Continuous Delivery is an agile software development practice in which developers frequently integrate changes into the main development line and produce releases of their software. An automated Continuous Integration infrastructure builds and tests these changes. Claimed advantages of CD include early discovery of (integration) errors, reduced cycle time, and better adoption of coding standards and...
At present time all administration processes in many universities of Uzbekistan are mainly paper based. It requires the usage of huge amount of paper, leads information lose and overlapping, creates bureaucracy barriers for students and teachers. One of examples is the administration system of Tashkent University of IT (TUIT): all documents starting from admission until graduation process are mainly...
Business intelligence (BI) builds upon a set of tools and applications that enable the analysis of vast amounts of information (Big Data). Educational institutions handle large volumes of Big Data every year. There is a strong need for the use of BI in these institutions to improve their processes and support decision making. The core technology in a BI project is a datawarehouse (DW). This paper...
ArchiMate is a widely adopted enterprise architecture modeling language that includes the "service" construct as a key structuring element across its enterprise layers. A previous analysis of the use of this construct within ArchiMate's business layer concluded that it fails to represent some important social aspects associated with the dynamics of service relations, which led to recommendations...
This paper presents the main results achieved in the program eMadrid Program in Open Educational Resources, Free Software, Open Data, and about formats and standardization of content and services.
Spreadsheet environments like MS Excel are the most widespread type of end-user software development tools and spreadsheet-based applications can be found almost everywhere in organizations. Since spreadsheets are prone to error, several approaches were proposed in the research literature to help users locate formula errors. However, the proposed methods were often designed based on assumptions about...
The promotion of Open Educational Resources (OER) as reusable tools for teachers and students is highly relevant but the nature of the income model requires specific strategies to maintain and update those resources. eCity is a city simulation game that supports a Problem Based Learning (PBL) pedagogical methodology in secondary schools and, at the same time, fosters the interest of students in following...
In order to have a competitive software industry, it is essential to adopt standards and reference models of software processes quality. However, despite the growing adoption of standards and models, the number of organizations that adopt these is a small portion of the total population of software organizations. This paper presents a tool to support the implementation of decision analysis and resolution...
The quality of Software Requirements Specifications (SRS) is important to gain a competitive advantage in the software industry. Although the use of agile methods has grown in recent years, empirical studies conducted in industry identified several problems related to SRS in the context of agile projects. The goal of this study is to investigate the phenomenon of the quality of SRS in Agile Software...
From the importance of the portfolio management process has gained by its inclusion in quality models and standards, the amount of organization looking to implement this process effectively and efficiently has increased. Thus, this research seeks to assist in the implementation of portfolio management in small and medium-sized enterprises, reducing the difficulties and excessive documentation required...
To increase work efficiency of administration transaction, we have designed the Information-based management system of CHS. The system includes four subsidiary systems: The administration management handing system, evaluating system, searching system and statistics analytical system. The administration management handling system includes the application system of the CHS station(center), the examine...
Shared knowledge allows virtual teams to collaborate more effectively. Shared knowledge in teams, hereafter called team knowledge, must be established and maintained. This is a key enabler for agile development in a distributed context. Hence, organizations may benefit from efforts to ensure sufficient levels of team knowledge. Such efforts may include different measures, such as project kick-offs,...
Agile software development approach aims at overcoming the limitations of plan-driven software development by allowing requirement changes during all phases of product development and providing agility to organization to respond to changing market needs. Software organizations have successfully implemented agile scrum in distributed software development. However, they also encountered many challenges...
This paper proposes an approach for adopting alternative workforce in an organization. Alternative workforce refers to a pool of workers who work for the organization as contract workers or as crowd workers for a set of specific tasks or duration. Adoption of crowd workers as an alternative workforce is gaining a lot of attention these days. However, it is still not widely adopted by big organizations...
This paper presents a preliminary communication maturity model named C2M. The C2M model aims to help organizations to identify the maturity of communication-related aspects and processes providing a tool to reveal what practices need to be improved. The model is composed of three maturity areas respectively organized into factors, goals, and practices. It has been preliminarily evaluated in two steps...
Professional software products and IT systems and services today are developed mostly by globally distributed teams, projects, and companies. Successfully orchestrating Global Software Engineering (GSE) has become the major success factor both for organizations and practitioners. Yet, more than a half of all distributed projects does not achieve the intended objectives and is canceled. This paper...
Agile software development approaches are becoming mainstream as organizations recognize that their delivery methodology has to be nimble and flexible to accommodate new technologies and evolving customer requirements. However, large organizations depend on a global software delivery model wherein software teams are geographically distributed, and such an environment seems unsuited for Agile to succeed...
This exploratory study investigates the ISO standards for quality management in perspective of software industry. The objective is to examine the applicability of ISO standards generic quality guidelines on software process, product and organization. The frameworks of ISO are studied and understood. Different comparisons are developed and refined to find out the correlation or contrast between ISO...
School level ICT policy plans are increasingly attracting and gaining more attention of researchers around the world to integrate ICT in education from grassroots level. In spite of this, the schools are unaware about how to develop their own school level ICT policy plans and build ICT policy capacity. In this research the emphasis is given on how school level ICT policy plans are being developed...
Deviations are known as unexpected situations that could arise during Software Process (SP) enactment. They are the difference between what is expected and what is carried out in real world. Experience has shown that the appearance of such situations is unescapable, especially within large software development projects. Moreover, their occurrence often leads to software development failure if they...
