This summarizes a research paper that analyzed attrition data from a major Indian software outsourcing company over a 14 month period. The summary includes:
1) Descriptive statistics showed the average monthly attrition for client-initiated reasons (3.28 people) was similar to member-initiated reasons (2.57 people).
2) T-tests found no significant difference between the means of client-initiated versus member-initiated attrition, failing to reject the null hypothesis.
3) Attrition reasons of "joining another company" (0.92 people on average) were also similar to unknown reasons (1.64 people), as t-tests found no significant difference between these
Analysing Attrition in Outsourced Software Projectcsandit
Information systems (IS) outsourcing has grown as a major business phenomenon, and widely
accepted as a business tool. Software outsourcing companies provide expertise, knowledge and
capabilities to their clients by taking up the projects both onsite and offsite. These companies
face numerous challenges including attrition of project members. Attrition is a major challenge
experienced by the outsourcing companies as it has severe impact on business, revenues and
profitability. In this paper, attrition data of a major software outsourcing company was
analysed and an attempt to find the reason for attrition is also made. The data analysis was
based on the data collected by an outsourcing company over a period of two years for a major
client. The results show that the client initiated attrition can have an impact on project and the
members quit the outsourcing company due to client initiated ramp down without revealing the
reason.
The document discusses implementing an applicant tracking system (ATS) and provides a strategic 3-step approach: 1) Analyze the current hiring process by interviewing stakeholders to understand workflows and gaps. 2) Define the future state and compare it to identify gaps. 3) Create an action plan to address findings and prepare for implementation. It emphasizes analyzing both the current and desired future processes to ensure the ATS can meet future needs and avoid costly workarounds. Conducting this analysis upfront can prevent risks associated with retrofitting processes to new technology.

A model for aligning software projects requirements with project team members...csandit
This document presents a model called the Project's Requirements and Team Members' Requirements (PrTr) alignment model. The model aims to achieve a balanced approach in decision making that considers both the requirements of a software project and the needs of project team members. It does this by aligning a project's requirements, as expressed in its vision and goals, with the individual needs of team members, as described in Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. The document argues that properly aligning these will result in meeting both the project's and team members' needs, leading to better outcomes.

Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.
DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELgerogepatton
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.
TIME DIVISION MULTIPLEXING TECHNIQUE FOR COMMUNICATION SYSTEMHODECEDSIET
Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) is a method of transmitting multiple signals over a single communication channel by dividing the signal into many segments, each having a very short duration of time. These time slots are then allocated to different data streams, allowing multiple signals to share the same transmission medium efficiently. TDM is widely used in telecommunications and data communication systems.
### How TDM Works
1. **Time Slots Allocation**: The core principle of TDM is to assign distinct time slots to each signal. During each time slot, the respective signal is transmitted, and then the process repeats cyclically. For example, if there are four signals to be transmitted, the TDM cycle will divide time into four slots, each assigned to one signal.
2. **Synchronization**: Synchronization is crucial in TDM systems to ensure that the signals are correctly aligned with their respective time slots. Both the transmitter and receiver must be synchronized to avoid any overlap or loss of data. This synchronization is typically maintained by a clock signal that ensures time slots are accurately aligned.
3. **Frame Structure**: TDM data is organized into frames, where each frame consists of a set of time slots. Each frame is repeated at regular intervals, ensuring continuous transmission of data streams. The frame structure helps in managing the data streams and maintaining the synchronization between the transmitter and receiver.
4. **Multiplexer and Demultiplexer**: At the transmitting end, a multiplexer combines multiple input signals into a single composite signal by assigning each signal to a specific time slot. At the receiving end, a demultiplexer separates the composite signal back into individual signals based on their respective time slots.
### Types of TDM
1. **Synchronous TDM**: In synchronous TDM, time slots are pre-assigned to each signal, regardless of whether the signal has data to transmit or not. This can lead to inefficiencies if some time slots remain empty due to the absence of data.
2. **Asynchronous TDM (or Statistical TDM)**: Asynchronous TDM addresses the inefficiencies of synchronous TDM by allocating time slots dynamically based on the presence of data. Time slots are assigned only when there is data to transmit, which optimizes the use of the communication channel.
### Applications of TDM
- **Telecommunications**: TDM is extensively used in telecommunication systems, such as in T1 and E1 lines, where multiple telephone calls are transmitted over a single line by assigning each call to a specific time slot.
- **Digital Audio and Video Broadcasting**: TDM is used in broadcasting systems to transmit multiple audio or video streams over a single channel, ensuring efficient use of bandwidth.
- **Computer Networks**: TDM is used in network protocols and systems to manage the transmission of data from multiple sources over a single network medium.
### Advantages of TDM
- **Efficient Use of Bandwidth**: TDM all

