Effort distribution, be it by phase or activity, is an important aspect of SDLC. Yet it is often overlooked in
the process of cost estimation. Poor effort allocation is one of the root causes of rework owing to early activities
being insufficiently resourced. This paper presents various phase effort distribution patterns and variation sources.
The analysis results of these patterns show some consistency in effects of size of software and team size on code
and test phase distribution variations, and some considerable deviations in design, requirements, and transition
phases, compared with recommendations in the COCOMO model. Software size, in turn, depends on the smallmedium,
medium-large companies having different schemes. Finally, the major findings of this paper discusses
about threats to validity and presents general guidelines in directing effort distribution across the various software
development methods, time duration of the phases of SDLC and the team strength. Based on the above factors,
effort distribution can be estimated.

INCREASING THE ARCHITECTURES DESIGN QUALITY FOR MAS: AN APPROACH TO MINIMIZE ...cscpconf
The efficiency of multi agent system design mainly relies on the quality of a conceptual architecture of such systems. Hence, quality issues should be considered at an early stage in the software development process. Large systems such as multi agents systems (MAS) require many communications and interactions to fulfil their tasks, and this leads to complexity of architecture design (AD) which have crucial influence on architecture design quality. This work attempts to introduce approach to increase the architecture design quality of MAS by minimizing the effect of complexity.
Information system project management (IT - project) is a complex iterative process. An important role for the development of complex IT projects plays records of the development lifecycle (LC). The article presents an analysis of the effectiveness of the work on the creation of IT - projects based on two modified models of the life cycle: cascade and spiral. Analysis of the effectiveness of the management of the IT project was implemented on the basis of simulation. The modeling was carried out on the basis of Any Ljgic tools on the example of development of geoinformation system (GIS). It is shown that it is advisable to design GIS on the basis of a modified spiral LC with splitting of the flow of requirements at the input. The peculiarity of the proposed study is to take into account the requirements in the form of communicative interactions of different types. Under the communicative interactions are understood all the interactions between the subjects of the process of creating an IT-project: verbal and non - verbal, carried out on the basis of CASE-means

Introduction
The purpose of the Communications Management Plan is to define the communication requirements for the project and how information will be distributed. The Communications Management Plan defines the following:
· What information will be communicated—to include the level of detail and format
· How the information will be communicated—in meetings, email, telephone, web portal, etc.
· When information will be distributed—the frequency of project communications both formal and informal
· Who is responsible for communicating project information
· Communication requirements for all project stakeholders
· What resources the project allocates for communication
· How any sensitive or confidential information is communicated and who must authorize this
· How changes in communication or the communication process are managed
· The flow of project communications
· Any constraints, internal or external, which affect project communications
· Any standard templates, formats, or documents the project must use for communicating
· An escalation process for resolving any communication-based conflicts or issuesCommunications Management Approach
Approximately 80% of a Project Manager’s time is spent communicating. Think about it – as a Project Manager you are spending most of your time measuring and reporting on the performance of the project, composing and reading emails, conducting meetings, writing the project plan, meeting with team members, overseeing work being performed, meeting with clients over lunch and many more activities related to your projects.
You should give considerable thought to how you want to manage communications on this project. By having a solid communications management approach you’ll find that many project management problems can be avoided. In this section give an overview of your communications management approach.Communications Management Constraints
All projects are subject to limitations and constraints as they must be within scope and adhere to budget, scheduling, and resource requirements. Project planning and documentation are no exception to this rule. There may also be legislative, regulatory, technology, or organizational policy requirements which must be followed as part of communications management. These constraints must be clearly understood and communicated to all stakeholders. While communications management is arguably one of the most important aspects of project management, it must be done in an effective manner and within the constraints of the allocated budget, ...

