An Experience on Applying Software Testing for Teaching Introductory Programming Courses
Authors: S. Brito Maria A. , Rossi João L. , S. de Souza Simone R. , V. Braga Rosana T.
Published: December 2018

Previous work has demonstrated that the use of software testing concepts for teaching introductory programming courses may be a good practice for the students. Indeed, these courses provide limited opportunities for the teacher regarding dynamic activities that could help students in the learning process. This paper describes an approach in which test sets are reused in the context of teaching introductory programming courses, as an alternative to increase the quality of the programs generated by students. An experimental study was carried out to investigate the impact of reusing test cases during the programming learning. The objective is to evaluate if the use of test cases might improve the quality of programs implemented by the students. Sixty undergraduate students participated in the experiment, implementing programs in the domain of vectors. A set of reference programs was used to generate test cases, based on functional testing, to be reused by the students to test their programs. Considering a range of 1 − 10, the programs’ quality increased from 5.3 to 7.4 using this approach. The results provide evidences that the reuse of test cases during introductory programming courses may help to increase the quality of the programs generated by students, motivating them to apply software testing during the development of the programs.

Published: December 2018

Green cloud computing aims at a processing infrastructure that combines flexibility, quality of services, and reduced energy utilisation. In order to achieve this objective, the management solution must regulate the internal settings to address the pressing issue of data centre over- provisioning related to the need to match the peak demand. In this context, we propose an integrated solution for environment, services and network management based on organisation model of autonomous agent components. This work introduces the system management model, analyses the system’s behaviour, describes the operation principles, and presents a case study scenario and some results. We extended CloudSim to simulate the organisation model approach and implemented the migration and reallocation policies using this improved version to validate our management solution.
Co-design of Compiler and Hardware Techniques to Reduce Program Code Size on a VLIW Processor
Authors: Stotzer Eric J. , Leiss Ernst L.
Published: December 2018

Code size is a primary concern in the embedded computing community. Minimizing physical memory requirements reduces total system cost and improves performance and power efficiency. VLIW processors rely on the compiler to statically encode the ILP in the program before its execution, and because of this, code size is larger relative to other processors. In this paper we describe the co-design of compiler optimizations and processor architecture features that have progressively reduced code size across three generations of a VLIW processor.
Parallel Adaptive Simulation of Coupled Incompressible Viscous Flow and Advective-Diffusive Transport Using Stabilized FEM Formulation
Authors: L. Rossa André , L.G.A. Coutinho Alvaro
Published: December 2018

In this work we study coupled incompressible viscous flow and advective-diffusive trans- port of a scalar. Both the Navier-Stokes and transport equations are solved using an Eulerian approach. The SUPG/PSPG stabilized finite element formulation is applied for the governing equations. The implementation is held using the libMEsh finite element library which provides support for parallel adaptive mesh refinement and coarsening. The Rayleigh-B ́enard natural convection and the planar lock-exchange density current problems are solved to assess the adaptive parallel performance of the numerical solution.
Facial Recognition Using Neural Networks over GPGPU
Authors: Balarini Juan Pablo , Nesmachnow Sergio , Rodríguez Martín
Published: December 2018

This article introduces a parallel neural network approach implemented over Graphic Processing Units (GPU) to solve a facial recognition problem, which consists in deciding where the face of a person in a certain image is pointing. The proposed method uses the parallel capabilities of GPU in order to train and evaluate a neural network used to solve the abovementioned problem.

The experimental evaluation demonstrates that a significant reduction on computing times can be obtained allowing solving large instances in reasonable time. Speedup greater than 8 is achieved when contrasted with a sequential implementation and classification rate superior to 85 % is also obtained.
Using distributed local information to improve global performance in Grids
Authors: Verghelet Paula , Fernández Slezak Diego , Turjanski Pablo , Mocskos Esteban
Published: December 2018

Grid computing refers to the federation of geographically distributed and heterogeneous computer resources. These resources may belong to different administrative domains, but are shared among users. Every grid presents a key component responsible for obtaining, distributing, indexing and archiving information about the configuration and state of services and resources. Optimizing tasks assignations and user requests to resources require the maintenance of up-to-date information about the grid.

