Project success factors consist of a variety of soft skills and competencies in addition to technical skills. These skills and competencies can be broadly categorized into business, personal, interpersonal and management competencies. This paper reports the results of a survey conducted to highlight strengths and weaknesses of personal and interpersonal competencies of software project managers. Four attributes of personal and seven attributes of interpersonal skills have been analyzed. Top and bottom seven skills have been reported. The competencies related to people and communications management have emerged as weak areas and recommendations have been made to improve upon the weaknesses. Other important aspects discussed are overcoming shortcomings in soft skills by further training and incorporation of formal courses in project management education.

Colon cancer heavily changes the composition of human genes (expressions). The deviation in the chemical composition of genes can be exploited to automatically diagnose colon cancer. The major challenge in the analysis of human gene based datasets is their large dimensionality. Therefore, efficient techniques are needed to select discerning genes. In this research article, we propose a novel classification technique that exploits the variations in gene expressions for classifying colon gene samples into normal and malignant classes, and quite intelligently tackles the larger dimensionality of gene based datasets. Previously individual feature selection techniques have been used for selection of discerning gene expressions, however, their performance is limited. In this research study, we propose a feed forward gene selection technique, wherein, two feature selection techniques are used one after the other. The genes selected by the first technique are fed as input to the second feature selection technique that selects genes from the given gene subset. The selected genes are then classified by using linear kernel of support vector machines (SVM). The feed forward approach of gene selection has shown improved performance. The proposed technique has been tested on three standard colon cancer datasets, and improved performance has been observed. It is observed that feed forward method of gene selection substantially reduces the size of gene based datasets, thereby reducing the computational time to a great extent. Performance of the proposed technique has also been compared with existing techniques of colon cancer diagnosis, and improved performance has been observed. Therefore, we hope that the proposed technique can be effectively used for diagnosis of colon cancer.

Requirement engineering (RE) plays an important role in the success or failure of product and is recognized as the most critical factor in the entire software development process. Due to the fact that RE knowledge is highly dependent on human which may result in inconsistencies, terminology conflicts and lack of understanding of requirement knowledge faced in the implementation of information based applications. To address these issues we have proposed the knowledge management model for the support of RE activities. This knowledge model assists the requirement engineers and other stakeholders to share and understand the domain and instance level knowledge which results in strengthening the RE activities through continuous requirement refinement by better knowledge management model.

A high speed, low-cost transmitter for visible light communication has been developed. The PCB design has been optimized for high frequency operation using surface-mounted devices. A two-stage on-chip amplifier has been used to amplify the square-wave pulses up to 50 MHz fundamental frequency, which is limited by the measurement setup. The frequency components up to eleventh harmonic have been observed in the amplified signal. The transmitter driver has been used to operate a high-brightness LED and the transmission up to 25 MHz-50 Mbps (using NRZ) has been attained.

Multimodal biometric authentication systems offer immunity to the threats imposed by unimodal biometric systems. However, this comes at significantly higher development and adaptation costs. In this paper we introduce an approach that allows automatic configuration and deployment of heterogeneous biometric systems for different business processes and related environments. The need for development and integration of scenario-specific compatible systems is replaced by repetitive scenario-specific configuration and deployment of multimodal biometric systems. We also present tools for configuration and deployment, which respectively configure and deploy multimodal biometric systems comprising of heterogeneous open source and/or commercial biometric systems required for fulfillment of domain specific authentication needs. In comparison to the prevalent practices, our approach reduces the effort required for developing and deploying reliable biometric authentication systems.

Pulsed wave radars are very promising due to their numerous attractive features over traditional continuous wave radars. This paper presents the range and doppler estimation of moving targets using pulsed doppler radars. Various techniques have been implemented to correctly estimate the range and radial velocity of the moving target. Moving Target Indicator (MTI) is widely accepted as computationally efficient method to estimate the range and Doppler of the moving targets. But the Doppler estimation using MTI in case of multiple and very fast moving targets is not an accurate method. Adaptive CFAR thresholding is another technique that improves the performance of the system at very low SNR. We employ an FFT based signal processor with CFAR detector to produce unbiased estimates of the ranges and radial velocities of the multiple moving targets. Results show significant Improvements over other implemented techniques even at very low SNRs.

