This paper proposes to apply Chance Discovery methods to software requirements elicitation. The author’s previous studies indicated that requirements definition work of custom-made type application software had been running through the whole software development process. This trend has been seen among small-scale software development projects, especially for web application system and client/se...

In this paper we present the EcoBioCap project and the modelling needs of this project in terms of argumentation based preference aggregation. The aim of the paper is to well describe the problem encountered in this context and to propose a preference logic in line with the expressivity needed by the application. We then show how to embed this logic within the ASPIC+ system. Finally, we show ho...

This paper presents some results of an ongoing research project on the interactions between Wikipedia and academia. The first part of the project analyses the perception and practices of academic faculty about Wikipedia. It also includes a study on 52 teaching experiences at universities around the world where lecturers have used Wikipedia for designing assignments involving students to edit th...

Risk Assessment Tool (RAT) is an expert system that assesses, monitors, and gives preliminary treatments automatically based on the project plan. In this paper, a review was taken out for the current project time management risk assessment tools for SME software development projects, analyze risk assessment parameters, conditions, scenarios, and finally propose risk assessment tool (RAT) model ...

Over the past decades, geospatial information technology has reached a significant level of maturity and is widely implemented in industry as well as public agencies. Lately, we have witnessed the rise of free and open source software in this area, flanked by open standards and the open data movement. This special issue of Transactions in GIS includes five research articles selected from the su...

We report an analysis of how interdisciplinary project bringing together biologists, physicists and engineers worked in practice. The authorship team are the Principle Investigator who led project, a social scientist studied as it was conducted by interviewing participants observing argue is accurate productive to think Expert-Network, which means managed set relationships between disciplinary ...

A cornerstone of software project management is effort estimation, the process by which effort is forecasted and used as basis to predict costs and allocate resources effectively, so enabling projects to be delivered on time and within budget. Effort estimation is a very complex domain where the relationship between factors is non-deterministic and has an inherently uncertain nature, and where ...

Since construction is considered as one of the main sources of environmental pollution in the world, the level of knowledge and awareness of project participants, especially project managers, regarding the construction impacts on the environment are required to be enhanced. The aim of this paper is to develop a prototype of a Sustainable-Construction Planning System (SCPS) in order to mitigate ...

Project selection problem has been largely discovered in extant literature, and attracted considerable attentions of academics and purchasing managers. Practical project selection problem is typically evolved of multi-criteria and a committee of experts. Given the exact values of the input data, certain expert may generate uncertain evaluation results on a project, because the exact weights ass...
