This document discusses planning approaches for research projects. It recommends against using Gantt charts for research planning, as research is nonlinear and time is not the main variable. Instead, the document suggests planning based on the research objective and new knowledge goals. It also emphasizes using feedback processes by writing and sharing work incrementally to get early feedback, rather than waiting until the end. This allows adapting the research as new discoveries are made. The document recommends an incremental construction approach where the scope and significance of the new knowledge grows over time in small pieces, to reduce risks of going over time or limiting outcomes.

U of I INTR 101 03 Project Management
Project management involves planning, executing, completing, and evaluating large projects that often require coordination of people and resources over an extended timeline. It differs from action planning in that project management deals with larger scale work broken into major tasks with rough deadlines, while action planning focuses on creating detailed plans for completing tasks between larger milestones. Potential issues that could impact a project include changing deadlines, emergencies arising, or difficulties coordinating group work. It is important to plan for flexibility and maintain open communication.
Intr 101 03_project_management
Project management involves planning, executing, completing, and evaluating large projects that often require coordination of people and resources over an extended timeline. The key differences between action planning and project management are that action planning focuses on creating high-level outlines and timelines to overview how a project will be completed, while project management involves creating more detailed plans for each component and task. Potential issues that could impact a project include changing deadlines, emergencies arising, or difficulties coordinating group work. It is important to communicate regularly, include flexibility in plans, and address any issues with group members or instructors early on.
Introduction to planning
Planning is an important project management technique that involves preparing a sequence of action steps to achieve a goal. A plan provides a map to see your progress and make good decisions. Planning helps avoid wasting time on unstructured activities and prevents crises by allowing adjustments. When writing an action plan, clarify the measurable goal, generate ideas without judgment, prioritize key steps, organize the steps in order, and regularly review progress and adjust the plan. While goal setting forms can be useful for learning, a plain paper system lacks flexibility for adjusting goals and becomes too time-consuming for serious goal management.

Introduction to planning
Planning is important for project management and time management. It involves preparing action steps to achieve goals and reduces necessary time and effort. A plan provides visibility into progress towards goals. Planning helps avoid inefficient efforts and potential problems. When writing an action plan, one should clarify goals, generate action ideas, prioritize key steps, organize the plan, and regularly monitor and review progress. While forms can help with initial goal setting, over time a flexible digital system better supports adjusting goals and objectives in response to new information.

3. The exam evaluates both conceptual knowledge of requirements engineering as well as practical skills in applying techniques from the textbook.
Questions
This document contains questions and answers about software requirements and specifications. It covers topics like misunderstanding requirements leading to inaccurate planning, gold plating, the role of the business analyst in gathering requirements, requirements engineering processes, skills needed by business analysts, defining the product vision, making assumptions, and using workshops to encourage stakeholder collaboration. The questions test understanding of these concepts from the textbook chapters referenced in each question.
Choices
The document contains multiple choice and true/false questions about software requirements and business analysis. Some key points addressed include:
- Requirement development involves elicitation, analysis, and specification.
- Gold plating occurs when a developer adds functionality that was not in the original requirements.
- Stakeholders are people or groups involved in or affected by a project.
- Requirements elicitation techniques include adopting templates, defining acceptance criteria, and defining the project vision and scope.
- Workshops, interviews, and observations are effective ways to collect requirements in a large company.
- A requirement baseline is a set of agreed upon requirements that serves as the basis for future development.
-
Atm
The software will control a simulated ATM that can perform cash withdrawals and deposits, money transfers, and balance inquiries for customers. A customer inserts their ATM card and enters their PIN for validation before selecting a transaction type. Approved transactions dispense cash, accept deposits, or display account balances/transfers. The ATM communicates with the bank for verification of each transaction and maintains an internal log for troubleshooting.
Software Requirements (3rd Edition) summary
The document discusses software requirements from the perspective of customers and stakeholders. It defines key terms like business requirements, functional requirements, and non-functional requirements. It emphasizes the importance of frequent engagement with customers to understand their needs and manage expectations. This ensures the developed software closely matches what customers require rather than making assumptions. The document also discusses identifying all relevant stakeholders to obtain a full picture of requirements, such as direct users, indirect users, and others affected by the system.

