An analysis of MATLAB® integration into mathematical modules at two UK universities is carried out. Both MATLAB integration projects appear to be successful, despite the fact that the two institutions in question are quite different, with one being a well-established research intensive institution and the other a teaching-oriented institution that gained university status in 1992. Despite these differences...
To keep up with the competition, organizations must be capable to dynamically change business process components at runtime. This problem has been relevant for many years; however, there is no proposed solution, which ensures the dynamicity. This paper presents analysis of related work on dynamic business processes, i.e. the analysis of definitions of dynamic business process and different views on...
This article discusses the influence of customer relationship proneness in hairdresser's context. Data are collected using online survey. A conceptual model about customer relationship proneness, relational benefits, customer commitment and customer loyalty is proposed to explain the influence. Structural equation modelling is used to analyze the data. Empirical results show that customer relationship...
Sensemaking is a process of finding meaning from information that often involves activities such as information foraging and hypothesis generation. It can be valuable to maintain a history of the data and reasoning involved. This history, commonly known as provenance information, can be a resource for "reflection-in-action"' during analysis, supporting collaboration between analysts, and...
In order to leverage the benefits of the notion of situation at design time, proper support is required at the modeling level. In the past, this need has led to the development of a situation type specification language called SML. Although SML facilitates the definition of situation types by providing a graphical notation, designers could profit from additional support in order to assess the quality...
Online shopping stores are a new hype in Jordan, and consumers are still not used to buying products online without touching and testing these products, they are also not used to paying online. The intention to buy online is affected by both technology factors and socio-cultural factors specifically trust.
This paper presents a requirements engineering framework SoF(Stakeholder-oriented goal-modeling Framework) based on RWS goal methods and KAOS modeling methods. This framework provides a consistent guide for requirements acquisition, requirements analysis and requirements validation, the three phases of requirements development. In the phase of requirements acquisition, SoF adopts structured text in...
Reuse is a powerful tool for improving the productivity of software development. The paper puts forward arguments in favor of generic requirements reuse rooted in the vision that effectiveness requires a focus on coordinated composition of reusable artifacts across the whole software development life cycle. A survey of publications on requirements reuse from the International Requirements Engineering...
This paper presents a feasible transition path (FTP) generation approach for testing extended finite state machines (EFSM). The major problem faced by EFSM-based testing is the existence of the infeasible paths due to conflict of the context variable with the enable conditions in the transition path. In order to avoid infeasible path generation, this paper proposed an approach that uses the modified...
Almost every company needs to process invoices to either claim money from their customers or to pay for products or services. Although companies are allowed to electronically process their invoices, most of them still rely on the paper-based invoice process. Within this paper we built upon existing work to develop a methodology for defining a reference model for the electronic invoice based on security...
Context is a significant factor in deciding the set of requirements relevant to a system (i.e., software product construction), the alternatives the system can adopt to satisfy these requirements, and the quality assessment of each alternative. By context we mean the conditions in the operating environment of an system that influences how the system should behave in different situations. However,...
Requirements engineering visualization is a rapidly growing field of research; however, the specific characteristics of what makes for effective visualizations during a particular engineering phase have not yet been distinguished. Visualizations, when coupled with traditional practices, augment the ability of resulting requirements artifacts to reach a wide range of stakeholders and provide for a...
A Trust and Context based Access Control model (TCAC) is proposed in this paper, which integrates trust value and context information of users into traditional role based access control. TCAC is flexible and dynamic to limit the authorizations to users. Verification and analysis of access control policy can help us understand the security requirements and states of systems. Colored Petri Net (CPN)...
Depending on the perspectives and the stage within the life cycle IT product are viewed and managed differently. A model is presented that integrates different perspectives and stages serving as an aid for the analysis of business models purposeful and focused positioning of IT-products. Four generic business models are analysed with regard to the product management function in general and the positioning...
