In software development application lifecycle management (ALM) systems are used to support the development process. As these products are tailored for best fitting the applied programs and their actual usage is diverse. Often, this means that products of different vendors are applied, which reduce the reachability between different artefacts and the overall consistency of the system. In this paper...
The information technology and the rapid dissemination of knowledge has changed the climate of higher education dramatically. The presence of specially governed technology zones and small and medium enterprises operating in those regions are new actors influencing the teaching models of higher education institutions. This paper discusses how the blending of these can redefine an industry oriented...

The topic of traditional social media such as Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn, is for all common and talked over. We all know them and we use them every day. They include all digital systems that enable people to mutually connect and communicate together. But the issue of corporate social networks such as Skype for Business, Yammer or Tibbr is not so often and in detail communicated. They allow employees...
Curricula of the Universities and especially of the Universities of Applied Sciences should be, in the best case, developed in such way, that graduates' knowledge should reflect contemporary requirements of the industry, without to losing the assertion of universality as the central perspective of the higher education. This awareness is often identified, but in the real case, the organization of the...
The purpose of this study is to conduct an analysis on practicing DevOps in software development companies in Sri Lanka. DevOps is extended from agile with a mix of patterns intended to improve collaboration between development and operations. The main objective of this research is to identify whether there is a relationship between quality, responsiveness to business needs and agility with implementation...
We describe a teaching experiment conducted in a hands-on antenna course in Aalto University. The course was specifically designed to fulfill the higher level (senior master's and post-graduate) educational objectives and it was implemented by applying the principles of the “progressive inquiry” model. The model was introduced and applied in two practical assignments, giving special emphasis on skills...
This paper presents MONO, a tool to support interdisciplinary and geographically dispersed teams. MONO supports the definition, execution, and monitoring of collaborative processes to allow development engineers to interact with musicians, designers, and producers, to create digital contents such as video games or animated short films. MONO supports geographically distributed teams, involved in digital...
Even though agile actively seeks collaboration from all its stakeholders, most agile projects do not extend themselves toward the operations people. To solve this problem, DevOps is introduced. DevOps is a conceptual framework for reintegrating development and operations of Information Systems, which is able to break the wall between developers and operations professionals. DevOps improves the work...
This research paper analyses the importance of digital transformation within public organisations and its impact on related human resource factors like human resource development, talent and performance management. Since these three dependent variables affect the human resource process in today's organisations, it is seen that the independent variable—digital transformation has a positive effect on...
Recommender Systems (RSs) are playing an important role in improving user satisfaction as they can recommend items which might be highly interested to users. In recent years, it has been observed that social relations including factors such as trust and distrust among users are very useful in improving recommendation accuracy. However, traditional recommendation methods like Collaborative Filtering...
Recommender systems assist users in the daunting task of sifting through large amounts of data in order to select relevant information or items. Unfortunately, such systems may be subject to attack by malicious users who want to manipulate the system's recommendations to suit their needs: to promote their own (or demote a competitor's) product/service, or to cause disruption in the recommender system...
Most personal computers are underutilized in most time. Collaborative cloud computing (CCC) is an emerging paradigm, which can organize and integrate these idle computing or storage resources scattered around the world. In this paradigm, due to individual capacity limitation, multiple participants (nodes) need to cooperate with each other to complete complicated tasks. Considering the heterogeneities...
This research aims to address supply chain collaboration with a perspective of broader three-dimensional relationship, not a linear two-dimensional relationship discussed broadly in previous research. Case study was adopted for this research, and data collection was mainly conducted via interview. The research results highlighted that supply chain collaborations are common practice across all levels...
The purpose of this study is to investigate the relations among organizational learning, supply chain collaboration and service innovation performance. We use Structure Equation Model and Amos 20.0 to test the influence among constructs. Through an empirical survey of 243 samples in South China, the results show that: (1) Different dimensions of organizational learning have different effects on different...
This paper adds to our understanding of how ICT helps to improve SC performance. We investigate both indirect and direct effects of ICT and find based on data from Chinese manufacturers that inter-organizational ICT has a positive effect via SCM-practices if the uncertainty is high. We do not find support for that relationship if uncertainty is low. No support is found for an direct effect of inter-organizational...
At present, China's express market demands and supply capacity of the express service providers is increasingly prominent. In the view of the problems such as scattered, small, bad in the express industry in China, the collaborative mode of service network based on horizontal resource integration is proposed. Through the cooperative operation of the express enterprise service network, it is not only...
Though there are many less-than-truckload (LTL) companies, the LTL industry is still in a decentralized structure and the market is dispersive. Under the influence of economic recession and regional restriction in self-development, LTL companies urgently form a collaborative logistics network that is based on each's existed facilities and networks to make up their own deficiencies, share resources,...
