Information is the most important asset of organizations, currently, the fast, effective and accurate access is vital for strategic decision making and the organizations competitiveness. The education area is not the exception, so this article aims to share the experiences of collaboration between two Universities about learning analitycs and academic analytics tools, to motivate other universities...
Gamification has been applied in software engineering contexts, and more recently in requirements engineering with the purpose of improving the motivation and engagement of people performing specific engineering tasks. But often an objective evaluation that the resulting gamified tasks successfully meet the intended goal is missing. On the other hand, current practices in designing gamified processes...
Automated decision-making techniques have been proposed to support engineers in selecting and prioritising requirements. However, to be effectively used in practice they need to be integrated into the organisational context, and their users, namely the members of the development team, and more generally the project's stakeholders, need to be engaged in the resulting tool-supported decision-making...
This research aims to provide more evidences about the impact of human factors in agile software projects. In this light we have conducted a systematic literature review (SLR) to investigate which human factors impact agile projects and conducted a survey in software companies in order to verify their perceptions. Considering the SLR, we found 48 resulting studies where most cited human factors were:...
This paper describes a case study of scrum adaption in a legacy project referred here as Global Configurator Project (GCP) where key stakeholders are distributed across locations in Germany, India and the U.S. The paper presents practices that improved communication and collaboration, helped the team overcome the key project challenges caused by the product owners and scrum master not being co-located,...
The documentation of architecture and design decisions lies at the backbone of building a comprehensive architectural knowledge basis within a company. As a consequence, a plethora of supporting frameworks has been lately proposed by the research community. The existing frameworks focus on capturing the rationale that lies behind a certain decision, but less on sustaining the collaborative process...
Service-oriented product lines provide a unified representation of variants of the possible applications of a specific domain. The configuration process is often completed by multi-stakeholders collaboratively. However, current configuration methods do not provide means to coordinate concurrent decision making. In this paper, we present a framework that describes the collaborative configuration process...
• Measures of Participation should be qualified w/questionnaires, knowledge discovery, and group interaction coding systems • Software Add-Ons/Extensions to make software more User Friendly
Inflo is a web-based tool designed to support quantitative decision-making problems such as carbon calculators. Using the dataflow programming paradigm, Inflo provides an extensible environment for end-user programming. Inflo is built around the idea of collaboration and openness for opportunistic code-reuse and unplanned code sharing.
DHS has recently established the Analytic Capability Development Working Group (ACDWG) whose aim is to reduce the lifecycle and capital investment costs of analytic efforts while continually enhancing the ability to inform decision-makers within mandated timeframes. Specifically, the working group is helping to develop a common analytic frameworks in order to address the challenges that users and...
The introduction and rapid growth of social computing into educational practices has encouraged the development of the networked learning through a careful evaluation of the “social nature” of digital applications that implement interaction and collaboration among network users. This evolution is reflected in the Virtual Learning Environments (VLE) systems and supports the progress to online shared...
This paper analyzed the status of networked manufacturing technologies, put forward new networked manufacturing mode based on the integration of ASP and CPC; constructed the overall framework for designing system under new networked manufacturing mode; integrated service and function from CPC based previous ASP networked manufacturing mode with deeply analysis about these service and topology structure,...
There is a vital need to electronically preserve our cultural heritage as well as the digital outcomes of today's research, arts and humanities. Due to the rapid pace of changes in information technologies, digital data, documents and records are likely to become uninterpretable bit-streams within short periods of time. Digital Preservation deals with the long-term storage, access and maintenance...
In this paper, we propose a collaborative decision support platform that supports the product manager in defining the contents of a product release. The platform allows interactive and collaborative decision making by facilitating the exchange of information about product features among individual autonomous stakeholders, providing reputation-enhanced collaboration, ensuring a positive collaboration...
Cloud computing has emerged as a popular paradigm that offers computing resources (e.g. CPU, storage, bandwidth, software) as scalable and on-demand services over the Internet. As more players enter this emerging market, a heterogeneous cloud computing market is expected to evolve, where individual players will have different volumes of resources, and will provide specialized services, and with different...
Collaborative software technology management point of view to assist the industry in the use of collaborative enterprise to create competitive advantage, into the network era of economic and information systems to integrate control of the development platform to build synergies and reduce the occurrence of system customization. When the majority of the common problems faced by enterprises, will be...
This paper is motivated by the need to address the innovative development of algorithms to solve combinatorial problems, generally issued from decision making. Because modeling and resolution of this kind of problems is a software engineering subject, then to find better ways of developing algorithms, solvers and metaheuristics is our interest too. Here, we fixed some concepts from knowledge management,...
Estimation is a decision making activity that can influence the success or failure of a project. Due to the complexity and the high number of variables involved, it is very important to provide automated support for project managers perform this task. Moreover, it is recommended that it is performed by experienced people, and that the project manager works collaboratively with other people that can...
In this paper, we propose an approach for belief merging in collaborative conceptual modeling which is inevitably tarnished by uncertainty of multi-source information. This approach is a kind of iterative, mutual evaluating and role-based belief revision process. Based on concepts from belief theory, we conceive that the reliability belief participants assume to each other will affect their choice...
To resolve inefficiencies in traditional decision support system (DSS) as the lack of semantic representation and imperfections of software computing environments, we proposed a semantic decision support system (SDSS). Based on traditional DSS, SDSS expands the existing decision-making methodologies to realize semantics formalization of decision problem, decision model and other data related to decision-making...
