different rectangular flat coordinate systems. The standard transformation procedure does not provide the required accuracy because these are areas affected by mining activity, and the stability of points is limited, hence, studies were undertaken. The result is the development of software that can be used in Geographic Information Systems to transform spatial data from a system used in mine to the national system. The article described shortly a chosen coordinates systems used in Polish underground mines, elaborated procedure for selection of the degree and the type of a transformation polynomial in the transformation task. It presents its practical application of procedure for the area of one of hard coal mines using the author’s software elaborated in the results of above-mentioned research.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This paper presents a formal development approach for designing interactive applications using a correct-by-construction approach. In this work, we propose a refinement strategy using model-view-controller (MVC) to structure and design Event-B formal models of the interactive application. The proposed MVC-based refinement strategy facilitates the development of an abstract model and a series of refined models by introducing the possible modes, controller’s behaviour and visual components of the interactive application while preserving the required interaction-related safety properties. To demonstrate the effectiveness, scalability, reliability and feasibility of our approach, we use a small example (from automotive domain) and real-life industrial case studies (from aviation). The entire development is realized in Event-B and the associated Rodin tool is used to analyse and verify the correctness of the formalized model. Finally, the developed Event-B models are used to generate source code using EB2ALL tool for going from the specification to the implementation of the interactive application.

Full textAbstract:
In this study, Python Surface Energy Balance System (PySEBS) software was developed in the Python 2.7 programming language for continuous calculation of actual evapotranspiration (ETa) at regional scales. The software is based on the Surface Energy Balance System (SEBS) model, which uses basic meteorological data, MODIS remote sensing data, and Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data as the original input data and finally outputs daily-scale ETa in the form of raster data with a spatial resolution of 1 km × 1 km. To verify the reliability of the PySEBS model, the ETa of spring maize during the growing season in Jilin Province, China, from 2001 to 2020 was calculated and analyzed in this study and compared with the results of similar studies by others. The findings showed that the PySEBS model has a reasonable accuracy in estimating ETa within ±15% and is a robust model that can achieve the continuous calculation of ETa at a regional scale. Therefore, PySEBS software is a useful tool for regional irrigation scheduling and water resources management.

However, the current problem or situation of crowdsourcing mediators or courses that misleads crowdsourcing projects and their functionality and the corresponding contexts they need are no longer addressed in the course of studies. We deal with or address those issues in a way that addresses a well-known case with an average person called TestCloud which has helped us to get to the top of the platform providing software experiments or software engineering. the stadium or donations of teams that progress slowly or completely without their efforts or sending sports and programs to a good crowd. Criticism shows that the testing of the said service Cloud meets the 3 most required conditions if you want to improve or enhance its use and, these are: process management, team management and collaboration with technology. In every size, we explain or highlight many of the methods or processes that this app uses to get through the difficult situations or problems related to the collection activities that need to be done properly at the same time. The term 'crowdsourcing' was changed to be added or introduced in 2006 to describe a problem-solving model distributed by remote internet users. Since then it has been extensively studied and practiced to assist software program engineering and objective software applications. In this course we provide a comprehensive or specific survey of the use and importance of crowdsourcing on the software engineering program and software program you are trying, we aim to cover all the books and topics that may be relevant to this topic. We first assess and attempt to find definitions and application functions, crowdsourcing performance and to define and define our Crowdsourcing Software Engineering ideas together in terms of their value or application. Then we summarize or integrate the many required features within the commercial fitness regions in software system engineering and related case research. Similarly we explore software programming engineering or experimenting with domains, obligations and programs, functions, crowdsourced operations and systems and stakeholders involved in knowing Crowdsourced Software Engineering solutions. We are concluding or would like to really focus on the process of developing styles, open-ended problems and opportunities for conclusion lessons in Crowdsourced Software Engineering or Software Testing. We may also want to show or demonstrate that statistics released from the crowd are primarily based entirely on experiments that can adhere to multiple regions or activities associated with an automated web site or experimental cell. We would really like to integrate the creation of POLARIS, which produces repetitive views of texts from the crowd — primarily based entirely on experiments, rendering the events 'motif' of a different application: a series of high-level automated easy-to-use integrated low-stage action actions. Our strong focus is on the mobilization staff deployed from Mechanical Turk to fulfill 1,350 test commitments in nine popular Google Play apps, each with at least 1 million customer subscriptions.

