Barriers to implementation of IT in educational institutions

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to identify the most significant barriers to successful implementation of information technology (IT) in higher educational institutions (HEIs) of India. Although, educational institutions are investing in IT, they have been not been able to leverage it the same way as other business organizations. The present investigation will assist the management of HEIs to distinguish the key barriers affecting productive IT implementations and further take appropriate measures to deal with it. Design/methodology/approach – For the purpose of the study, focus group and semi-structured interviews were conducted with academicians, administrators, functional heads, and IT staff from various HEIs of India. This research attempts to discover the major barriers to successful implementation of IT in HEIs using an interpretive structural modeling (ISM) methodology. Furthermore, structural analysis and classification of barriers is done using MICMAC analysis. Findings – The results ident...

Analysis of Software Repositories Using Process Mining

Software repositories such as Issue Tracking Systems (ITS) log bug history that contains important information about the activities followed during bug resolution. Mining of ITS can provide useful insights of such processes. This study uses process mining to extract knowledge from the event logs recorded in bug history report of ITS Monorail to determine the as-is process model. This study will help in identifying the kind and source of inefficiencies and inconsistencies and eventually help improving the software bug resolution process.

Anatomization of Software Quality Factors: Measures and Metrics

“If you cannot measure it, you cannot manage it”, this quote by Lord Kelvin is very much applicable to the world of Software Quality as well. Quality of software can be described as the extent to which it performs the task that the user has specified. It can be expressed in terms of multiple factors like reliability, readability, supportability et al. It can be best described as the amalgamation of these multiple factors. Not only the identification of factors but also of the metrics and measures were done by studying and analyzing various research papers and keeping them as the primary foundation. This paper focus on investigating the measures that is already available to determine the different quality factors. The results obtained are advantageous for software developers, researchers and academicians to recognize and distinguish the cadent used to dimension the different quality characteristics of the software. Moreover, the work focuses at giving some suggestions, using the potential deficiencies detected as a foundation.

Framework for augmenting security systems at airports

Terrorist threats and narcotics are the major security concerns in India. The ease with which the terrorists and smugglers travel inter and intra countries using fake identifications, visas, falsely generated immigration documents and tampered passports is a scenario that is a huge challenge to various countries and they are finding a solution to combat the same. The present checks at the airports are reliable but not autonomously reliable. There are still reports of security breaches, plane hijacking and smuggling, etc. The obnoxious fact is that we cannot just depend on the existing security system as we solely trust the optikos of a human being that can be deceived. Hence, there is need for the airport authorities to reengineer their security system to restrict the infiltrators. Identifying individuals before they board the plane is crucial to ensure safety of passengers and therefore high security at airports has become apparent. The objective of the paper is to establish a security framework that would not be swindled under any circumstances and one that performs unequivocal identification of passengers.
