These guidelines serve as best practices or recommendations that help reduce application exposure to vulnerabilities, and provide hints about the application's adherence...
We had started our journey as an Offshore Supplier with a clear goal to become the "Software Engineering Partner of choice" for the Siemens R&D organization. Now, while we work as a partner of choice, our sustainability in this role, has largely depended on our ability to demonstrate the right set of behaviors as a partner organization, retain our key people and enable them to grow...
Success of research, development and innovation depends strongly on the work outcome of R&D employees, complementing the various technological aspects. Optimal organisation and regulation of the work of R&D employees is therefore a crucial element in the transformation of societies into increasingly knowledge intensive ones. There are various statutory and company level regulations of working...
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...
This experience report outlines how a participatory Sexism Response Workshop helped a diverse set of students in a large class have wide-ranging and open conversations about sexism. We ran the Sexism Response Workshop for a class of 92 undergraduate students, splitting the students into two groups to make the workshop manageable. The workshop was run by a theater facilitator and was based on Augusto...
Zambia Electricity Supply Corporation (ZESCO), which normally produces around 1950MW of power from its hydro power stations based mainly along the Zambezi and Kafue rivers, is the main power supplier in Zambia. This year the company has failed to generate enough power to meet the Zambian demand because of poor rainfall in the 2014/2015 rain season. It currently produces around 1200 MW.
Efficient market hypothesis states that the current share prices reflect all relevant information about the underlying company. According to this widely accepted hypothesis, it is impossible for investors to consistently outperform the indices in the long run. Furthermore, the Random Walk Hypothesis, which is consistent with the Efficient Market Hypothesis, states that stock prices evolve in a random...
TETRACOM is an ongoing EU FP7 Coordination Action with the ambition to boost small to medium scale academia-to-industry technology transfer in all domains of computing systems. The project primarily operates via competitive open calls for individual Technology Transfer Projects (TTPs). Each TTP performs a well-defined bilateral transfer activity between one European academic partner and one industry...
Software testing is designed in various company hierarchy, such as end product/service providers and subcontractors. An end product/service providers generally has a severe responsibility for their software quality, while a subcontractor has a limited responsibility. There can be a hypothesis that there is differences in software quality between service providers and subcontractors. To examine the...
Practitioners have found exploratory testing (ET) to be cost effective in detecting defects. The team exploratory testing (TET) approach scales exploratory testing to team level. This paper reports the effectiveness of (TET), and the experiences of the participants of TET sessions. The research was carried at F-Secure Corporation, where two projects were investigated. The results show that the TET...
Workshop is one of the most important practical training processes in current colleges design education activities. At present, there are mainly two design workshop models for colleges: one is held by some colleges on the occasion of the academic meeting opportunity, and the other one is held by creative industrial parks or creative corporations. However, neither of them could be conducted in a normalized...
MPLS(Multi Protocol Label Switching) is an emerging technology [1] which has started attracting all the service provider networks with its exceptional and admirable features. VPN(Virtual Private Network) is one of its most popular feature which carries traffic securely and privately from customer's one end to another through the service provider's network. However, in this case the CE(Customer Edge)...
Multiprotocol Label Switching(MPLS) lends efficiency to very large networks, and is the most used transport technology for service provider networks to support multiple customers. Customers connected to a service provider's network demand for secure, reliable, private and ultra fast connections over the globe. This paper describes designing of MPLS VPN(Virtual Private Network) along with dedicated...
Enterprise Resource Planning [ERP] is a widely used system across all organizations regardless the size. The need for making rapid decision based on the analysis of the complex data lead to the use of ERP systems. In the beginning ERP systems were limited to large organizations. Later this trend has changed with the advent of open source ERP systems. With its added advantage, it started to take over...

Wearable sensor technologies combined with mobile phone applications offer an interesting way to collect and monitor personal activity data for personal use, in addition to providing information for wellness and health care professionals. In this paper we present our...
Software Engineering is a primary subject in many computer science departments of universities worldwide. Its purpose is to help students understand and apply both disciplined and systematic methods to software development. Due to the ubiquity and visibility of software in the modern world, the study, education and research into software engineering and its practice have retained a high level of interest...
Provision of sufficient network capacity for the wireless data protocol is presently the biggest challenge in telecom industry; Discussions are underway to take advantage of hundreds of megahertz in an unlicensed spectrum. In late 2013, telecom companies were presented a proposal by the Third Generation Partnership Project to retool and deploy Long Term Evolution technologies in unlicensed bands....
