Enhancing Quality in Agile Requirement Elicitation Process

Eliciting requirements is one of the key aspects of the software development life cycle.Incorrect determination of the requirements can lead to the failure of the projects.Traditional waterfall method does not accommodate changing requirements easily while agile methodology welcomes the changing requirements even at the later phases of the development life cycle.The aim of the research is to improve the agile requirement elicitation process to ensure quality product is developed that aligns to the organizational strategy and its high value initiatives.Requirement elicitation process within agile projects should consider organisational actor's strategic dependency and rationale to ensure alignment with organisational strategy.We propose to improve the requirement elicitation process by combining i*organizational models with standard Agile-Scrum methodology through a real-life health service provider scenario.The aim of our methodology is to ensure the social aspects of the organizational actor's strategic dependency and rationale are considered.We argue the requirement process could be significantly improved by combining these two aspects; Agile-Scrum methodology will address the requirements through user stories, vision document, epics and i*organizational model will include the social aspects of the organization to reduce the gap between the project goal and organization goal.

Feedback control of acoustic musical instruments when the number of sensors and actuators differ

Actuated instruments can be created in a variety of ways. An interesting class of actuated instruments are feedback-controlled acoustic musical instruments. A robust way to create these is to employ pairs of collocated sensors and actuators, and then to use the feedback control to simulate virtual physical systems. In the linear and time-invariant case, this means that the feedback control functions can be designed to be positive real. Accordingly, the physical properties of the instrument can become adjustable via the feedback control. An interesting case arises when the number of actuators and sensors differ. The actuators and sensors can however still potentially be collocated, which will result in the individual transfer functions from the actuators to the sensors (e.g. the mobilities) in being positive real. Under some special cases, stable feedback control can still be attained for a wide variety of feedback gains. The Feedback Guitar serves as an interesting case study for this. It has one actuator, which is approximately collocated with six piezoelectric sensors, one for each string. Using any non-negative linear combination of the sensor signals, an approximately positive real mobility can be obtained, which can enable stable feedback control for a wide variety of feedback gains.

Role of Statisticians in Building the UAE Knowledge Economy

Statistical knowledge and expertise are gaining importance during this era of information and knowledge economy (KE). In addition to the fundamental role they play in R&D, statistical methods and techniques are widely utilized to assess knowledge output and performance of knowledge economies. This paper provides an overview of the use of statistics in the workplace in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and the role statistics and statisticians play in the country's endeavors to transform to a KE. The paper further elucidates the gap between statistics education and the labor market needs. Information are garnered from a sample of 104 statisticians and practitioners with related backgrounds on several issues covering the level of statistical practice in the country, training and professional development and the role statisticians play in supporting research and decision making. Evidence reveals a growing recognition of the role of statistics in the country. Several limitations, however, were noted including increased shortages in supply of statisticians and a lack of indepth professional training in traditional and emerging statistics topics together with a lack of quality research output.
Classification of inter-floor noise type/position via supervised learning

This work presents noise type/position classification of various inter-floor noises generated in a building which is a serious conflict issue in apartment complexes. For this study, a collection of inter-floor noise dataset is recorded with a single microphone. Noise types/positions are selected based on a report by the Floor management Center under Korea Environmental Corporation. Using a convolutional neural networks based classifier, the inter-floor noise signals converted to log-scaled Mel-spectrograms are classified into noise types or positions. Also, our model is evaluated on a standard environmental sound dataset ESC-50 to show extensibility on environmental sound classification.
DNA-inspired characterization and detection of novel social Twitter spambots

Spambot detection is a must for the protection of cyberspace, in terms of both threats to sensitive information of users and trolls that may want to cheat and influence the public opinion. Unfortunately, new waves of malicious accounts are characterized by advanced features, making their detection extremely challenging. In contrast with the supervised spambot detectors largely used in recent years and inspired by biological DNA, we propose an alternative, unsupervised detection approach. Its novelty is based on the idea of modeling online user behaviors with strings of characters representing the sequence of the user&apos;s online actions. Exploiting this nature-inspired behavioral model, the proposed technique lets groups of spambots emerge from the crowd, by comparing the accounts&apos; behaviors. Results show that the proposal outperforms the best-of-breed algorithms commonly employed for spambot detection.
The Influence of Direct Reading Thinking Activity (DRTA) Strategy andReading Interest toward Reading Achievement of the Tenth Grade Students at MA Miftahul Jannah Peninjauan OKU

