Large software companies need a well-managed Software Architecture to support continuous and fast delivery of customer value both in the short and long term. However, this can be hindered if both evolution and maintenance of existing systems are hampered by Architectural Technical Debt. To avoid the accumulation and the costly consequences of ATD, it is critical that the responsibilities to minimize...
This manuscript investigates the effect of new investments on the locational marginal prices in the main interconnected system of Oman. The study includes modeling the existing transmission network and simulating system performance during peak period. In addition, the effect of renewable energy projects on locational marginal prices are simulated.
Live work training centres are unique places where electricians learn and develop their professional skills, but also a place where instructors use the latest andragogy approaches and techniques to transfer knowledge. Experts for live work education and training are rare and valuable human resource of every company. Being faced with retirement and other natural workmen fluctuation companies need to...
In this paper, we study the problem of set containment join. Given two collections R and S of records, the set containment join R./S retrieves all record pairs f(r, s)g 2 R S such that r s. This problem has been extensively studied in the literature and has many important applications in commercial and scientific fields. Recent research focuses on the in-memory set containment join algorithms, and...
We propose a probabilistic approach to the problem of schema mapping. Our approach is declarative, scalable, and extensible. It builds upon recent results in both schema mapping and probabilistic reasoning and contributes novel techniques in both fields. We introduce the problem of mapping selection, that is, choosing the best mapping from a space of potential mappings, given both metadata constraints...
Voltage sag has become one of the major power quality concerns in recent years. To accurately evaluate the voltage sag, it is necessary to obtain its sag type. In this paper, a more generalized voltage sag classification method with consideration of phase shift is proposed compared to the traditional classification method. This new method can be used in the accurate discrimination of sag types. Moreover,...
Handwriting analysis is an approach to modeling human activities are to judge the human as a device with a large number of internal mental states which they have. The research builds on the observation that although human behaviors such as handwriting, speech, hand gestures and even American Sign Language. Handwriting work as an indicator, which indicates personality and behavior of humans, for example,...
This paper demonstrates a new cooperative bus location system with BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) devices and smartphones. Our idea has extended common participatory sensing systems to realize more practical sensing systems because common participatory sensing mechanisms require a participants' operation to measure some values. Our proposed system consists of a BLE devices on a bus, smartphone applications...
Interactions between industry and academia are seen as one of the key elements of the quality of higher education and a key element of the system of innovation of the nations. However, there is a widely noted gap between industry needs and the education that new engineers receive. This manuscript presents an open co-working space implemented by the Universidad de Ingenieria y Tecnologia equipped with...
This study investigates students' industrial training experience and explores the ways to possibly enhance students' training experience. The findings show that providing more related information to students will definitely help them in gaining better training experience.
We present the methodology applied at the Universidad de Ingenieria y Tecnologia, Lima, Peru, to develop research skills in undergraduate students starting at their first semester. The methodology includes training students since the first year to research in advanced topics. This methodology has been applied since 2012 and now there are two students in a MS program in the USA but before finishing...
We explore the nature of industry mission statements, and how a comprehensive and directed mission statement could lead to securing loyal consumers and successful industry performance. Through collecting and analyzing data on industry mission statements, we organize keywords extracted from the analysis, and further suggest methods in which companies can expand on through a clearly targeted mission...
An educational institution does not only produce graduates but also concrete results as masterpieces. The masterpieces can be solution products or services to be used by communities or industries in improving people's quality of life. Due to lack of media that allows it to be accessed, so that the masterpieces are not fully known and able to be used by public. This research aims to produce a gallery...

The purpose of this study is to investigate the best practices in the transdisciplinary field of knowledge management system implementation and measurement of IT Complain in a telecommunication company (PT Telkomsel). This paper examines three variables of Knowledge Management (People, Process and Technology) and IT Complain Variable. This research used two methods such as a qualitative and quantitative...
One of factors to determine success in educational is the ability of the lecturer to deliver teaching material and assess students according to their personalities. This becomes a problem if the lecturer does not have ability to assess students' personalities. Therefore, the issue mentioned above makes this causes the lecturers to generalize teaching methods for all students. Another issue occurs...
the goal of implementation for ERP systems are improving performance business process and achieve work more efficiency and productivity. The ERP systems as basic to consider evaluating performance achievement as a tool for analyzing, evaluating and support decision making. In the reality, the managers have problems using ERP systems to making decisions and ultimately improve the synchronization of...
Information technology project failure is the problem which quite hard to avoid. The main problems of IT project failure are scope, time, and cost. These three contains is affecting to each other. Time and cost are the impact of the changing in scope. About 50% – 80% of IT Projects are defined as failure project which is mostly caused by over time and over cost. In client side, the problems come from...
