Software Project Management | An Overview of the Software Project ManagementAhsan Rahim
Management is the process of getting things done through others, it is the process of coordinating people & other resources to achieve the goals of the organization. A project is a set of related tasks that are coordinated to achieve a specific objective in a given time limit. A project is well-defined task, which is a collection of several operations done in order to achieve a goal. Software is the program & all associated documentation & configuration data which is needed to make these programs operate correctly.
A Software Project is the complete procedure of software development from requirement gathering to testing & maintenance, carried out according to the execution methodologies, in a specified period of time to achieve intended software product.
Suitability of Agile Methods for Safety-Critical Systems Development: A Surve...Editor IJCATR
Lately, agile methods have widely been used in large organizations. This contrasts to previous practice, where they were mainly
used for small projects. However, developers of safety critical systems have shied away from using these methods for the right and wrong
reasons. Adoption of agile methods for safety critical system development is low and there is need to find out why this is so especially
since agile methods allow a more relaxed approach towards documentation, flexible development lifecycle based on short iterations and
accommodates changing requirements. This paper presents a report of a detailed analysis of literature and aims to shed light on the
suitability of agile methods for developing safety critical systems .The findings indicate that many organizations are relying on traditional
methods to develop safety critical systems because they are familiar with them and have been thoroughly tested over time. However with
the advent of agile methods there is a paradigm shift by non safety critical system developers, nevertheless this is not happening with the
safety critical system developers and there is need to find out why.

A Review and Analysis on Mobile Application Development Processes using Agile...IJORCS
Over a last decade, mobile telecommunication industry has observed a rapid growth, proved to be highly competitive, uncertain and dynamic environment. Besides its advancement, it has also raised number of questions and gained concern both in industry and research. The development process of mobile application differs from traditional softwares as the users expect same features similar to their desktop computer applications with additional mobile specific functionalities. Advanced mobile applications require assimilation with existing enterprise computing systems such as databases, legacy applications and Web services. In addition, the lifecycle of a mobile application moves much faster than that of a traditional Web application and therefore the lifecycle management associated therein must be adjusted accordingly. The Security and application testing are more stimulating and interesting in mobile application than in Web applications since the technology in mobile devices progresses rapidly and developers must stay in touch with the latest developments, news and trends in their area of work. With the rising competence of software market, researchers are seeking more flexible methods that can adjust to dynamic situations where software system requirements are changing over time, producing valuable software in short duration and within low budget. The intrinsic uncertainty and complexity in any software project therefore requires an iterative developmental plan to cope with uncertainty and a large number of unknown variables. Agile Methodologies were thus introduced to meet the new requirements of the software development companies. The agile methodologies aim at facilitating software development processes where changes are acceptable at any stage and provide a structure for highly collaborative software development. Therefore, the present paper aims in reviewing and analysing different prevalent methodologies utilizing agile techniques that are currently in use for the development of mobile applications. This paper provides a detailed review and analysis on the use of agile methodologies in the proposed processes associated with mobile application skills and highlights its benefit and constraints. In addition, based on this analysis, future research needs are identified and discussed.

Exploring Innovations in Data Repository Solutions - Insights from the U.S. G...Globus
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has made substantial investments in meeting evolving scientific, technical, and policy driven demands on storing, managing, and delivering data. As these demands continue to grow in complexity and scale, the USGS must continue to explore innovative solutions to improve its management, curation, sharing, delivering, and preservation approaches for large-scale research data. Supporting these needs, the USGS has partnered with the University of Chicago-Globus to research and develop advanced repository components and workflows leveraging its current investment in Globus. The primary outcome of this partnership includes the development of a prototype enterprise repository, driven by USGS Data Release requirements, through exploration and implementation of the entire suite of the Globus platform offerings, including Globus Flow, Globus Auth, Globus Transfer, and Globus Search. This presentation will provide insights into this research partnership, introduce the unique requirements and challenges being addressed and provide relevant project progress.
First Steps with Globus Compute Multi-User EndpointsGlobus
In this presentation we will share our experiences around getting started with the Globus Compute multi-user endpoint. Working with the Pharmacology group at the University of Auckland, we have previously written an application using Globus Compute that can offload computationally expensive steps in the researcher's workflows, which they wish to manage from their familiar Windows environments, onto the NeSI (New Zealand eScience Infrastructure) cluster. Some of the challenges we have encountered were that each researcher had to set up and manage their own single-user globus compute endpoint and that the workloads had varying resource requirements (CPUs, memory and wall time) between different runs. We hope that the multi-user endpoint will help to address these challenges and share an update on our progress here.

Understanding Globus Data Transfers with NetSageGlobus
NetSage is an open privacy-aware network measurement, analysis, and visualization service designed to help end-users visualize and reason about large data transfers. NetSage traditionally has used a combination of passive measurements, including SNMP and flow data, as well as active measurements, mainly perfSONAR, to provide longitudinal network performance data visualization. It has been deployed by dozens of networks world wide, and is supported domestically by the Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC), NSF #2328479. We have recently expanded the NetSage data sources to include logs for Globus data transfers, following the same privacy-preserving approach as for Flow data. Using the logs for the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) as an example, this talk will walk through several different example use cases that NetSage can answer, including: Who is using Globus to share data with my institution, and what kind of performance are they able to achieve? How many transfers has Globus supported for us? Which sites are we sharing the most data with, and how is that changing over time? How is my site using Globus to move data internally, and what kind of performance do we see for those transfers? What percentage of data transfers at my institution used Globus, and how did the overall data transfer performance compare to the Globus users?

Climate Science Flows: Enabling Petabyte-Scale Climate Analysis with the Eart...Globus
The Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) is a global network of data servers that archives and distributes the planet’s largest collection of Earth system model output for thousands of climate and environmental scientists worldwide. Many of these petabyte-scale data archives are located in proximity to large high-performance computing (HPC) or cloud computing resources, but the primary workflow for data users consists of transferring data, and applying computations on a different system. As a part of the ESGF 2.0 US project (funded by the United States Department of Energy Office of Science), we developed pre-defined data workflows, which can be run on-demand, capable of applying many data reduction and data analysis to the large ESGF data archives, transferring only the resultant analysis (ex. visualizations, smaller data files). In this talk, we will showcase a few of these workflows, highlighting how Globus Flows can be used for petabyte-scale climate analysis.