Abstract The aim of this study was to find out whether or not there was a significant interaction effect of DRTA strategy and reading interest on reading achievement before and after being taught using DRTA Strategy and conventional strategy.

Data Migration from Libsys to Koha ILS: An Experimental Study

Library automation is one of the primary activities of all kinds of libraries. In this paper, we are focusing on academic library system. For library automation, academic libraries are using some Integrated Library Management System (ILMS) software that may be proprietary or open source. The question of data migration emerges when library administrators think of moving from an existing ILMS to a new ILMS. This paper aims to present a systematic approach for data migration from existing ILMS (Libsys) to a new ILMS (Koha) and it has been successfully experimented at Tezpur University library system. The study found that both bibliographical data and patron data in the new system (Koha) are identical with existing system (Libsys).

MISunderstood: A Longitudinal Analysis of Major MISperceptions

Low information system (IS) enrollment continues to present a threat to IS programs and pose a serious problem to companies in desperate need of IS professionals. Research attributes low enrollment and the shortage of IS talent to misperceptions about the nature of IS programs, careers, and job prospects. Recent research (Akbulut-Bailey, 2012) suggests that enrollment remains low despite improved perceptions about the IS job market, which raises the question as to whether the misperceptions about IS careers and programs still exist and whether they represent the main factor in why students do not choose the IS field. Using the case study method (Yin 1984), we provide a longitudinal view of the perceptions that students have had about MIS, how they have changed, and ways in which we can meaningfully combat misperceptions.

Ecuaciones de Predicción del Movimiento Fuerte para un Sistema de Alerta Temprana de Terremotos

Since Chile is constantly exposed to mega-earthquakes, this research developed Ground Motion Prediction Equations (GMPEs) carried out with help from the Centro Sismologico Nacional (CSN). The predictive seismic amplitude curves were generated from the seismic gap that exist in Chile. This zone extends from Arica with latitude of 18S to the north of the peninsula of Mejillones at a latitude of 23S.All this motivated the implementation of the japanese Early Earthquake Warning System (EEWS) allowing in real time and in a simplified way based on predictions of magnitude, the estimation of seismic intensity for interplate earthquakes.Reliable coefficients were obtained for a range ranging from 4,0Mw to 8,1Mw. Since these predictions are close enough to actual data, according to the analysis of variability it is posible to calculate thresholds of seismic intensity, and based on those calculations develop courses of action for earthquake-prone communities.

Towards an Inclusive Definition and Framework Development for M-Learning

Mobile learning has changed the course of learning in higher and tertiary education. However, there are still mixed views on the inclusive definition and best usable frameworks for implementing mobile learning in formal education system. Hence, the question, which has been posed but not been explicitly answered by researchers, is: What is the correct view of mobile learning? This question has left so many researchers mystified but the answer lies in the way in which mobile learning is defined. How then should mobile learning be defined? This article serves to propose an inclusive definition that can be used to guide the development of mobile learning systems in formal education. In addition to the guide, this paper proposes a framework for usage and implementing multimedia mobile e-learning.
Piecewise Scanning and Stitching of Large Originals

This chapter is devoted to the stitching of image sequences that result from the scanning of large posters. When a poster is quite large and does not fit on the scanner plane, it is possible to scan it in several runs and stitch the partly overlapping parts. This method is based on finding feature points in the images, pairwise image matching and adding images one by one to the resulting large image. For matching, we use linear warping models that involve shift and rotation. For seamless stitching, an optimal seam is constructed through overlapping areas using Dijkstra’s algorithm and multiband blending enables invisible image transition.
