HV Process Model of Software Development

Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is one of the major ingredients for the development of efficient software systems within a time frame and low-cost involvement. From the literature, it is evident that there are various kinds of process models that are used by the software industries for the development of small, medium and long-term software projects, but many of them do not cover risk management. It is quite obvious that the improper selection of the software development process model leads to failure of the software products as it is time bound activity. In the present work, a new software development process model is proposed which covers the risks at any stage of the development of the software product. The model is named a Hemant-Vipin (HV) process model and may be helpful for the software industries for development of the efficient software products and timely delivery at the end of the client. The efficiency of the HV process model is observed by considering various kinds of factors like requirement clarity, user feedback, change agility, predictability, risk identification, practical implementation, customer satisfaction, incremental development, use of ready-made components, quick design, resource organization and many more and found through a case study that the presented approach covers many of parameters in comparison of the existing process models. .

Optimizing Bidders Selection of Multi-Round Procurement Problem in Software Project Management Using Parallel Max-Min Ant System Algorithm

This paper presents a Game-theoretic optimization via Parallel Min-Max Ant System(PMMAS)algorithm is used in practice to determine the Nash equilibrium value to resolve the confusion in choosing appropriate bidders of multi-round procurement problem in software project management.To this end,we introduce an approach that proposes:(i)A Game-theoretic model of multiround procurement problem(ii)A Nash equilibrium strategy corresponds to multi-round strategy bid(iii)An application of PSO for the determination of global Nash equilibrium.The balance point in Nash Equilibrium can help to maintain a sustainable structure not only in terms of project management but also in terms of future cooperation.As an alternative of procuring entities subjectively,a methodology to support decision making has been studied using Nash equilibrium to create a balance point on benefit in procurement where buyers and suppliers need multiple rounds of bidding.Our goal focus on the balance point in Nash Equilibrium to optimizing bidder selection in multi-round procurement which is the most beneficial for both investors and selected tenderers.Our PMMAS algorithm is implemented based on MPI(message passing interface)to find the approximate optimal solution for the question of how to choose bidders and ensure a path for a win-win relationship of all participants in the procurement process.We also evaluate the speedup ratio and parallel efficiency between our algorithm and other proposed algorithms.As the experiment results,the high feasibility and effectiveness of the PMMAS algorithm are verified.

Softw are Maintainability Evaluation Based on Software Configuration Management Data

As one of the most important attributes of software quality, software maintainability has been widely recognized.However,the existing maintainability evaluation methods are mostly based on subjectively judgment. Thus it is inapplicable or unbelievable. To evaluate software maintainability objectively,the software configuration management( SCM) data are collected to establish a maintainability model. Based on the hidden Markov chain( HMC), a three-state maintainability estimation model is constructed. To validate the feasibility of the model,a real software example of software maintenance activity is given and the result from the example shows the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Software Development for the Management of CAD Drawings

A software for the management of computer aided design（CAD） drawings was developed. It can be used to classify and register information including geometric features of the drawings, and to search appropriate reference drawings matching the given conditions of a new design. The thumbnails of the drawings can be displayed in an order of preference and can be used to zoom and access the PDF file or CAD data of a selected drawing. The thumbnails and the data structure are two key elements of the software.

Function of Management Consultation in Implementation of ERP Project

ERP(enterprise resource planning) is a huge and com pl ex system engineering which costs a great lot of fund and manpower. It is a refo rm in the enterprise management mode, management idea and management method whi ch needs mass fund import, with long period, full of risk, hard to perform and can’t show its effects at once. The essence of the enterprise performing in ERP system is to run a "management engineering", which involves integration of opera tion process. The integration will touch business culture, enterprise system,m eans of operation and the department’s regulatioins amongst the operation conten ts, rights and responsibilities. Totally, the ERP system is the rebuilding of ma ngagement idea, method and means, which needs the common acquaintance from the t op management to the whole stuff.Meantime, it requires a perfect tactic to perfo rm an ERP system. We must confirm a cut-in spot as the right space to start bas ed on the enterprise requirement and the application environment. And to choose a right space decides that the application of ERP system is successful or not. S o, we must make it clear to build which subsystem first, to take the right seque nce for performing all kinds of function modules and the final integrated functi ons . All this prepared work for the implement of ERP system and the management, the recombination and optimization of enterprise management operation flow, ite m management and harmonization, ERP educational training and so on can not be pe rformed well without management consultancy. The effective management consultan cy can lead then implement of ERP system to shorten the executive cycle, to quik en the realization of effect and to harmonize the relationship to the client ent erprises so that to ensure the successful perform of ERP.