In large scale Grids, the dynamics of the resource information cannot be captured using a static hierarchy and relying in manual configuration and administration. It is necessary to design new policies for discovery and propagation of resource information. There is a growing interest in the interaction of Grid Computing and the Peer to Peer (P2P) paradigm, pushing towards scalable solutions.

In this work, starting from the Best-Neighbor policy based on previously published ideas, the reasons behind its lack of performance are explored. A new improved Best-Neighbor policy are proposed and analyzed, comparing it with Random, Hierarchical and Super- Peer policies.

Empirical Assessments of a tool to support Web usability inspection
Authors: Vaz Verônica T. , Conte Tayana , H. Travassos Guilherme
Published: December 2018

Usability is one of the most important software quality attributes regarding its acceptability by end users. It is even more important in the context of Web applications. One way of evaluating application usability is through inspections. The WDP (Web Design Perspectives- based Usability Inspection Technique) presents evidence of industrial use feasibility; however some computerized support had been suggested by practitioners. Therefore, the WDP Tool was built, aiming to provide automated support the WDP technique application, reducing the effort involved in usability inspections with WDP. This paper presents two observational studies regarding the use of the WDP Tool use, one in vivo and one in vitro, which aimed to analyze the cost-effectiveness of its application and its appropriateness to the industrial environment through the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The results provide indications about the feasibility of using the WDP Tool to support usability inspections in real software development projects in the industry.

Published: December 2018

We analyze the performance-power-energy balance of a conventional Intel Xeon mul- ticore processor and two low-power architectures –an Intel Atom processor and a sys- tem with a quad-core ARM Cortex A9+NVIDIA Quadro 1000M– using a high perfor- mance implementation of Gauss-Jordan elimination (GJE) for matrix inversion. The blocked version of this algorithm employed in the experimental evaluation mostly com- prises matrix-matrix products, so that the results from the evaluation carry beyond the simple matrix inversion and are representative for a wide variety of dense linear algebra operations/codes.

Authors: SMIRNOVA Polina Viktorovna , SEREBRENNIKOVA Yulia Aleksandrovna
Published: December 2018

We present the experience of reflexive activity approach to the preparation of future teachers to work on the management of project and research activities of younger schoolchildren. The theoretical basis of the research conducted at the university school of the Moscow City University is revealed. The description of an empirical stage of research of process of acquisition by bachelor degree students of the important labor functions focused on development of cognitive interests and cognitive abilities of younger schoolchildren is stated. The described program includes several interrelated blocks: theoretical block of the course “Research and Project Activities of Schoolchildren”, training research abilities, independent research practice of students and monitoring research activities of students. The experiment showed a high level of readiness for the management of research and project activities of younger schoolchildren. In addition, the generalized reflective data obtained during the training of students of different courses. As a result, we discovered that the training of students in the framework of reflexive activity approach creates conditions for the formation of future teacher’s competencies, the most popular in the modern labor market, the so-called “future skills”: general research skills; critical thinking; communication skills; teamwork skills; creative approach; skills in situations of uncertainty and risk.
“THE DISTORTION OF CLASS POLICY STEMMED FROM THE IMPURITY OF TAX BUREAUCRACY WITH EXTRANEOUS PEOPLE”: ORGANISING A CAMPAIGN FOR CLEARING OF TAX SERVICES
Authors: KILIN Aleksey Pavlovich
Published: December 2018

