Typical requirements of SaaS applications target scalability, elasticity, and cost-efficiency. However, these quality properties lack an engineering method for software architects, allowing them to precisely and efficiently analyze these properties already at early design-time. To tackle this lack, we propose the architectural template (AT) method, an efficient design-time engineering method fo...

The increasing global demand for food and nutrition security has raised the need to automate processes in modern farming. As such, a promising way those is by using smart agriculture applications (SAAs). Different studies literature classify these based on agricultural themes, domains, farming scenarios. However, this classification not sufficient researchers industry gain deeper insights softw...

ERP systems are now offered on the cloud under Software as a Service (SaaS) model. For small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), this is considered the best opportunity to take advantage of the capabilities of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system without the investment and management costs associated with the on-premise model. This study investigates the factors influencing the adoptio...

Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) is a form of cloud computing that relieves the user from the concern of hardware, software installation and management. It is an emerging business model that delivers software applications to the users through Web-based technology. Software vendors have varying requirements and SaaS applications most typically support such requirements. The various applications used...

Changes in operating environment may result in the performance degradation to a SaaS software. Analyzing running log is an efficient method to locate this problem. However, as a long-running software, SaaS may generate huge log data which is difficult to analyze, and it lacks a systematic approach to implement management of the running log. These all threaten the timeliness of SaaS performance ...

Researchers have been focusing increasingly on preparing innovative packaging films made from renewable and biodegradable materials in recent years. This research set out to fabricate analyze pH-sensitive edible based salep mucilage combined with anthocyanin saffron (Crocus sativus L.) (SAAs). A casting technique was developed varying concentrations of SAAs (0, 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10%v/v) films. The s...

Anxiety in situations where one's overall appearance (including body shape) may be negatively evaluated is hypothesized to play a central role in Eating Disorders (EDs) and in their co-occurrence with Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD). Three studies were conducted among community (N = 1995) and clinical (N = 703) ED samples of 11- to 18-year-old Italian girls and boys to (a) evaluate the psychometr...

Many software organizations are currently transitioning from an on-premises deployment model to the Software as a Service (SaaS) model. If a company restricts changes only in the business or technical perspective, the transition leads to higher costs, poor adoption of the SaaS model, and in the worst case, the company can lose its business. Much literature focuses on changes within one domain a...