Abstract—In today’s global economy; the competition in
market among various organizations has beenincreased
by great extent. The success in market is depending upon
innovative research in product design and development
as well as its quick launching in market. Thus the main
aim of the concept of Concurrent Engineering is to speed
up the every process that occurs during production and
reducing the new product launching time in the market.
But at the same time the impact of human resource
management on all the activities from hiring new
employees to achieving the organizational goal can’t be
neglected. The above mentioned activity of concurrent
engineering is only possible if there is proper co-
ordination and co-operation among various
organizational departments and effective communication
in employees. Also proper training to the employees for
improving not only technical skills but also interpersonal
skills of employees will lead towards successful
achievement of an organizational goal. Hence Human
Resource Management undividable interconnection with
Concurrent Engineering if properly understood and
studied. Thus, implementation of both concepts give rise
to long term benefits to organization in terms of customer
satisfaction and improved interest of shareholders as
well as stakeholders. Using proper methodology it is easy
to implement Human Resource Management based
Concurrent Engineering to be a market leader in today’s
cut- throat competition in this world.
Keywords—Communication, Concurrent Engineering,
Co-ordination, Human Resource Management, Product

I. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Concept of Concurrent Engineering-
A concurrent approach for the product designing is
termed as concurrent engineering. It is also called as
simultaneous engineering as it invariably involves doing
several activities pertaining to different functions
simultaneously. The concurrent engineering includes
several elements for integration and tries to reduce
product launching time. The following figure shows the
exact concept of concurrent engineering.
1.2 Concept of Human Resource Management-
The concept of HRM deals with planning, organizing the
human resource and controlling them to achieve the
organizational goal in effective and efficient manner.
Concurrent Engineering may involve cross-functional
teams (like ‘Strategic Business Units’) to solve any
problem that may affect the new product design and
development project in the company. Thus a cross
functional team approach places greater demands on the
members in terms of “Learning the new skills” like
technical as well as interpersonal skills. Here it is the
main role of HRM that to train the employees as per
necessity and develop their capabilities which ultimately
reflects into improved performance and hence
achievement of organizational goal. Hence HRM is acting
as concrete in between all the bricks required to build the
building of Concurrent Engineering.
1.3 Need for interconnection –
In the process of design of any product, the launching
time plays vital role. It is necessary to reduce the time due
to many reasons. i.e. to sustain in the market competition,

stock information, report of currently available products/
services in the market etc. It is observed that any selected
department may not be aware of the problems with the
other departments. So these difficulties may lead to a
longer launching time of a product/ service.
From above figure; it is clear that the factor “People” is
important principle in CE which is the building block of
HRM. Hence without HRM we can’t imagine foolproof
system of CE so that HRM is unavoidable aspect of CE.
II. INTERCONNECTION BETWEEN CE & HRM
The basic interconnection between CE and HRM can be
explained with the help of fig.2. There are lot many
factors those are act as interlinking or interconnecting
elements in between Concurrent Engineering and Human
Resource Management. These various factors are as
shown in the following figure followed by detailed
explanation.
2.1 Planning & Procurement for HRM to meet
Need-
To fulfill the market demand in as less as possible time
one must possess appropriate number of manpower in
hand so that easily can meet the contingencies. Thus to
carry out working of Concurrent Engineering; sufficient
manpower is always required and can be achieved by
planning and procurement of human resource by HR
department.
2.2 Human Resource Development-
Development is long term process of permanent change
creating among the employees. In CE, organizations need
fully trained and developed workforce in terms of
carrying out all the tasks to speed-up the product design,
development and production activities. If manpower is
not developed ethically, morally, socially and technically;
it will be very tough to speed –up all the operations to
reduce the product launching time.
2.3 Human resource Training-
In CE; there is formation of cross-departmental groups for
exchanging the information and carry out all the
processes smoothly. We generally call it as “Strategic
Business Units (i.e. SBU’s)”.The properly trained
workforce will help in Concurrent Engineering as-
- Improved level of knowledge, skills &
abilities.
- Improved employee productivity.
- Improved motivation & confidence in working.
- Improved chances for career advancement for
every employee.
Thus the training may be technical,
administrative or interpersonal type as per the
requirement.
2.4 Employee Motivation and Increasing their
Morale-
All the success of Concurrent Engineering for shortening
the product launching time is mostly depends upon –
Organizational policies, Management Decisions,
Employee dedication towards work and Motivational
factor also effective and efficient utilization of resources.
If all the above factors came together then it will be very
easy to achieve the goal of Concurrent Engineering.
2.5 Corporate Relationship-
During the working of “CE”, there is direct or indirect
contact or communications between various departments
take place. In such conditions; due to own self-perception;
one may hesitate or be reluctant in keeping contact with
each other, which collectively results in collapsing the
whole system of Concurrent Engineering. Hence role of
HRM in such cases of CE is – to keep reduced span of
control in the management, effective delegation of the
work can be done, reduction in conflict like situations etc.