Summary Recently, there has been increasing research to discover genomic biomarkers, haplotypes, and potentially other variables that together contribute to the development of diseases. Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most common form of genomic variations and they can represent an individual’s genetic variability in greatest detail. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of SNPs, high-dimensional case-control studies, are among the most promising approaches for identifying disease causing variants. METU-SNP software is a Java based integrated desktop application specifically designed for the prioritization of SNP biomarkers and the discovery of genes and pathways related to diseases via analysis of the GWAS case-control data. Outputs of METU-SNP can easily be utilized for the downstream biomarkers research to allow the prediction and the diagnosis of diseases and other personalized medical approaches. Here, we introduce and describe the system functionality and architecture of the METU-SNP. We believe that the METU-SNP will help researchers with the reliable identification of SNPs that are involved in the etiology of complex diseases, ultimately supporting the development of personalized medicine approaches and targeted drug discoveries

A software game is an application that is not only applicable for entertainment purposes but also used in domains like business, education and health care. Software game development is a multidisciplinary process that involves art, sound, artificial intelligence (AI), control systems and human factors which makes it different from traditional software development practice. Distributed software development (DSD) facilitates decentralized zones for the availability of multidisciplinary human resources at less cost. Past studies explored many influencing factors for game development, however, how these factors majorly affect the game development in Distributed Software Development (DSD) environment yet not been studied as per our knowledge. In this research, we not only identified the most influencing factors for game development in DSD but also gauge a relationship matrix between these factors with games’ technical requirements. In our evaluation, we took twenty-nine top-rated animated games to establish a mapping of these factors present in these games. To calculate the variation in a given project budget, we execute Monte-Carlo simulations between the independent variable (influencing factors) and dependent variable (overall cost) that forecast the valuation of each variable impact on the overall nominal cost of the project. Empirical results of our research conclude that among all identified factors, ‘Physical Resources’ and ‘Freelancers’ have a significant impact on the overall project cost. Our research findings quantitatively assist the software project managers to estimate the cost deviations due to influencing factors in Distributed Software Development (DSD) environment.

Full textAbstract:
Active learning tools are critical in imparting real world experiences to the students within a classroom environment. This is important because graduates are expected to develop software that meets rigorous quality standards in functional and application domains with little to no training. However, there is a well-recognized need for the availability of effective active tools. This need has been addressed by the authors by designing, developing, and delivering, twenty delivery hours of Case Studies, sixteen delivery hours of Class Exercises, and six delivery hours of Video Case Studies for use in V&V courses. The active learning tools focus on some specific SV&V topics such as requirements engineering, software reviews, configuration management, and software testing. Four key skill areas sought after by employers, namely communication skills, applied knowledge of methods, applied knowledge of tools, and research exposure have been used to drive the development funded by a National Science Foundation grant and perfected through an industry-academia partnership. These tools have been successfully disseminated to over 25 universities with many CS, IS, SE programs incorporating the tools in their existing courses and others designing new courses based on these tools.In this paper we present data on the student feedback and pedagogical effectiveness of the strategies used to effectively incorporate and deliver the developed active learning tools by instructors at two universities. Traditional and flipped classroom delivery strategies are discussed as well as topics like pre-requisite knowledge preparation prior to class, course module presentation sequence, homework, team/individual work, collaborative discussions, and assessment tools are deliberated. The student questionnaire data from the two University Partners who used the V&V instructional activities were quite positive and showed that students were interested in the activities, saw the real-world applications, and communicated with their classmates as they solved the problems. Educational outcomes assessment demonstrated more effective learning in all key learning areas.

