The innovations in the field of specialized navigation systems have become prominent research topics. As an applied science for people with special needs, aids visually impaired are a key sociotechnique that helps users to independently navigate and access needed resources indoors outdoors. This paper adopts informetric analysis method assess current explore trends based on bibliographic record...

In 2018, a university-wide brand update prompted the University of Idaho Library to reexamine their website development practices and move toward static web approach that leverages librarian skillsets provides library greater control over its systems data. This case study describes methodological reasons behind decision use site generator Jekyll Content Management System (CMS) practical steps t...

In last decade, various agile methods have been introduced and used by software industry. It has been observed that many practitioners are using hybrid of agile methods and traditional methods. The knowledge of agile software development process about the theoretical grounds, applicability in large development settings and connections to establish software engineering disciplines remain mostly ...

We present the Agile REconstruction Method (AREM) for γ-ray (30 MeV – 50 GeV) direction reconstruction applicable to high-resolution Silicon Tracker detectors in space. It can be used in a “fast mode”, independently of Kalman filters techniques, or in an “optimized mode”, including Kalman filter algorithms for track identification. AREM correctly addresses three points of the analysis which bec...

Agile software development has been increasingly used to satisfy the need to respond to fast moving market demand and gain market share. Scrum, which is a project management framework, dominates as the most popular agile method. In the literature, there are a number of solutions to customize and assess Scrum-based agile methods, but they are limited to focus only on process factors, assume a pr...

The essence of stability in software development is the ability to produce quality software with infrastructure that will meet long-term business goals. The essence of rapid and agile development is the ability to deliver capabilities quickly based on customer priorities. Stability often requires cross-functional analysis and infrastructure support that will build foundational technology for th...

In this position paper we present S-MOVE (Smart and Social Move), a social innovation project funded by MIUR (Italian Ministry of Education, Research and University). SMOVE is based on a new conception of urban community, that allows citizens to share data and decisions in a smart and innovative way. In order to implement this new vision of urban mobility, called smart mobility, a deep integrat...

Customer collaboration is vital to Agile projects. Through a Grounded Theory study of New Zealand and Indian Agile teams we discovered that lack of customer involvement was causing problems in gathering and clarifying requirements, loss of productivity, and business loss. “Agile Undercover” allows development teams to practice Agile despite insufficient or ineffective customer involvement. We p...

Agile Methods are creating a buzz in the software development community, drawing their fair share of advocates and opponents. While some people consider agile methods the best thing that has happened to software development in recent years, other people view them as a backlash to software engineering and compare them to hacking. The aim of this chapter is to introduce the reader to agile method...
