Requirements elicitation (RE) is the most critical phase in requirement engineering. It is the moment in which analysts elicit, understand and validate the requirements of a system from stakeholders. RE process is resource-intensive and it is therefore accomplished with the support of predetermined techniques. The advancement of technology has introduced many RE techniques and thus analysts are...

Software development is a complex process that necessitates interaction between diverse individuals playing differentiated roles.

Business Process Models use symbolic notations to represent business processes. Influenced by system engineering and mathematics, the application of these notations involves technical processes designed by engineers, undertaken by technically trained analysts for the use of largely technical people. However, the majority of business process stakeholders are non-technically inclined with a busin...

This essay proposes a new theoretical framework for analyzing the rise of China and its impact on Asian security order. While the rise of China is reshaping Asia’s military balance, the region has also witnessed equally important and longer-term changes, especially economic interdependence, multilateral institutions and domestic politics. The implications of these changes are not fully accounte...

Using the unique data of analysts' site visits to Chinese listed companies, we examine whether and how analysts' site visits help improve their forecast performance. We find that the forecast accuracy of analysts improves after they visit the target firms and this improvement still holds after controlling for the concurrent change in the forecast accuracy of analysts who do not conduct site vis...

Systems analysis has been practiced by expert systems analysts or IT people in the third person perspective or objective one. We question this style of systems analysis and investigate into what it should be and who should practice it in an unpredictable, turbulent environment.

It also compares the analysts’ consensus of earnings per share, sales, rating, and price target zone to identify the deg...

The purposes of this study were to describe an analytical technique for determining selected 2-dimensional geometric characteristics of a knee joint using lateral knee radiographs and to examine the inter- and intra-analyst reliability of this technique. Five lateral knee radiographs of different knee flexion angles (25-85 degrees at intervals of 15 degrees ) were obtained from five subjects. T...