The aim of the study is to investigate into the tax bureaucracy control mechanism which was implemented under the campaign for collection of arrears from private entrepreneurs and for clearing of tax bureaucracy. The source for the research is the instructions of Central Headquarters of working team for patronage over USSR People’s Commissariat for Finance and the instructions of Sverdlovsk Regional Financial Administration in respect to Sverdlovsk regional financial department. Under the campaign not only fiscal but also political aims were present: to demonstrate the determination of the government in its fight against private sector and to organise a clearing of tax bureaucracy from the representatives of class extraneous social groups. The engagement of factory workers, true proletariat, able to gradually fulfil the designated aims was seen as a guarantee of the campaign. Active participation of citizens who were not professionally qualified for this campaign led to the abuse and violation of legislature. However, in the view of the organisers this fact was not seen as a flaw considering the political character of the campaign. Financial workers were seen as potential law-breakers in the instructions; their activities were evaluated as not effective enough and contradicting the ideology. This approach contradicted the presumption of innocence, discredited both an individual worker and a financial organisation. This campaign testified for radical attack on the New Economic Policy not only in respect to its mixed economy but also to the institutions that provided the functioning of market mechanism in Soviet Russia. Financial organisations either disappeared or their activity was essentially transformed under the mobilisation model of Soviet economy.

Authors: MOROZOVA Nonna Antonovna , KULICHENKO Raisa Mikhaylovna , PENKOV Vladimir Fedorovich , KURIN Andrey Yurevich
Published: December 2018

In the system of training a modern competent graduate of a Russian university, one of the ways to improve it is to include in the content of his training discipline “Academic writing”. At the same time, in the context of the principles of succession and continuity, it is necessary to deepen and expand the content of the discipline, increase the number of practical classes, the result of which will be the qualitative writing of scientific texts by students, and ultimately, the scientifically competent writing of the text of the research performed by them. On the basis of the principles of succession and continuity, the stages of development of academic writing at the successive school and university educational levels are presented. It is shown that the training in the course “Academic writing” will form the academic communicative written and verbal competence, that is, to form knowledge about how to write a term paper, graduate work and other types of written texts; knowledge of various methods of working with text information; the ability to write such works, the ability to make a scientific report publicly; possession of the skills of structuring the text and building logical relationships. In general, the analysis has helped to identify the need and necessity of inclusion in school and university curricula of the subject “Academic writing”; the need for the creation of training programs, the continuity of the textbooks, “Academic writing” for general and higher education; the obligation of identification or of training, retraining in the system of training specialists for the implementation of the teaching of this school subject, which will allow to improve the system of training modern competent professionals.

An Analytical Study of the Effect of Inflation on Stock Market Returns
Authors: Sathyanarayana S. , Gargesa Sudhindra
Published: December 2018

Inflation means a persistent change in the price level of goods and services in an economy. It is generally measured in the consumer price index (CPI) or retail price index (RPI). Inflation reduces the purchasing power of a country's currency, as we need more units of currency over time to buy the same goods and services. The current empirical paper entitled “relationship between inflation and stock market evidence from selected global stock markets” have been undertaken with an intention to investigate the relationship between inflation and stock returns of the chosen economies. In order to realize the stated objectives, the researchers have collected the monthly data 2000 to 2017 for selected indices. In the first phase, log returns were computed and it has been tested for the existence of unit root in the distribution. In the second phase, we ran Pearson correlation coefficient for the collected data to find out the association between the inflation and stock returns. Majority of the chosen indices recorded a negative coefficient with the dependent variable. For India, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Chile, China, France, Ireland we found a negative coefficient. However, Brazil Indonesia, Japanese, Mexico, Spanish and Turkey reported a positive coefficient.  Current study clearly throws light on the effect of inflation on the stock market returns, therefore; it can help the market participants such as traders, fund managers, and investors to make good portfolio decisions based on the information about expected inflation and unexpected inflation. The study confirms that there exists a significant relationship between the stock returns and inflation for Australian, Belgium, Canadian, Chilean, Chinese, French and Irish stock benchmark indices. Firms can take this one has a clue to adjust their reported profits by raising the prices.  The policymakers can employ contractionary policy to reduce the supply of money by offering a low interest rate on t bills, increasing the interest rates (bank rate policy) and increasing the cash reserve ratios which in turn reduces the lending capacity of the banks.
The Law Related to Consumer Protection in India: Issues and Redressal Mechanism
Authors: Kulshrestha Sony
Published: December 2018

