Metric selection in software engineering could be a cumbersome and time-consuming task, and in particular, for web information system due to its inherent immediacy characteristics. Hence, a specific tool for web systems, based on a well-grounded model, is greatly needed. In this paper, we propose a model to address the challenge of metric selection for web systems, and illustrate WDMES (Web Development...
In this paper, we present a novel dynamic scheme to estimate the execution time of stored procedures inside the Database Management Systems (DBMS). Our estimation model can provide users an accurate estimation of the execution time of stored procedures. The proposed estimation model adopts the basic idea of Radial Basis Function (RBF) network to accurately predict the execution time of the stored...
Workflow in interactive media and software development can be used to improve the development process as well as adding new features to the system as opposed to using classical software development approaches. Three types of workflow are distinguished to be sequential, state-machine, and rule-based workflow. This paper shows how these approaches can be used to improve the software quality and the...
Activity based costing (ABC) can be integrated with Unified modeling methodology (UMM) to identify the required activities and further calculate the cost. Specifying right activities for ABC is a challenge and involves a complicated process, but UMM helps discovering all activities and facilitates the specification of the critical activities.
Web services provide many benefits for developing Web applications based on SOA (Service Oriented Architecture). However, there are some open issues such as security that need to be addressed by standard bodies and technology vendors in order for Web services to become a viable solution for building global service oriented architectures. As a result, much emphasis has been placed on the development...
The Web application security challenge is to understand and assess the risk involved in securing a Web service today, based on existing security technology, and at the same time track emerging standards and understand how they will be used to offset the risk in new Web services. Any trust model must illustrate how data can flow through an application and network topology to meet the requirements defined...
Most researchers and experts in human computer interaction (HCI) and e-learning areas evaluate the system usability primarily based on user interfaces without paying much attention to the content of the site; e.g. course content. However, according to available usability models, the two important criteria of usability include user satisfaction and learnability which the former is related directly...
