The software industry presents dissatisfaction in relation to the level of recently graduated professionals. Consequently, software companies end up investing in the training of these professionals in order to develop skills related to the software development process. This paper presents an experience report of an adaptation of industry training practices in a course of Software Engineering (SE)...
Development of engineering education in a contemporary research university is relied on the international CDIO (Conceive - Design - Implement - Operate) standards. An important part of the process is development of technologies of methods for development of practical skills of engineering skills of students in electronics. In this paper we discuss the problems of development of laboratory facilities...
This article presents a series of recommendations to integrate techniques of Security Engineering with Agile Methods without compromising agility. Such recommendations are grouped in a guide based on a literature review. To evaluate the guide, specialists with different profiles were interviewed in order to obtain a variety of perspectives on the addressed subject. This way, positive and negative...
Large organizations struggle to keep their training programs aligned with their business processes and policies. Lesson plans are often stored as static documents, which are neither readily searchable nor linked to approved processes and policies, rendering corporate training programs inefficient and outdated. A well-designed knowledge management (KM) system would be able to meet this technological...
In order to exploit the benefits of PBL and mitigate the risk of failure when implementing it, the NEXT (iNnovative Educational experience in Technology) research group has been working on methods and tools focused on managing the PBL approach as applied to Computing. In this context, this article proposes a teaching and learning methodology based on PBL, called xPBL, consisting of elements that reinforce...
Software process simulation is a complex task and in order to conduct a simulation project practitioners require support through a process for software process simulation modelling (SPSM), including what steps to take and what guidelines to follow in each step. This paper provides a literature based consolidated process for SPSM where the steps and guidelines for each step are identified through a...
This paper examines the gap between the perceptions of importance and knowledge in Information Technology (IT) skills among accountants in Australia. 165 accountants were surveyed in this study. The results indicate that accountants have a high IT knowledge in email and communication software, electronic spreadsheet and Internet search tools. As a whole, the perceived IT knowledge among Australian...
This is a non-technical paper describing how and why we organized BEST 2009, the first contest in the series of ldquobenchmark for enhancing the standard of Thai language processingrdquo, which is expected to help accelerate the progress of the natural language processing technology in Thailand by assembling 3 essential components: common standards, resources and researchers. The BEST 2009 : Thai...
The construction industry has been facing a paradigm shift to (i) increase; productivity, efficiency, infrastructure value, quality and sustainability, (ii) reduce; lifecycle costs, lead times and duplications, via effective collaboration and communication of stakeholders in construction projects. Digital construction is a political initiative to address low productivity in the sector. This seeks...
The dynamics of business and software engineering in the flattened world poses both challenges and opportunities in terms of pedagogical exploration and innovative experiments. A generic pedagogical scenario is to serve the purpose by incorporating two empiricist approaches in management education to emphasize situated authentic experiences in context. A case contextualized game for software project...
A process is an important concept in modern software development. Only when the activities are organized in process descriptions, can these be communicated, followed, observed, and improved. The basis for understanding what testing is, is therefore the understanding of the testing process. This paper presents the general concept of a process, and expands on this to present a suggestion for a generic...
Too often projects deliver software of which the quality is difficult to predict. Sometimes the project completion is delayed due to the continuous change of requirements while the software is still being built. The quality level must align with the company needs. It is extremely important that the planned benefits of an IT system are reached. When the benefits are not achieved it will cause much...
We present features of an education system entirely based on a 7-months project, performed by a 6-students team within a virtual company and tutored by an experimented software engineer. We describe some aspects of a past project: functions of the system, technology, deliverables, and assessment. Students' outcomes are drafted in term of roles.
