The identification and management of users’ requirements have been a persistent challenge confronting software development projects for decades. Complicating this challenge, research on requirements engineering processes has failed to keep pace with significant changes in the lived practice of software development. In this paper, we consider requirements-oriented processes as a socio-technical ...

E-commerce based companies rely on the effective use of the information systems used to support their processes. Accordingly, managers place a great emphasis on the success of projects to introduce such systems. However, research increasingly suggests that project success may not be as objective as one would assume or hope. Quite contrary, as our work will show, project success is often constru...

This paper discusses the comparison between Traditional approaches and Object-Oriented approach. Traditional approach has a lot of models that deal with different types of projects such as waterfall, spiral, iterative and v-shaped, but all of them and other lack flexibility to deal with other kinds of projects like Object-Oriented. Object–oriented Software Engineering (OOSE) is an object modeli...

Study of the cell will never be complete unless its dynamic behavior is understood. The complex behavior of the cell cannot be determined or predicted unless a computer model of the cell is constructed and computer simulation is undertaken. Rapid accumulation of biological data from genome, proteome, transcriptome and metabolome projects can bring us to the point where it is no longer purely sp...

As they design, plan, and execute AEC projects, engineers today construct task-specific geometric views based on information contained in other engineers’ geometric views. Traditionally, engineers have constructed these views manually, using pencils and more recently CAD. Manually constructing views is often difficult, time-consuming, and error-prone. Newer approaches develop central project mo...

To perform specific tasks, Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) professionals construct task-specific engineering views from information in other engineering views. Each view contains project information that is structured for an engineer’s specific task; engineers are responsible for the information in their respective views. This paper presents industry test cases illustrating th...

The outcome of improvement programmes such as Lean Manufacturing or Six Sigma is only partially determined by the success or failure of its individual projects. Also of significance is how well the programme and its projects are projects on their individual merits, rather than with proper reference to their contribution to business strategy. In this manner, it is therefore possible to build por...

In this study we attempt to answer two questions: Is there a natural way to classify projects and what are the specific factors that influence the success of various kinds of projects? Perhaps one of the major barriers to understanding the reasons behind the success of a project has been the lack of specificity of constructs applied in project management studies. Many studies of project success...

Open Source Software (OSS) has provided a successful model for community-based collaborative development of software. The success of OSS has triggered interests in applying similar approaches to other areas besides software development, such as open courseware development and open content projects. However, there are nearly no projects on building highly collaborative Open Content Community (OC...


 New AI language modelers are increasingly capable of taking on multiple editing roles, previously thought to demand humans. Where the limits? What does further automation scholarly editor’s function suggest? Will Construct Editors (possible) future render today’s editors redundant? A experiment along these lines suggests that tools becoming agents — a tighter collaboration rather than re...
