Presentation of theory construction using the soft systems methodology approach to examine why open source software development projects require user participation to produce desirable software.
When Users Becom Collaborators: Towards Continuous and Context-Aware User InputHans-Joerg Happel
Current requirements engineering practices for gathering user input are characterized by a number of communication gaps between users and engineers which might lead to wrong requirements. The problem situations and context which underlie user input are either gathered back in time, or submitted with wrong a level of details. We think that making user input a first order concern of both software processes and software systems harbours many innovation opportunities. We propose and discuss a continuous and context-aware approach for communicating user input to engineering teams and other users, by a) instrumenting the problem domain, b) proactively recommending to share feedback and c) annotating graphical interfaces.
The WYRED (netWorked Youth Research for Empowerment in the Digital society) project has celebrated its fourth face-to-face meeting in Bath (UK) from June 18th till June 20th.
One the most important discussed topics was the WYRED Platform new features. This component is the core of the Technology Ecosystem for the project. In this platform, all the virtual interaction occurs in the project, mainly social dialogues and generative research.
A conference paper co-written with Nigel Jackson (Plymouth), key questions asked were how parties use Web 2.0 and whether they embrace or adapt the technologies. Talked of the emergence of the political strategists' creation of Web 1.5, partial use of the tools but no real interaction.
Why Technology Is Failing In Public SchoolsEduTechNia
An undercover case study across different public schools reaveals why technology is failing. After our observations, we concluded that technology is failing primarily because: inattention to results and avoidance of accountability. To our surprise money is not the problem. We are including some ideas on how to improve academic achievement through technology. Your comments and ideas may help schools better serve their students.
Quantitative And Qualitative Evaluation Of F/Oss Volunteer Participation In D...ijseajournal
Free/Open Source Software (F/OSS) is an incredible and innovative opportunity of software development
in the area of software engineering. An F/OSS project evolves by receiving submissions from various
sources to address different aspects of the project like bug identification, feature request, support request,
translation request, source code, documentation etc. The present paper delves into a multi-case study of
F/OSS projects to evaluate volunteer participation in defect management quantitatively as well as
qualitatively. The relevant defect data has been retrieved from a research collaboratory. It is found that
generally a small core team is surrounded by a large community of volunteers participating in defects. It is
observed that defect reporting is a widely dispersed activity mostly contributed by volunteers external to
core team making occasional contribution while defect resolution is concentrated among a few individuals
mainly from core team making regular contribution.

The impact of user involvement in software development processnooriasukmaningtyas
In software development process, user can take part in any phase of the process, depending on what model is being applied. Lack of user involvement can result in a poorly designed solution, or even a solution that conflicts with user’s needs. This review paper presents the impact of user involvement in software development process. In this study, different software development processes will be reviewed, show where the user usually gets involved in different models such as: structural (waterfall, Vmodel) and incremental (scrum-extreme programming XP). As each model differs from the other, each of them has a different perspective of where user should take part and where they should not. This can be an asset that helps project managers, and leaders to develop suitable strategies to follow in their projects.
Onboarding in Open Source Software Projects: A Preliminary AnalysisJürgen Münch
Nowadays, many software projects are partially or completely open-source based. There is an increasing need for companies to participate in open-source software (OSS) projects, e.g., in order to benefit from open source ecosystems. OSS projects introduce particular challenges that have to be understood in order to gain the benefits. One such challenge is getting newcom- ers onboard into the projects effectively. Similar challenges may be present in other self-organised, virtual team environments. In this paper we present preliminary observations and results of in-progress research that studies the process of onboarding into virtual OSS teams. The study is based on a program created and conceived at Stanford University in conjunction with Facebook’s Education Modernization program. It involves the collaboration of more than a dozen international universities and nine open source projects. More than 120 students participated in 2013. The students have been introduced to and supported by mentors experienced in the participating OSS projects. Our findings indicate that mentoring is an important factor for effective onboarding in OSS projects, promoting cohesion within distributed teams and maintaining an appropriate pace.

Requirements Analysis and Design in the Context of Various Software Developme...zillesubhan
Software Engineering is a significant domain of Computer Science that deals with all the activities associated with the
software development. Basically, a software is developed in a number of phases and each phase is closely linked to all other
phases. The success and failure of a phase can heavily affect the other phases. Both requirements analysis and software design
are significant phases of the software development process. In fact, the successful completion of a software development task
heavily depends on the successful completion of these two phases. This paper is a comparative study of requirements engineering
and design phases of different software development approaches. The major objective of this research is to present a detailed
analysis of requirements and design phases of traditional and agile software development approaches.

