Factors influencing learning effectiveness among students with special needs in Design and Visual Communication course: a case study
No full textAs part of their social obligation to the nation, polytechnics in Malaysia offer selected certificate level programs to students with special need. Considering that these students require special education for effective learning, it is important to ensure that teaching and learning process for this group of students is carried out successfully. This study aims to explore factors that influence learning effectiveness among these students. Survey questionnaires were distributed to 27 students with special needs who were in their fourth semester at the Department of Design and Visual Communication. The data were then analysed using SPSS version 16. This study found that interpreters can increase the effectiveness of teaching and learning in the classroom. Factors related to course suitability need to be considered to ensure that it is appropriate to the level and ability of this group. Besides, learning facilities specifically for students with special needs should be provided to facilitate effective learning among them
Academic career in the Malaysian higher education: becoming a professor
No full textThe promotion to a full professor is the ultimate achievement in the career development of an academic. However, little has been written about the promotion process to a full professor.It has become a common understanding that the criteria for promotion in academic career centres primarily on teaching, research and service. However, due to the changing landscape of higher education shaped by the ease of mobility, internationalisation and emphasis on knowledge society, the promotion criteria has become more diversedand complex.This paper aims to explore the academic career, particularly the profile of a professor within the context of Malaysian higher education. Further, recognising that the higher education policy has an impact on the academic career, the discussion takes into consideration the strategic plan of the national higher education transformation and the guidelines for the tenure and promotion of two categories of professor: the professor and distinguished professor. This discussion is timely, as it will provide guidance for young academics to strategise their career planning in achieving the highest position in their career

A review on tool supports for security requirements engineering
No full textCapturing the right security requirements is crucial when developing a security software. Poor elicited security requirements can lead to a failure in software development, thus it needs to be accurately defined. This study evaluates various security requirement engineering tools and analyses the existing gaps in security requirement engineering tools. Based on a literature search conducted manually, we report our findings from the review and analysis of different studies of security requirements engineering tool. Consequently, the gaps and motivations found from this literature study are discussed. Future directions of this study is to develop a more useful tool that can perform a better function in capturing security requirements are also discussed
Automatic Acceptance Test Case Generation From Essential Use Cases
Full text linkRequirements validation is a crucial process to determine whether client-stakeholders’ needs and expectations of a product are sufficiently correct and complete. Various requirements validation techniques have been used to
evaluate the correctness and quality of requirements, but most of these techniques are tedious, expensive and time consuming. Accordingly, most project members are reluctant to invest their time and efforts in the requirements validation process.Moreover, automated tool supports that promote effective collaboration between
the client-stakeholders and the engineers are still lacking. In this paper, we describe a novel approach that combines prototyping and test-based requirements techniques to improve the requirements validation process and promote better communication and collaboration between requirements engineers and clientstakeholders. To justify the potential of this prototype tool, we also present three types of evaluation conducted on the prototpye tool, which are the usability survey,
3-tool comparison analysis and expert reviews
THE NEEDS OF CLINICAL DOMAIN LIBRARY FOR ELICITING ACCURATE CLINICAL REQUIREMENTS
Full text linkIssues in misinterpretation of terms and miscommunication with stakeholders still persist
although there are various approaches and tools available to elicit and capture accurate requirements.
Specifically in healthcare domain, these issues need serious attention considering that there are myriad
complex medical terminologies, unfamiliar to most requirements engineers. Further, accurate terms and
words need to be captured as misinterpretations in eliciting requirements may lead to harmful
consequences to human’s lives and well-being. This paper presents two preliminary studies that compare
the difficulties in eliciting clinical and business requirements. Based on a survey conducted with 20
respondents, it was found that eliciting clinical functional requirements is more difficult than the business
requirements. Similar findings were also drawn from interviews conducted with 5 experienced
requirements engineers. They also claimed that a clinical domain library could help them to elicit accurate
functional requirements. The domain library should also have e several functions that can be used to
facilitate the elicitation of accurate functional requirements
A Pair-oriented Requirements Engineering Approach for Analysing Multi-lingual Requirements
Full text linkRequirements written in multiple languages can lead to errorproneness,inconsistency and incorrectness. In a Malaysian setting, software engineers are exposed to both Malay and English requirements. This can be a
challenging task for them especially when capturing and analyzing requirements. Further, they face difficulties to model requirements using semi-formal or formal models. This paper introduces a new approach, Pair-Oriented Requirements
Engineering (PORE) that uses an Essential Use Case (EUC) model
to capture and analyze multi-lingual requirements. This approach is intended to
assist practitioners in developing correct and consistent requirements as well as developing teamwork skills. Two quasi-experiment studies involving 80 participants
in the first study and 38 participants in a subsequent study were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of this approach with respect to correctness
and time spent in capturing multi-lingual requirements. It was found that PORE improves accuracy and hence helps users perform better in developing high quality requirements models
VALIDATION OF SECURITY REQUIREMENTS FOR MOBILE APPLICATION: A STUDY
Full text linkThe increased usage of 3G and 4G networks in smartphones has resulted in the need for
validating security requirement to ensure safe and secure mobile application experience to users. However,
improper validation of security requirements can lead to poor quality of software development. This is also
commonly happened while developing software application for mobile. Thus, this paper discusses the gaps
found from the existing work on validating the security requirements of mobile application and analyses a
few security requirement engineering tools for mobile application that exist in the market for commercial
or research purposes. We report our findings from review and analysis of different studies on security
requirement engineering for mobile application. The strengths and weaknesses of the features and utility
are also presented to provide further understanding of the gaps and weaknesses of each tool. We conclude
that these tools are still immature and need further improvements