Who is a consumer, always creates a new debate? A person who avails/consumes the services in exchange of the consideration is a consumer according to the given definition of consumer under Consumer Protection Act, 1986. This definition never includes any commercial activities or any re-sale or without fee transaction. We on daily basis face various MRP related issues, poor quality of products, adulteration, no bill issues and many more. Some of us raise a voice against these unfair practices but number of us always keep silence and take everything so easy. The reason behind this may be nobody has time or knowledge, when and where to proceed. The right of consumer protection only needs the awareness; awareness about the provisions, process, forums and a fair counselling. Though government has initiated number of awareness schemes which includes the advertisements on television, newspapers and in magazines, skits, workshops and various poster making competitions, still the consumer exploitation continues. In this research paper by using an empirical and doctrinal technique of research the researcher wants to highlight the area where the law is lacking its enforcement to protect the interest of the consumer. The researcher also draws an attention about consumer rights, various grievance redressal agencies, who and how can file a complaint, the jurisdiction and the format of filing a complaint.

Education  as an aspect of life that cannot be separated from the community. How to make the education that not only strewn by the dynamics  change, but it was able to portray as an agent of change itself. Islam as a religion of mercy for all of nature certainly pays more attention to the circumstances of the community. This  is apparent from the evidence of history, how the Prophet Muhammad  built the Arabic community. Then continue to evolve until Islam spreads into all over the world. The result oh this articel show that Islam built the community  through education, because the process of education is one of the effective ways in building people. In Islamic education always pays attention to two viewpoints in all aspects, such as lahiriyah and bathiniyah aspects, individual  and social aspects, worldly and hereafter, i.e. the formation of ‘insan kamil’ or perfect human.

With the increasingly strict requirements of the ship classification bureau for permissible noise limits to allow passengers and crew to be more comfortable and secure a technical assessment is required to address the characteristics of the noise. A noise beyond the standard allowed in the vessel can be a problem to the ship operators. This noise problem will greatly affects the crews' comfort and passengers. One method to reduce the noise on a ship is to use sound insulation. This paper describes the method for determining the absorption coefficient α and the transmission loss (TL) through an acoustic test of a concrete insulation in the laboratory. The test was conducted by using the method of impedance tube where a speciment response measured by a microphone. In general, the properties of this insulation material remains as the main base material which is concrete. it has been found that the transmission loss value (TL) is in the range of 10 - 50 dB whereas for the base material the concrete is around 22 - 49 dB but the absorption coefficient α of the specimen material is much higher than the material of the base material especially in high frequency, which ranges from 0.15 to 0.97, whereas for concrete base materials have absorbent coefficient α ranges from 0.01 to 0.02.
Guest Editorial: Robust Well Barrier and Well Integrity Management

Guest editorial

There is an increased focus and emphasis on managing well integrity with smarter, more integrated and cost-efficient tools, systems, and solutions.

The words “well integrity” and “digitalization” have become common buzzwords in the oil and gas industry. Many discussions have centered on combining these words to create better solutions to safeguard our wells. However, how do we measure well integrity in the most effective manner? And what do we measure well integrity against?

To start with, we need a clearly defined yardstick or basis for measuring the integrity of our wells. We need to know what is in the well. Furthermore, we need a set of parameters to measure against.

A principle objective is to define the well barriers and to visualize how to best safeguard our wells to reduce risk and avoid accidents. This can be done by using an integrated well integrity management system that includes—as a foundation—clear and consistent well barrier illustrations and tables containing information of each well barrier element. This is the logical starting point for creating and retaining well integrity. 

It is important to understand that the technical well barriers play a vital part in managing well integrity and reducing risk. Figuratively speaking, 90% of well integrity is about the technical well barriers, which have the capability and strength to contain pressure and hydrocarbons. The organizational, operational, and functional solutions are merely the “lubricants” in the “machinery” that help make the wheels turn in achieving and maintaining well integrity.