Business Analysis / IT Management .
Lindorff Group is a leading outsourced receivables management company in Europe, and one of the leading on a global basis. For the past three–four years, they have increasingly adopted agile practices, especially in a large scale project converting and improving an old system written in Powerhouse to new .Net–technology.
The results from adopting agile practices have been mostly positive, however, there were challenging issues related to requirement handling and estimation that needed attention. In 2008, Lindorff joined a project with Symphonical funded by Innovation Norway. The purpose of the project was to develop software for requirements handling, estimation and knowledge management for the Symphonical platform. Symphonical is a flexible web–based collaboration platform, where users can brainstorm, plan, organize and coordinate any process.
This talk presents results from a case study detailing the challenges faced by Lindorff as they simultaneously adopted agile practices and introduced a new system for requirement handling and estimation. According to the respondents of the case study, Lindorff appears to have improved on two of the main points of concern presented in the 2007 study: requirement handling and estimation. Many users report that the introduction of agile methods and the platform Symphonical has improved the quality of important work processes. Furthermore, they report that the introduction of Symphonical has provided a framework for structured discussions regarding individual requirements, which helps maintaining the focus of IT projects. Furthermore, the flexible sharing regime where one can easily share information to external participants improves the effectiveness and efficiency of collaboration with all project contributors.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.
Final project report on grocery store management system..pdfKamal Acharya
In today’s fast-changing business environment, it’s extremely important to be able to respond to client needs in the most effective and timely manner. If your customers wish to see your business online and have instant access to your products or services.
Online Grocery Store is an e-commerce website, which retails various grocery products. This project allows viewing various products available enables registered users to purchase desired products instantly using Paytm, UPI payment processor (Instant Pay) and also can place order by using Cash on Delivery (Pay Later) option. This project provides an easy access to Administrators and Managers to view orders placed using Pay Later and Instant Pay options.
In order to develop an e-commerce website, a number of Technologies must be studied and understood. These include multi-tiered architecture, server and client-side scripting techniques, implementation technologies, programming language (such as PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and MySQL relational databases. This is a project with the objective to develop a basic website where a consumer is provided with a shopping cart website and also to know about the technologies used to develop such a website.
This document will discuss each of the underlying technologies to create and implement an e- commerce website.
CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

Automobile Management System Project Report.pdfKamal Acharya
The proposed project is developed to manage the automobile in the automobile dealer company. The main module in this project is login, automobile management, customer management, sales, complaints and reports. The first module is the login. The automobile showroom owner should login to the project for usage. The username and password are verified and if it is correct, next form opens. If the username and password are not correct, it shows the error message.
When a customer search for a automobile, if the automobile is available, they will be taken to a page that shows the details of the automobile including automobile name, automobile ID, quantity, price etc. “Automobile Management System” is useful for maintaining automobiles, customers effectively and hence helps for establishing good relation between customer and automobile organization. It contains various customized modules for effectively maintaining automobiles and stock information accurately and safely.
When the automobile is sold to the customer, stock will be reduced automatically. When a new purchase is made, stock will be increased automatically. While selecting automobiles for sale, the proposed software will automatically check for total number of available stock of that particular item, if the total stock of that particular item is less than 5, software will notify the user to purchase the particular item.
Also when the user tries to sale items which are not in stock, the system will prompt the user that the stock is not enough. Customers of this system can search for a automobile; can purchase a automobile easily by selecting fast. On the other hand the stock of automobiles can be maintained perfectly by the automobile shop manager overcoming the drawbacks of existing system.

2. COMMUNICATION
There are different communication instruments, such
as:
e-mail
document
telephone
meeting
contracts
specifications
reports
manuals
schedules
calculations
3. COMMUNICATION
drawings
computer files
Disks
print-outs
photographs
agenda’s and minutes of meetings
The management of documentation and
communication used in a project is used by a
number of subcontractors, the storage and
retrieval thereof for further use.
4. COMMUNICATION
STANDARDISATION OF COMMUNICATION
The main purpose of standardisation is to
develop a specific level of conformity.
This process of standardisation has certain
advantages for the management of a project,
such as:
Less different documents.
Revised drawings overtake the other
drawings.
Records are easy to handle.
5. COMMUNICATION
Training is simpler and more uniform.
Communication planning and especially -
control is simpler.
Better utilisation of documents and the
compiling thereof.
Easy to use in one project or another,
although these are totally different
projects.
6. COMMUNICATION
Standardisation contributes to
increased productivity.
The documents and communication
from one project to the next are the
same or similar.
Therefore less confusion is created.
7. COMMUNICATION
COMMUNICATION PLAN
Communication planning brings the
project together.
The project manager and head office
staff are at the heart of the project’s
information and control system.
It is the project manager’s responsibility
to develop the project organisation
structure.
To develop the project’s communication
plan and lines of communication.
8. COMMUNICATION
The communication plan should outline:
Who is responsible for lines of communication?
Who is the sender and who is the receiver?
What are the scope of communication and the format
adopted?
How the message, drawings etc are send to all parties
interested.
What method would be the most appropriate? Is it:
e-mail
document
telephone
meeting
9. COMMUNICATION
presentation
Feedback (confirm message received
and understood – document control)
Filing system:
retrieval
storing
disaster recovery
12. COMMUNICATION
Informal communication
In the construction industry, the
following are informal communication
methods:
Regular contact-face to face
E mailing
Phone call
Team Meetings
14. COMMUNICATION
To achieve goals, it is necessary to
communicate or interact at various levels of
the organisation.
This is known as internal communication.
Members also have to communicate with
individuals or groups who are not members
of the project.
This is referred to as external
communication.