The paper presents the novel concept of a low frequency, wireless energy harvesting system capable of acquiring, processing, and transmitting electrocardiogram (ECG) and Ballistocardiogram (BCG) data. The System on Chip (SoC) is designed to be capable of autonomous power management and operation derived from harvested power. A MEMS based piezoelectric energy harvesting cantilever is employed for this purpose. It consists of a silicon beam integrated with piezoelectric thin film (PZT) elements fabricated on parallel top. A silicon proof mass is attached to the silicon beam. The arrangement of silicon beam and proof mass enables the structure to extract energy from low frequency vibrations. The energy harvester when integrated with the proposed system can perform ECG heart rate extraction and atrial fibrillation detection while only consuming a few μWs of harvested power. This novel design of energy harvesters provides an additional benefit of Ballistocardiogram (BCG) that can help in early stages of a heart disease diagnostics.

p53 is known as a genome guardian gene as it bears a putative function in the DNA damage associated gene regulatory networks (GRNs). These GRNs integrate many upstream signals to up-regulate p53 and in turn p53 either up-regulates or down-regulates many downstream signals. In this paper, we model a GRN comprising of the entities p53, Mdm2c, Mdm2n, and Akt using the qualitative and hybrid modeling frameworks. The qualitative model predicts a stable state and cycles representing the over expression and homeostasis of the entities, respectively. The model also predicts the bifurcation states, which cause divergence from the normal cyclic behaviours towards the stable state. We also compute the conditions in the form of delay constraints for the existence of cycles using hybrid model checking.

This paper deals with the important topic of Requirements Engineering in cloud computing, specifically on Software as a Services (SaaS) cloud model and presents a new methodology for Requirements Engineering of SaaS by identifying two key questions to handle Requirements in SaaS. The paper evolves by considering a CMMI modification by adding a new element in such a process, specifically devoted to SaaS and proposed a modification in the traditional Requirements Engineering process. The paper also identifies a set of requirement categories that must be considered in SaaS, which may not always be considered in the development process of traditional software.

In requirements engineering (RE), different activities are carried on to add up business values to the software products. In value-base software (VBS), financial impacts on business are measured, and this phenomenon makes VBS different than other traditional software applications. In VBS systems, determination of valuable requirements is a crucial task and depends on multiple aspects or factors. Requirement prioritization is a part of RE and is considered as a crucial decision-making activity. Requirements prioritization is a process where requirements are arranged in an order to create a stakeholder priority list. Different requirements prioritization techniques are used by the experts in the industry to partially support the prioritization process for VBS development. Business and technical aspects play a vital role to make prioritization process effective. In existing requirements prioritization techniques, technical aspects are not applied well, and their consideration is partial only. Moreover, the business aspects are ignored which are highly vital for VBS development. There is a need to introduce multi-aspects requirements prioritization technique to support the selection of candidate requirements for VBS development. Hence, this paper focuses on a new requirements prioritization technique for VBS.
在需求工程(RE)中,进行不同的活动来增加软件产品的业务价值。在价值基础软件(value- based software, VBS)中,财务对业务的影响是衡量的,这一现象使得VBS不同于其他传统的软件应用。在VBS系统中,确定有价值的需求是一项至关重要的任务,它取决于多个方面或因素。需求优先级是RE的一部分,被认为是一个关键的决策活动。需求优先级是一个将需求按顺序排列以创建涉众优先级列表的过程。行业专家使用不同的需求优先排序技术来部分支持VBS开发的优先排序过程。业务和技术方面在使优先排序过程有效方面起着至关重要的作用。在现有的需求优先排序技术中,技术方面没有得到很好的应用,而且它们的考虑只是局部的。此外,忽略了对VBS发展至关重要的业务方面。有必要引入多方面需求优先排序技术来支持VBS开发的候选需求选择。因此,本文重点研究了一种新的VBS需求优先级划分技术。