Full textAbstract:
This article presents the application of a new educational thermodynamic software called MOLECULARDISORDER, based on graphical user interfaces created in Matlab® to promote critical thinking in youth engineering students, by means of the energy and entropy balance application in different systems. Statistics of the results obtained by the youth students are shown to determine the influence of the software in a regular course in thermodynamics to promote critical thinking. Two case studies were done by the students, where parameters such as temperature of the fluid and metal surfaces, pressure of the system, mass of the fluid and solid, volume, and velocity of the fluid are used to obtain output variables such as enthalpy, entropy, changes in entropy, entropy production, and energy transfer in the chosen system. Four cognitive skills were considered to evaluate the cognitive competencies of interpreting, arguing and proposing, and interacting with the different graphical user interfaces; these cognitive skills (CS) were argumentative claim (CS1), modeling (CS2), interpreting data/information (CS3), and organization (CS4). Student´s T-test was used to compare the degree of difficulty of each criterion. The case studies were evaluated first without using the software and then with the use of the software to determine the significant effect of the software quantitatively. A population of 130 youth students was taken to perform the statistical analysis with a level of significance of 5%. With the help of the software, the students obtained an improvement when performing case study 1 since the p-value obtained was 0.03, indicating that there are significant differences between the results before and after taking the software. The overall averages of the grades for case study 1 had an increase after using the software from 3.74 to 4.04. The overall averages for case study 2 were also higher after taking the software from 3.44 to 3.75.

Full textAbstract:
Software preservation has not had detailed consideration as a research topic or in practical application. In this paper, we present a conceptual framework to capture and organise the main notions of software preservation, which are required for a coherent and comprehensive approach. This framework has three main aspects. Firstly a discussion of what it means to preserve software via a performance model which considers how a software artefact can be rebuilt from preserved components and can then be seen to be representative of the original software product. Secondly the development of a model of software artefacts, describing the basic components of all software, loosely based on the FRBR model for representing digital artefacts and their history within a library context. Finally, the definition and categorisation of the properties of software artefacts which are required to ensure that the software product has been adequately preserved. These are broken down into a number of categories and related to the concepts defined in the OAIS standard. We also discuss our experience of recording these preservation properties for a number of BADC software products, which arose from a series of case studies conducted to evaluate the software preservation framework, and also briefly describe the SPEQS toolkit, a tool to capture software preservation properties within a software development.

: Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) are intellectual privileges that allow authors and inventors to defend their original inventions from misuse or theft. With the assistance of algorithms, clinical science has taken on a different level in recent years. Various advanced tools can be used to investigate pharmacokinetics profiling, in silico experiments, receptor simulations, drug synergistic effects, and so on. Computational scientists are making continuous efforts to figure out how to connect business models in pharmacology. However, software theft and security rights remain major concerns for all. In order to avoid such violations, IPR compliance for R&D as well as promoting machine applications is critical. This compilation will illustrate diverse software concepts, the latest patent data structures, copyright management laws for software, trade secrets, compliance rights, software patenting and contracts, artificial technology priorities and problems, licenses, and case studies relating to IPR violations in pharmaceutical and other fields.

Software testing is undertaken to ensure that the software meets the expected requirements. The intention is to find bugs, errors, or defects in the developed software so that they can be fixed before deployment. Testing of the software is needed even after it is deployed. Regression testing is an inevitable part of software development, and must be accomplished in the maintenance phase of software development to ensure software reliability. The existing literature presents a large amount of relevant knowledge about the types of techniques and approaches used in regression test case selection and prioritization (TCS&P), comparisons of techniques used in TCS&P, and the data used. Numerous secondary studies (surveys or reviews) have been conducted in the area of TCS&P. This study aimed to provide a comprehensive examination of the analysis of the enhancements in TCS&P using a thorough systematic literature review (SLR) of the existing secondary studies. This SLR provides: (1) a collection of all the valuable secondary studies (and their qualitative analysis); (2) a thorough analysis of the publications and the trends of the secondary studies; (3) a classification of the various approaches used in the secondary studies; (4) insight into the specializations and range of years covered in the secondary texts; (5) a comprehensive list of statistical tests and tools used in the area; (6) insight into the quality of the secondary studies based on the seven selected Research Paper Quality parameters; (7) the common problems and challenges encountered by researchers; (8) common gaps and limitations of the studies; and (9) the probable prospects for research in the field of TCS&P.