These are the slides of my ICSME 2016 keynote, presented on 5 October 2016 in Raleigh, North Carolina. I focus on the difficulties of maintaining and evolving software ecosystems, large collections of interacting software components that are maintained by a large and active community of contributors and that evolve together in the same environment. Software ecosystems are becoming ubiquitous due to the omnipresence of open source software. I present several problems that arise during maintenance and evolution of software ecosystems, and I argue how some of these challenges should be addressed by adopting a socio-technical view and by relying on a multidisciplinary and mixed methods research approach. I illustrate this with examples of social network analysis, complex systems research, ecological biodiversity, and survival analysis.
Software Usability Implications in Requirements and DesignNatalia Juristo
There are so many software products and systems with immature usability that it is for sure that most people have enough frustrating experiences to acknowledge the low level of use that usability strategies, models and methods have in software construction.
However, usability is not at all an extra but a basic for a software system: people productivity and comfort is directly related to the usability of the software they use (in their work or at home) and several quality attribute classifications agree on the importance of considering usability as a quality attribute the seminar will discuss and debunk three myths that stand in the way of the proper incorporation of usability features into software systems. These myths are:
• usability problems can be fixed in the later development stages.
• usability has implications only for the non-functional requirements.
• the general statement of a usability feature (“The system must incorporate the undo feature”) is a sufficient specification.
A pattern-oriented solution that support developers in incorporating usability features into their requirements and designs is presented

5 Tips for Creating Standard Financial ReportsEasyReports
Well-crafted financial reports serve as vital tools for decision-making and transparency within an organization. By following the undermentioned tips, you can create standardized financial reports that effectively communicate your company's financial health and performance to stakeholders.
Financial Assets: Debit vs Equity Securities.pptxWrito-Finance
financial assets represent claim for future benefit or cash. Financial assets are formed by establishing contracts between participants. These financial assets are used for collection of huge amounts of money for business purposes.
Two major Types: Debt Securities and Equity Securities.
Debt Securities are Also known as fixed-income securities or instruments. The type of assets is formed by establishing contracts between investor and issuer of the asset.
• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.
• Above discussed debit securities are mostly issued by governments and corporations. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS CDs are issued by Banks and Financial Institutions. Risk factor associated with CDs gets reduced when issued by reputable institutions or Banks.
Following are the risk attached with debt securities: Credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk
There are no fixed maturity dates in such securities, and asset’s value is determined by company’s performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
Common Stock: These are simple equity securities and bear no complexities which the preferred stock bears. Holders of such securities or instrument have the voting rights when it comes to select the company’s board of director or the business decisions to be made.
Preferred Stock: Preferred stocks are sometime referred to as hybrid securities, because it contains elements of both debit security and equity security. Preferred stock confers ownership rights to security holder that is why it is equity instrument
<a href="https://www.writofinance.com/equity-securities-features-types-risk/" >Equity securities </a> as a whole is used for capital funding for companies. Companies have multiple expenses to cover. Potential growth of company is required in competitive market. So, these securities are used for capital generation, and then uses it for company’s growth.
Concluding remarks
Both are employed in business. Businesses are often established through debit securities, then what is the need for equity securities. Companies have to cover multiple expenses and expansion of business. They can also use equity instruments for repayment of debits. So, there are multiple uses for securities. As an investor, you need tools for analysis. Investment decisions are made by carefully analyzing the market. For better analysis of the stock market, investors often employ financial analysis of companies.

how to sell pi coins in South Korea profitably.DOT TECH
Yes. You can sell your pi network coins in South Korea or any other country, by finding a verified pi merchant
What is a verified pi merchant?
Since pi network is not launched yet on any exchange, the only way you can sell pi coins is by selling to a verified pi merchant, and this is because pi network is not launched yet on any exchange and no pre-sale or ico offerings Is done on pi.
Since there is no pre-sale, the only way exchanges can get pi is by buying from miners. So a pi merchant facilitates these transactions by acting as a bridge for both transactions.
How can i find a pi vendor/merchant?
Well for those who haven't traded with a pi merchant or who don't already have one. I will leave the telegram id of my personal pi merchant who i trade pi with.

What website can I sell pi coins securely.DOT TECH
Currently there are no website or exchange that allow buying or selling of pi coins..
But you can still easily sell pi coins, by reselling it to exchanges/crypto whales interested in holding thousands of pi coins before the mainnet launch.
Who is a pi merchant?
A pi merchant is someone who buys pi coins from miners and resell to these crypto whales and holders of pi..
This is because pi network is not doing any pre-sale. The only way exchanges can get pi is by buying from miners and pi merchants stands in between the miners and the exchanges.
How can I sell my pi coins?
Selling pi coins is really easy, but first you need to migrate to mainnet wallet before you can do that. I will leave the telegram contact of my personal pi merchant to trade with.
