Although working in teams is an effective method for students to learn skills necessary for information systems, the optimal combination of team members to maximize the learning effectiveness has yet to be clarified. This study investigates the relationship between the combination of students' personality characteristics and learning effectiveness in three information system lecture courses. Two Five...
This paper presents the results of an exploratory research study that investigates factors contributing to preference for the agile software development approaches. The initial exploration revolves around the Five Factor Model of personality and the premise that these personality factors provide a partial explanation of preference for an agile approach. A survey instrument for measuring the preference...
In service-oriented enterprise architecture, provisioning business services is made on top of IT processes, which should be elastic amid the availability of computing resources and the variation of user demand. In addition, the provisioning depends on human resources utilized and is constrained by the business objectives (e.g. a goal) plus coarse-grained constraints (e.g. an order in which business...
With the large-scale distributed system plays an increasingly important role in such fields as national security, critical infrastructure and social life, its vulnerability analysis problem has become a growing focus nowadays. As a vulnerability analysis object, a multi-layer model is put forward firstly, and then a multi-dimension vulnerability analysis framework of large-scale distributed system...
Today, software projects are often characterized by poor quality, schedule overruns and high costs. One of the reasons for this failure is the lack of holistic information available for making suitable corrective actions. So an effective measurement framework which is empirically validated by the project stakeholders is needed to control the project and give directions to accomplish the project goals...
Abstract-Successful independent innovation depends on the ability to integrate external and internal knowledge. The purpose of this study is to verify the relationship between knowledge integration and independent innovation performance in software industry. Therefore, 132 projects of software industry are chosen as research samples. A theory model is constructed based on literature review, and independent...
Service-Oriented Computing is known as a new computing paradigm that utilizes existing services as fundamental elements for developing distributed applications based on the so-called "use, not own" manner. In this paper, services are classified into three levels in accordance with different business requirements. Services are assembled by choosing lower-level services or other services at...
Analytical approaches based on rigorous mathematical foundation are getting more importance in service-oriented computing (SOC) research area. Defining appropriate metrics to measure service quality attributes is one of the key activities in this context which plays an important role in construction of quality service-oriented solutions. In this paper, some metrics are introduced for measuring structural...
Most of the focus in business process modeling (BPM) is on activity-centric; however an emerging approach in the field is entity-centric which benefits from various enhancements in contrast to former approaches. As a consequence, entity-centric business services as the external view of a group of business processes within an organization are getting more importance in contrast to the other types of...
A concern is any consideration that can impact the software architecture and other artefacts. Sustaining stability of concerns realised in architectural designs is essential to obtain long-lasting software products. It is often assumed that concern assessment mechanisms are effective to predict architecture stability. They ought to exert a positive or detrimental effect on software stability. In fact,...
Under current business environment, product development becomes an important way for a firm to enhance its competitive power. Yet in practice, most product development project fail. This paper tries to discover the key elements for its success or failure by way of survey investigation, whose conclusion can be categorized into 6 issues, i.e. organization management, knowledge management, product development...
Service descriptions via Web Services Description Language (WSDL) are necessary but not sufficient to service selection based on service trust. we need a means to collect nonfunctional information about services and use that information to assign dynamic trust levels to the service providers and implementations. In this paper, we briefly discuss the problem of service selection, given some correlation...
Evaluation for the trustworthy of software is now one of the focuses of software engineering. This paper establishes a workflow software trustworthy evaluation model based on grey relation by defining the evaluation indexes of workflow software' capability using the fuzzy math method, and explains the specific calculation process taking the current workflow productions as examples. According to the...
The concept of hi-tech business incubator cluster has been a contentious issue both in the academics and business communities. Based on the discussion of mechanisms and route about endogenous growth of hi-tech business incubators cluster in China, aiming at the status quo of hi-tech business incubators cluster in China with the proposed mechanisms, the paper conducts the grey correlation analysis...
Analyzed here is a fault localization approach based on directed graph in view point of business software. The fault propagation model solved the problem of obtaining the dependency relationship of faults and symptoms semi-automatically. The main idea includes: get the deployment graph of managed business from the topography of network and software environment; generate the adjacency matrix of the...
With the development of computer science and technology, software has been widely applied in all kinds of business. It has been a very popular and important application system. So the quality of software causes more serious attention than before. Design by program invariant is a very important method which is used to improve quality of software. In this paper, a theory model of dynamically detecting...
With growing scale and complexity of software-intensive systems, the requirements to evaluating the effects of components on software quality will dramatically increase. Existing quality metrics for software architecture demand users to perform a tedious and high-cost process so that they cannot meet the needs for a rapid, simple and preliminary evaluation. In this paper, a description technique for...
This paper explores and predicts the link between the motives and the nature of the governance structure in the strategic alliances between the UAE (United Arab Emirates) organizations and the foreign companies in the field of information technology (IT). The hypotheses were tested to predict whether functions and sectors influence the formal of governance between relational versus classical. The...
When providing software in terms of web services, software developing organizations are faced with the challenge of identifying services that maximize the profit by fitting the requirements of as many customers as possible. They do not only have to know which features are required but also what the right functional range of a service is in order to optimize the service demand. In this paper, we present...
