This paper proposes an ontology to automatic classification of learning materials to the Software Engineering knowledge domain. The Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK) was used to define the hierarchical structure of the knowledge area. The Rational Unified Process (RUP) was used to add the axioms to represent the relationships between concepts and to enable the reasoning to SWEBOK ...

This paper presents the results of a study to determine if and how the use case model (UCM) could be used by strategists in small businesses. The reason for wanting to use the UCM in this way is to get problem domain experts, that is top management, more involved in systems development by creating a requirements model which can be used by systems developers as a starting point for analysis. The...

Irfan Jaya's shop is a that sells Papuan-patterned clothes, bags, and sweaters since 2011. However, as the shop's business grew, there were several problems experienced in its processes, such information store promotion systems which only limited to banners. Another problem faced by owner collection of goods sales history relatively long because they are still doing manual recording on book. Ba...

The 1997 OPEN process metamodel was the first fully documented software engineering process architecture for object-oriented projects, predating the Catalysis method, Select Perspective and the still emerging Rational Unified Process by a number of years. The OPEN process metamodel is based on a three-tier architecture, in which process Activities are broken down into a number of distinct Tasks...

This paper describes a product line use case modeling approach tailored towards organizations developing and maintaining extremely long lived software intensive systems. We refer to the approach as the PLUSS approach, Product Line Use case modeling for Systems and Software engineering. An industrial case study is presented where PLUSS is applied and evaluated in the target domain. Based on the ...

Models from methods like Contextual Design (CD) are a sound basis for requirements engineering. But current software engineering processes are not prepared to use such models. Together with tight schedule and budget project teams settle for the minimal work needed, which is writing use cases in case of the Rational Unified Process (RUP). HCI practitioners more and more need HCI methods effectiv...

Altought widely used and recognized in the scientific community, the i* framework has, until now, failed to impose itself into enterprise practices. There are many ways that can be followed to favor industry-adoption. Among them, we believe that an integration into the (Rational) Unified Process, which already includes business modeling as a preliminary step in software development and furnishe...

However, it isn’t so clear whether the fundamental rules of software development have changed. I worked as a software process consultant to two Internet startups during the boom— let’s call them ...

We show that the positive Wiener–Hopf factor of a Lévy process with positive jumps having a rational Fourier transform is a rational function itself, expressed in terms of the parameters of the jump distribution and the roots of an associated equation. Based on this, we give the closed form of the ruin probability for a Lévy process, with completely arbitrary negatively distributed jumps, and f...

Although consequences of sharing personal information can be negative and severe (e.g., identity theft), individuals still engage in extensive self-disclosures on social networks. One commonly applied explanatory approach is the privacy calculus. Following this, conceptualized as rational choices resulting from a weighing risks benefits. However, this view misses additional impulsive nature dec...