actions will lead towards proper working of concurrent
engineering.
The following flow chart (Fig.6) will clear the concept of
controlling process that carried out during our research
for evaluating effective production in CE with the help of
HRM.
VI. NEW ADVANCED WAYS TO BE ADOPTED
TO IMPROVE THE PERFORMANCE OF AN
ORGANIZATION UNDER “CE” & “HRM”
During the research work, we have searched some
innovative ways to be adopted by any organization for
improvement in performance of an organization. These
are as under-
6.1 Concept of “Quality Circles”
Small teams may be formed among employees and meet
together during free time or at weekends to discuss about
their role in organization, various difficulties faced by
them during working etc. so that solution can be obtained
for efficient working also problem solving ability at
individual level increases.
6.2 Concept of “Run Time Data Analysis”
In organization; strong net of internet connectivity is
formed by either wired ‘LAN’ or wireless ‘Wi-Fi’ for
continuous updating of data about inventory, production
status or for quick communication during emergency
condition. This will improve effective time utilisation and
hence speed-up the production processes.
6.3 Formation of “Reserve Task Force”
There may be formation of the reserve task force for the
purpose of carrying the production process work without
any interruption. The main soul of “CE” is speeding-up
all the processes, but due to failure of specific system or
frequent absenteeism of employees; the purpose of “CE”
may not be fruitful. So it may include- additional machine
set for emergency, additional HR team for maintenance,
troubleshooting or for regular proceedings and help can
be taken from those employees who want to do overtime
work for additional benefits.
6.4 Concept of “Daily Job Card”
A daily job card is maintained in which the particular
work to be done by an individual employee is mentioned
like daily targets for sales manager and at the end of the
day or shift; it is evaluated by supervisor. If target is
achieved then reward or benefits should be awarded and if
not then there should be penalty in terms of fine should be
taken so that every individual will be aggressively
directed towards completing their target and thus
speeding-up of all the production processes will be
achieved.
VII. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF
INTERCONNECTION BETWEEN “CE” AND
“HRM”
7.1 Advantages-
- Reduced cycle time for production system.
- Improved knowledge, skills and capabilities of
employees.
- Helps in development of future leaders and
strategies.
- Risk of failure in CE implementation reduces.
- Commitment of each and every employee
towards organizational vision and mission
improves.
- Interpersonal relation among employees
improves and thus conflicts may be avoided.
Thus there are lot many advantages out of which
we have seen some important ones.
7.2 Disadvantages-
- This point can be explained in different manner
because there are no any disadvantages of this
interconnection. But, yes, there are lot many
obstacles; that may act as limitations for this.
These are as follows(Fig.7)

As we discussed earlier, generally this “CE +
HRM” interconnected system gives only benefits
but due to some inconvenience in system or
human factors; the organization may face the
loss even after implementation
HRM.
8.1 As far as, the range of applicality as concern,
the same research concept can be implemented
in ;
8.1.1 Manufacturing sector (Foundries, Machine
Shops, and Material Suppliers etc.)
8.1.2 Service Sector (Hospitality Centers,
Hospitals, Consultancy agencies etc
Fig.7: Obstacles in implementation of “HRM” based “CE”.
At the end of our research; we concluded that the
interconnection between Concurrent Engineering and
Human Resource Management is undividable. Those who
have understood it; definitely they have taken taste of
sweet success in terms of increased revenue and
customer beliefs on them. Hence following figure (Fig.8)
will give detailed concluder of our research wok.