Well barrier elements alone cannot hold anything in place. However, when these are placed together as a chain of components, they will form an envelope that can withstand the pressure.

Two-Barrier Philosophy

One of the principles that is applied to mitigate risk is the two-barrier philosophy, where you have a primary barrier, which is backed by a secondary barrier. NORSOK, the Norwegian organization that sets standards for the offshore exploration and production sector, defines well barriers as envelopes of one or several dependent well barrier elements that prevent fluids or gases from flowing unintentionally from the formation, into another formation or to surface.

As part of the two-barrier philosophy, formation pressure is contained by a caprock. The moment the caprock is removed, it needs to be replaced with a primary barrier. This barrier will have to function inside and outside of any casing that is run in the well.

A secondary barrier to support the primary barrier needs to be established. The secondary barrier envelope is independent of the primary barrier. This well barrier prevents flow from a breach of the primary barrier envelope (Fig. 1).

In the last year, the oil and gas industry has continued to recover against a backdrop of steadily rising oil prices. Companies, however, continue to take a cautious approach in their investment decisions as they try to maximize value and minimize risk. The future remains uncertain, with oil-price fluctuations factored into decision-making. Further uncertainty prevails in an environment of increasing societal and investor accountability and a continually evolving energy landscape.

Critically, any entity assessing project viability at any stage of the exploration-to-production life cycle must ensure an evergreen examination of the commercial likelihood on the basis of ongoing data analysis, refining development synergies coupled with strategic reframing as required. A rigorous assessment of both the technical and commercial basis for a project must be maintained at all times. Greater transparency and objectivity are required in the decision-making process to ensure future economic success. We cannot afford to become complacent.

The papers here address various aspects of project evaluation and investment decision-making—evaluating plays on a clustered-development basis (paper OTC 28499), redefining the framework for capital-allocation management (paper OTC 28685), or reframing exploration strategy to maximize project value (paper SPE 187143). 

Lastly, in June 2018, the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE, and on behalf of the associated sponsor societies) released an update to the Petroleum Resources Management System (PRMS). While the update has been described as “an evolution, not a revolution,” you are encouraged to familiarize yourself with the communication released by SPE, conduct your own review of the new document, critically examine your current processes, test your understanding, ensure that project evaluations and their associated reserves and resources estimates are compliant with PRMS 2018, and use the system to help optimize resource management.

Creativity and innovation have long characterized production and facilities, and this year is no exception. Much of the work reported this past year was conducted during the recent period of low oil prices. The economic challenges of the oil industry clearly have provided a strong stimulus for even more creativity and innovation. 

The use of big data and analytics appeared in a number of papers with an emphasis on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for building databases used to monitor the health of equipment and structure risk-based-inspection (RBI) strategies. Monitoring data inputs from thousands of sensors (paper OTC 28990) allows an AI application to predict an impending failure and notify operators by text or email when the incipient problem is detected so that proactive maintenance can be scheduled to avoid an unplanned shutdown or catastrophic failure. This strategy is being successfully applied to compressors but no doubt will be used to monitor other high-cost, critical service equipment as well (paper SPE 188803). 

Progress continues on the design and application of inflow-control devices (ICDs).  Introduced only a few years ago, these devices are still in a rapid development stage for both design and application. Now, ICDs are applied successfully to improve the fluid-injection patterns for both steamfloods and waterfloods, the latter being described as a successful field application (paper SPE 189824). For steamfloods, passive and autonomous ICD designs were evaluated and their performance modeled using computational fluid dynamics (paper SPE 189721).

The integration of subsurface modeling and surface-facility design by the development of a data-driven stochastic work flow (paper SPE 187462) demonstrated a means to reduce both subsurface and facility costs by reducing the biases that inevitably come into play during the generation of a field-development plan. 

Other innovative work was reported on field optimization, the prediction of asphaltene precipitation, and the integration of RBI with vibration-induced fatigue failure of installed piping systems. Interesting work not discussed here includes evaluating corrosion under severe conditions and the development of an oil-droplet-coalescing pump for use in water treatment.
