Analyzing job hopping behavior is important for the understanding of job preference and career progression of working individuals. When analyzed at the workforce population level, job hop analysis helps to gain insights of talent flow and organization competition. Traditionally, surveys are conducted on job seekers and employers to study job behavior. While surveys are good at getting direct user...
IT system risk assessments are indispensable due to increasing cyber threats within our ever-growing IT systems. Moreover, laws and regulations urge organizations to conduct risk assessments regularly. Even though there exist several risk management frameworks and methodologies, they are in general high level, not defining the risk metrics, risk metrics values and the detailed risk assessment formulas...
This paper proposes an estimation method for the latent variable Rasch model based on the method of least squares which allows a continuous data set using. The research suggests the application of original approaches within the method for the solution of some applied problems. The authors explain how to use it for task assignment and work organization, decision-making under certainty and the securities...
Based on the perspective of ensuring business continuity through communication and cooperation between the members, the vulnerability of facility management organization under the interference of emergency was studied. The model and simulation of organization network of facility management based on knowing, emotion, consulting and collaboration relationship was put forward. With the case study, there...
This research aims to highlight the levers that are within the reach of Small and Medium Organizations (SMO) who have the purpose to engage in mechatronics. Subsequently, we consider to gradually build up a framework so as to enable these SMO, presently involved in the general mechanical industry, to evaluate their ability to make mechatronic products, adopt scalable evolution strategies and access...
This article discusses the assessment of the impact of the modern risk-based standards for ensuring the safety and security of Complex Industrial Facilities (CIF) of various industries. The focus pointed on the implementation the management systems based on PDCA cycle of safety process for CIF of fuel and energy complexes, including IT-Security. Furthermore, it is shown that the relevant applicability...
Complexity is a term that is currently used not only in research articles but also in the methodologies and standards used to manage information and projects. The complexity can represent the size of a system, process, program or project, the number of functions and the cost of their acquisition, operation and maintenance. Within the context of this work, the complexity is a variable that represents...
Ensuring the alignment between IT and business can be a difficult challenge. That is the reason why the Enterprise Architecture domain exists, to provide guidance on how to better align Business and IT. There are several methods in existence that guide an organization in developing its Enterprise Architecture. However, putting these methods in practice can become a huge project. The purpose of this...
This paper compares the annual metrics reporting documents of two federally funded scientific user facilities: a supercomputing facility and a high-energy x-ray synchrotron facility. The aim of this paper is to motivate a discussion about the extent to which annual metrics reporting documents at user facilities are shaped by the type of scientific resources that they support and other organizational...
Existing registries organize functionally similar services into groups without considering past service-usage from the consumers' perspective, a.k.a. pragmatics. Pragmatics can help registries to calculate service similarity more effectively and improve organization schemes. However, pragmatics are not available beforehand and their highly accumulated number over time creates time and space efficiency...
Recent technology advancements in the areas of compute, storage and networking, along with the increased demand for organizations to cut costs while remaining responsive to increasing service demands have led to the growth in the adoption of cloud computing services. Cloud services provide the promise of improved agility, resiliency, scalability and a lowered Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). This research...
As system of systems (SoS) models become increasingly complex and interconnected a new approach is needed to capture the effects of humans within the SoS. Many real-life events have shown the detrimental outcomes of failing to account for humans in the loop. This research introduces a novel and cross-disciplinary methodology for modeling humans interacting with technologies to perform tasks within...
Previous studies have researched how developer experience affects code quality, but they ignore work difficulty, although experienced developers are more likely to work on the more complex parts of a project. To examine work difficulty, we focus on revised files. Using product metrics, we evaluate file complexity in each type of file origin. Specifically, we analyze three large commercial projects...
The objective of this paper is to illustrate how to monetize infrastructures and services. This is achieved by a combination of measuring consumption, applying pricing strategies and client invoicing. Furthermore, a range of billing solutions are available in order to cover the Rating, Charging and Billing process. The focus here is on the comparison of solution based suitability, which depends on...
Many service desk managers are struggling with the high turnover of service desk employees. Keeping the service desk job interesting and maintaining motivation is considered as a difficult task. In this study, we aim at exploring factors that affect the motivation and demotivation among IT service provider organizations' service desk employees. We shall explore how service desk staff see the concepts...
The present need for software organizations to seamlessly carryout software development results to significant high cost of electricity usage and emission of CO2 which contributes to climate changes. Therefore there is need for software practitioners to adopt sustainable practices in software development process. Sustainable practices can be adopted when software practitioners utilizes software which...
This research is a qualitative case study that examines transformative technical adaptations and organizational process changes in the context of a new product deployment in a large telecommunications corporation. The research advances the existing body of knowledge and understanding of how the interactions of technology and organizational changes contribute to the successful deployment of new product...
Crowdsourced testing is gaining a lot of attention these days. Crowdsourced testing utilizes testers which subscribe to an external or internal crowdsourcing platform. Usually these testers are distributed across geographies. Thus, such testing can be treated as a form of distributed testing. Crowdsourced testing, quite often, is used to perform exploratory testing in which testers test the features...
We believe that software engineering should be taught in a hands-on way such as through a project-based capstone course where students apply the learned concepts in a real setting. However, such a teaching format can be challenging and time-consuming for instructors. In this paper we explain how we selected and introduced a set of metrics to improve the manageability of our large multi-project capstone...
In today's cloud computing platforms, more and more users are now working or collaborating in multi-cloud environment, in which collaborators, clouds, computing nodes may belong to different institutions or organizations. Those different organizations might have their own policies. Security is still a big concern in cloud computing. To help cloud vendors and customers to detect and prevent from being...