Finding techniques to reduce software developmental effort and produce highly reliable software is an extremely vital goal for software developers. One method that has proven quite useful is the application of software metrics-based classification models. Classification models can be constructed to identify faulty components in a software system with high accuracy. Significant research has been dedicated towards developing methods for improving the quality of software metrics-based classification models. It has been shown in several studies that the accuracy of these models improves when irrelevant attributes are identified and eliminated from the training data set. This study presents a rough set theory approach, based on classical set theory, for identifying and eliminating irrelevant attributes from a training data set. Rough set theory is used to find small groups of attributes, determined by the relationships that exist between the objects in a data set, with comparable discernibility as larger sets of attributes. This allows for the development of simpler classification models that are easy for analyst to understand and explain to others. We built case-based reasoning models in order to evaluate their classification performance on the smaller subsets of attributes selected using rough set theory. The empirical studies demonstrated that by applying a rough set approach to find small subsets of attributes we can build case-based reasoning models with an accuracy comparable to, and in some cases better than, a case-based reasoning model built with a complete set of attributes.

Maintenance of software projects is an important phase in software engineering. However, there are many challenges associated during this maintenance phase, including technical and managerial. In order to reduce the cost of maintaining software project, many such projects are being outsourced to low cost development countries like India, Philippines, Russia or China. This paper talks about decision parameters for outsourcing maintenance projects. However, outsourced maintenance projects have their own issues and challenges such as poor domain knowledge, lack of understanding of application & technological knowledge and managerial issues such as lack of motivation, attrition. To find solution to these issues, the research conducted study in CMM level 5 organizations and based on case studies, developed an approach for addressing these issues and challenges successfully. The best practices so identified (such as training the trainer, process oriented systematic approach, developing a test strategy and involving end users during execution) can be adopted in other organizations as well. It was observed that the best practices improved productivity while reducing defects in the deliverables.

A highly important part of software engineering education is requirements collection and analysis, one of the initial stages of the Software Development Lifecycle. No other conceptual work is as difficult to rectify at a later stage or as damaging to the overall system if performed incorrectly. As software engineering is a field with a reputation for producing graduate engineers who are ill-prepared for real-life software engineering contexts, this paper suggests that traditional educational techniques (e.g. role-play, live-through case studies and paper-based case studies) are insufficient in themselves. In an attempt to address this problem we have developed a games-based learning application to teach requirements collection and analysis at the tertiary education level. One of the main problems with games-based learning is that there is a distinct lack of empirical evidence supporting the approach. This paper will describe the evaluation of the requirements collection and analysis process using a newly developed framework for the evaluation of games-based learning and will focus on evaluation from a pedagogical perspective.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose Changing customer demands, needs and desires; emerging technologies; and increasing competition among firms force software development teams to develop and then implement new software projects to satisfy their customers and become more competitive in their marketplace. In this respect, knowledge sharing is critical for project success. However, although knowledge sharing among team members has been investigated by many researchers, knowledge sharing barriers among people have rarely been addressed in project teams in general and software development teams in particular. Thus, the purpose of this study is to investigate knowledge sharing barriers in the software development team context and develop solutions that can overcome these barriers. Design/methodology/approach An exploratory multiple case design was used to explore why software team members in Turkey may be reluctant to share knowledge. In this study, the authors conducted 18 in-depth and on-site semi-structured interviews and then employed content analysis, which uses a set of procedures to make valid inferences from text, to discover knowledge sharing barriers. Findings By interviewing 18 Turkish project team managers, the authors identified knowledge-, individual- and organization-related knowledge sharing barriers among team members. They also demonstrated solutions for the knowledge sharing hesitation among team members based on the experiences of project team managers. Research limitations/implications Some methodological limitations exist in this study. Specifically, the generalizability of the sampling limits the study, which was conducted in a specific national context, Turkish firms in general and the Istanbul district in particular. It is important to note that readers should be cautious when generalizing the results to different cultural contexts. In this regard, a Turkish sample involving the Istanbul district, like that of any culturally bound research, imposes some constraints on the interpretation and application of the results. The study was conducted with in-depth interviews of only 18 managers working in seven companies. Also, this study was performed on system development teams. The results should be confirmed with more samples and different project sets. Practical implications In this study, the authors discover the reasons for knowledge sharing reluctance among team members and some solutions that will eliminate knowledge sharing problems by using case studies. The results show that the reluctance of team members arises from obstacles, which are knowledge-, individual- and organization-related. Also, the conclusions demonstrate that knowledge sharing barriers can be resolved by establishing project leadership, creating a knowledge sharing culture and considering team members’ emotions. Originality/value The present study investigated whether reluctance to share knowledge derives not only from individual barriers but also from organization- and knowledge-related barriers in a project team context. The authors discovered that knowledge sharing barriers can be resolved by establishing project leadership, creating a knowledge sharing culture and considering team members’ emotions.