Educational Audience Response System: An educational framework for modern classrooms
https://github.com/ahmedengu/EduARS
Owasp & php
The document discusses several common web application vulnerabilities:
1) Cross-site scripting (XSS) occurs when untrusted data is sent to the browser without validation or escaping, allowing attackers to execute scripts in a victim's browser.
2) Insecure direct object references happen when an application exposes internal object references without access control, enabling attackers to access unauthorized resources.
3) Security misconfiguration often results from failing to secure the full technology stack, which can lead to application and server compromise.
4) Missing function level access control occurs when an application fails to validate access at the function level after validating in the UI, allowing forged requests to restricted functions.
Functional reactive programming
Functional reactive programming combines functional programming and reactive programming. Functional programming avoids mutable state and side effects through referential transparency and reusable functions. Reactive programming builds reactive systems through asynchronous data streams and treating everything as a stream. Observables are the core component, representing a stream of data over time, and operators allow querying, transforming, and combining observables. RxJS is a popular library for implementing functional reactive programming.
Design patterns
This document discusses the design patterns used in the Lexi document editor. It describes problems related to document structure, formatting, user interface, multiple platforms, and user operations. Patterns used include Composite to represent document structure, Strategy for formatting algorithms, Decorator for embellishing the UI, Abstract Factory for look and feel, Bridge for multiple platforms, Command for undoable operations, Iterator for traversal, and Visitor for analysis capabilities. The goal was to design for flexibility, independence of components, and extensibility.
Tcp congestion avoidance
TCP provides reliable data transmission through mechanisms like the three-way handshake, congestion control using AIMD, and fast retransmit. However, it is vulnerable to attacks like RST injection to terminate connections or FIN scans to detect open ports. Defenses include randomizing sequence numbers, stateful firewalls to validate packets, and intrusion detection systems to detect scanning behaviors.
Offline db
The document discusses offline data persistence methods and tools. It defines persistent data and contrasts it with dynamic data. It explains CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations and how they map to SQL and HTTP methods. It also discusses solutions for enabling offline data features in richer clients using local databases and real-time data synchronization. Finally, it evaluates some proprietary and open source tools for offline data persistence and synchronization including Firebase, Hoodie, and PouchDB.
Secure mobile payment
Mobile payment systems allow consumers to make purchases using a mobile device instead of cash, checks, or credit cards. There are various mobile payment models including mobile wallets, card-based payments, carrier billing, and contactless payments using near-field communication (NFC). Both secure elements and host-based card emulation can securely store payment credentials, though secure elements provide stronger isolation of sensitive data. Early mobile payment systems were vulnerable to relay attacks and weaknesses in PIN storage, but providers have implemented encryption, tokenization, and other techniques to enhance security over time.
Mining apps for anomalies
The document discusses mining apps to detect abnormal behavior. It describes how app mining leverages common patterns across thousands of apps to learn what normal behavior is and identify anomalies. The document introduces CHABADA, a tool that detects mismatches between an app's behavior and description by analyzing APIs and clustering apps by topic. While app stores provide a treasure trove of data, obstacles include limited access to apps, metadata, and developer information.
[Software Requirements] Chapter 20: Agile Projects
This document discusses agile project management. It defines agile as encouraging continuous collaboration and frequent delivery of useful functionality. Common agile methods include scrum, extreme programming, lean software development, and feature-driven development. Agile aims to produce higher quality work faster and cheaper compared to traditional approaches. Requirements in agile focus on customer involvement, minimal documentation, prioritizing a backlog of user stories and features, and expecting frequent changes. The document provides guidance on adapting requirements practices for agile projects.

Week 6 planning
- 1. Week 6: Planning Research Methods: An Engineering Approach
- 2. Agenda ▪ Non-linear Planning ▪ Planning for the Objective ▪ Feedback Processes ▪ Incremental Construction
- 3. Non-linear Planning ▪ You have a limited time ▪ There is a lot to do (analyzing, developing, writing) ▪ research process is not straightforward ▪ research take longer time than planned ▪ New knowledge evidence is not trivial
- 4. Gantt Chart • Not a good tool for research planning • It’s a linear planning tool • Research is nonlinear • Don’t use time as the planning variable • Use Gantt chart with procedural work or if it’s a requirement of applying for an application
- 5. Planning for the Objective • An alternative to Gantt chart where time doesn’t drive the process • New knowledge and contribution drive the process • Can you estimate where you are and where you final objective is? • Do you have confidence in your estimate ? • Are you planning the correct activates?
- 6. Feedback Processes ▪ How to know where are you on the plan on a regular basis? ▪ With traditional plans we get feedback at the end when its too late to do anything about it, it take longer time. ▪ Track you discoveries and their significance continually so you can adapt to changes as you progress ▪ Discoveries are coming from writing ▪ Significance is coming from the feedback of the community
- 7. Feedback Processes Research problem New knowledge requirement Research action New knowledge * On traditional linear research plan you write at the end.
- 8. Feedback Processes Research problem New knowledge requirement Research action New knowledge * You want to be writing continuously and not only at the end.
- 9. Feedback Processes Research problem New knowledge requirement Research action New knowledge * Significance and contribution are determined when others get to see it. Acceptance: Peer review
- 10. Feedback Processes Research problem New knowledge requirement Research action New knowledge * You need to be writing and showing your work continually. Acceptance: Peer review Knowledge production (Writing) Acceptance (Peers)
- 11. Incremental Construction ▪ Make a small piece of knowledge and then grow the scope and significance, rather than trying to do it all in one go. ▪ Our time resource is often limited and we do not want to overrun the time. ▪ Either we overrun on the time if the outcome is fixed or we limit the outcome if the time is fixed. ▪ This approach tries to reduce the risk of overrunning the time. ▪ You always know where you are on that research plane of knowledge. ▪ At some point all what you need to do is stop. Your paper is finished. • Every week you completely write your paper. • From start to finish. • From objective to new knowledge (knowledge will be small, but will grow with time) • Every few week update your paper what is the minimum viable argument that you can define?