Dietary counseling based on artificial intelligence for patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease

BACKGROUND About 25%of the general population in Japan are reported to have nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD).NAFLD and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis carry a risk of progressing further to hepatocellular carcinoma.The primary treatment for NAFLD is dietary therapy.Dietary counseling plays an essential role in dietary therapy.Although artificial intelligence(AI)-based nutrition management software applications have been developed and put into practical use in recent years,the majority focus on weight loss or muscle strengthening,and no software has been developed for patient use in clinical practice.AIM To examine whether effective dietary counseling is possible using AI-based nutrition management software.METHODS NAFLD patients who had been assessed using an AI-based nutrition management software application(Calomeal)that automatically analyzed images of meals photographed by patients and agreed to receive dietary counseling were given dietary counseling.Blood biochemistry tests were performed before(baseline)and 6 mo after(6M follow-up)dietary counseling.After the dietary counseling,the patients were asked to complete a questionnaire survey.RESULTS A total of 29 patients diagnosed with NAFLD between August 2020 and March 2022 were included.There were significant decreases in liver enzyme and triglyceride levels at the 6M follow-up compared to baseline.The food analysis capability of the AI used by Calomeal in this study was 75.1%.Patient satisfaction with the AIbased dietary counselling was high.CONCLUSION AI-based nutrition management appeared to raise awareness of dietary habits among NAFLD patients.However,it did not directly alleviate the burden of registered dietitians,and improvements are much anticipated.

Software Project Management Approaches for Global Software Development： A Systematic Mapping Study

Global Software Development （GSD） is a well established field of software engineering with the benefits of a global environment. Software Project Management （SPM） plays a key role in the success of GSD. As a result, the need has arisen to study and evaluate the downsides of SPM for GSD, to thereby pave the way for the development of new methods, techniques, and tools with which to tackle them. This paper aims to identify and classify research on SPM approaches for GSD that are available in the literature, to identify their current weaknesses and strengths, and to analyze their applications in industry. We performed a Systematic Mapping Study （SMS） based on six classification criteria. Eighty-four papers were selected and analyzed. The results indicate that interest in SPM for GSD has been increasing since 2006. As a class of approaches, the most frequently reported methods （40%） are those used for coordination, planning, and monitoring, along with estimation techniques that can be used to better match a distributed project. SPM for GSD requires further investigation by researchers and practitioners, particularly with respect to cost and time estimations. These findings will help overcome the challenges that must to be considered in future SPM research for GSD, especially regarding collaboration and time-zone differences.

How to manage a task-oriented virtual assistant software project:an experience report

Task-oriented virtual assistants are software systems that provide users with a natural language interface to complete domain-specific tasks.With the recent technological advances in natural language processing and machine learning,an increasing number of task-oriented virtual assistants have been developed.However,due to the well-known complexity and difficulties of the natural language understanding problem,it is challenging to manage a task-oriented virtual assistant software project.Meanwhile,the management and experience related to the development of virtual assistants are hardly studied or shared in the research community or industry,to the best of our knowledge.To bridge this knowledge gap,in this paper,we share our experience and the lessons that we have learned at managing a task-oriented virtual assistant software project at Microsoft.We believe that our practices and the lessons learned can provide a useful reference for other researchers and practitioners who aim to develop a virtual assistant system.Finally,we have developed a requirement management tool,named SpecSpace,which can facilitate the management of virtual assistant projects.

Web Services-Based Test Report Generation

Tests involving a large number of test cases and test scenarios are always time- and effort- intensive, and use ad hoc approaches. Test management is needed to control the complexity and the qual- ity of the testing of large software systems. The reporting mechanism is critical for monitoring the testing progress, analyzing test results, and evaluating the test effectiveness for a disciplined testing process throughout the testing lifecycle. This paper presents an XML-based report generation method for large sys- tem testing. The service-oriented architecture enables flexible test report generation, presentation, and ex- change to facilitate collaboration in a distributed environment. The results show that proper reporting can ef- fectively improve the visibility of the testing process and that this web-based approach is critical to enhance communication among multiple testing groups.