Purpose – For decades multiple management philosophies directed toward lean production and mass were assumed as to respond to process inefficiencies and rampant consumerism, optimizing operation costs. However, new customization and flexible productions philosophies have been gaining ground in some industries, such as the agile manufacturing. From a literature review that addresses the history of this philosophy, it is clear that agile manufacturing is not fully comprehended, with very scarce information about practical cases. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – In this paper the authors describe an exploratory methodology approach, with three semi-structured case study interviews. The goal is to study which of agile manufacturing practices are being applied in the studied companies and what is the perceived effect that these have on operational performance. Since most of these companies develop highly customized products, the role of agility on new product development can have a huge impact on their operational performance. Findings – Agile manufacturing is not yet a widespread philosophy of managing for the companies studied, being virtually unknown as a global concept. However, it was found that many of the practices of agile manufacturing are already implemented in these companies without association with this philosophy. It was also concluded, by the finding through respondents opinions, that agile practices contribute positively to the studied companies operating performance. Originality/value – The novelty of this research derives from observation of agile manufacturing practices in SMEs. This research is useful to SMEs implementing agile manufacturing principles.

With the widespread use of mobile applications in daily life, it has become crucial for enterprise software companies to quickly develop these applications for multiple platforms. Cross-platform mobile application development is one of the most adopted solutions for rapid development. Since most of these solutions do not generate native code for the underlying platform, the artefacts generally do not satisfy the requirements defined at the beginning of the project. This study designed and implemented a native code generation framework called Nativator built as a cloud service. The framework, which is capable of producing native code for iOS and Android platforms using web-based user interfaces, was implemented based on an open source compiler platform called “Roslyn”. Four case studies were performed to analyze the execution performance of the applications built with the proposed framework. The experimental results demonstrated that the execution performance of the applications built with Nativator is comparable with the applications generated via the state-of-the-art mobile application development framework called Xamarin. Because this framework was implemented as a cloud service, it has several advantages over traditional approaches such as access from anywhere, no installation and flexible and more resources from cloud infrastructure.

This paper focuses on the design of high performance VR applications. These applications usually involve various I/O devices and complex simulations. A parallel architecture or grid infrastructure is required to provide the necessary I/O and processing capabilities. Developing such applications faces several difficulties, two important ones being software engineering and performance issues. We argue that application modularity is a key concept to help the developer handle the complexity of these applications. We discuss how various approaches borrowed from other existing works can be combined to significantly improve the modularity of VR applications. This led to the development of the FlowVR middleware that associates a data-flow model with a hierarchical component model. Different case studies are presented to discuss the benefits of the approach proposed.

Abstract Background Referring patients to specialty care is an inefficient and error-prone process. Gaps in the referral process lead to delays in patients’ access to care, negative patient experience, worse health outcomes, and increased operational costs. While implementation of standards-based electronic referral options can alleviate some of these inefficiencies, many referrals to tertiary and quaternary care centers continue to be sent via fax. Objective We describe the design process and architecture for a software application that has been developed and deployed to optimize the referrals intake process by automating the processing and digitization of incoming specialty referral faxes, extracting key data elements and integrating them into the electronic health record (EHR), and organizing referrals. Methods A human-centered design approach was used to identify and describe the inefficiencies in the external referral process at our large, urban tertiary care center. Referrals Automation, an application to convert referral faxes to digital referrals in the EHR, was conceptualized based on key stakeholder interviews and time and motion studies. This application was designed using Substitutable Medical Applications and Reusable Technologies (SMART) and Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resource (FHIR) platforms to allow for adaptability into other healthcare organizations. Results Referrals Automation software was developed as a healthcare information technology solution to streamline the fax to referral process. The application was implemented into several specialty clinics. Metrics were built-in to the applications to evaluate and guide the further iteration of these features. Conclusions Referrals Automation will enhance the referrals process by further streamlining and organizing the patient referral process.

Model-Based/Driven Development (MDD) constitutes an approach to software design and development that potentially contributes to: concepts closer to domain and reduction of semantic gaps, automation and less sensitivity to technological changes, and the capture of expert knowledge and reuse. The widespread adoption of pervasive technologies as basis for new systems and applications lead to the need of effectively design pervasive information systems that properly fulfil the goals they were designed for. This paper presents a profiling and framing structure approach for the development of Pervasive Information Systems (PIS). This profiling and framing structure allows the organization of the functionality that can be assigned to computational devices in a system and of the corresponding development structures and models, being. The proposed approach enables a structural approach to PIS development. The paper also presents two case studies that allowed demonstrating the applicability of the approach.

Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) is a technique used to enhance the separation of concern in software design and implementation. To implement AOP developers most commonly use AspectJ, an extension of the Java language. In order to represent the separation of concerns a new design technique is needed for modeling of aspects. Aspect Oriented Design language (ASDL) is a design notation could build on the existing design language UML. It is capable of supporting many aspects-oriented languages. This research aims to investigate where developers can use aspect-oriented programming in the software development process. This includes how to identify Aspects in the design stage, then how they can be applied in the implementation process in software development. This will lead to improve modularity and reusability of the software. The paper will be a position paper abut Aspect Oriented Software Design, also will investigate several case studies of the design and implementation of a software application that shows how we can identify the Aspect in the process.

Full textAbstract:
The challenge of managing the relationship between a firm's business and IT in order to derive business value from IT is an important topic on researchers’ and practitioners’ agendas. The focus of most related research and management actions has been on the top management or project management levels. However, conflicts frequently arise within the line organization when applications are extended, enhanced, maintained, or otherwise changed operationally outside software development projects. This study focuses on the impact of relationships at the application-change level and strives to identify and explain favorable social structures for effective business/IT dialog at the operational level. We collected data in seven comprehensive case studies, including 88 interviews and corresponding surveys, and applied social network analysis to show that three social structures at the implementation level influence the degree to which IT applications are maintained and enhanced in line with business requirements: (1) interface actors connecting business and IT, (2) the relationships between interface actors and the corresponding unit, and (3) the relationships between interface actors and other employees in their unit. In three cases, less favorable structures are revealed that correspond to low application change effectiveness and software applications that do not meet business requirements. The other cases benefit from favorable social structures and thus enhance fulfillment of business requirements and result in higher IT business value. This paper contributes to IS research by helping to explain why companies may not provide favorable IT services despite favorable relationships at the top management level and successful application development projects.

Large software conglomerates like Trimble and Autodesk provide consumers with suites of software that perform many functions within the design and construction process. Communicating with software outside of the suite can be highly problematic as file types and communication protocols are proprietary and closed within that software family - the antithesis of interoperability). This is in stark contrast with emerging trends in consumer computing, where we find a rich ecosystem of devices and services facilitating a period of intense innovation. This paper documents original research that aims to implement communication beyond specific software suites and test, to what extent, wider software ecosystems revolving around open standards might be implemented within the design and construction domain. Our first test case—an agent-based dynamic simulation combining natural and built environmental components—is deployed to explore the city as a multitude of interrelated natural and built patterns. We analyze the role this simulation might play in managing the complexities of rebuilding a sustainable urban environment after the devastating earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand. The second test case deploys an iPad application to communicate with a BIM model - exploring the development of a mobile application and methodology for openly communicating outside of the intended software family. Through these case studies we begin to identify ways to leverage emergent device and data ecosystems and representations for ‘knitting' devices and services together in innovative ways to advance design and construction processes.

AbstractBioprocess development and optimization are still cost- and time-intensive due to the enormous number of experiments involved. In this study, the recently introduced model-assisted Design of Experiments (mDoE) concept (Möller et al. in Bioproc Biosyst Eng 42(5):867, 10.1007/s00449-019-02089-7, 2019) was extended and implemented into a software (“mDoE-toolbox”) to significantly reduce the number of required cultivations. The application of the toolbox is exemplary shown in two case studies with Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In the first case study, a fed-batch process was optimized with respect to the pH value and linearly rising feeding rates of glucose and nitrogen source. Using the mDoE-toolbox, the biomass concentration was increased by 30% compared to previously performed experiments. The second case study was the whole-cell biocatalysis of ethyl acetoacetate (EAA) to (S)-ethyl-3-hydroxybutyrate (E3HB), for which the feeding rates of glucose, nitrogen source, and EAA were optimized. An increase of 80% compared to a previously performed experiment with similar initial conditions was achieved for the E3HB concentration.
