Software Engineering (SE) is a discipline, concept, method that focus on all aspects related to software production. SE must adapt organized system and approach in building software. The objective of this article is to discuss needs elicitation in SE, so that the design can be done through utilizing appropriate tools and techniques based on the problem to be solved, restrictions and need that must be met, as well as resource availability. The method used in this article is literature review as a major source of problem analysis. In the next phase, the main topic of the article is clarified, validated, and verified by the model of the Focus Group Discussion (FGD). The respondents of FGD are lecturers of Informatics Department at UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung. Requirements elicitation is in-dept and comprehensive process of finding information from all stakeholders in relation to the built software. The result of requirements elicitation is the explanation from every stakeholder with natural language related to the will and interest of the built software. The mechanism of finding information can be done through observation, questionnaire, interview, and documentary study, which are then tested with data validation and verification in FGD. The product of requirements elicitation is the User Requirement Document (URD) that can be used as an early artifact in software development process. Furthermore, URD is used as a reference in tracking the suitability between the function of software and the needs of stakeholder. This article formulated analysis approach of SE need, so that it is easily modified, adaptive to growing software complexity, and connected with the analysis of hardware.

Higher education over the past decade has experienced several view changes that include: paradigm shift, management and competition changes, and so forth. The only university supported by the excellent IT that will be able to enhance and maintain its advantages. The purpose of this article is reviewing the strategic design of IT implementation at the university.  The analysis used to reveal the fact, problem and problem-solving in this article adopts the model of Strategic Management of Information Technology (SMIT) developed by Flodström.  The strategy design of IT implementation based on the competitive environment of UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung is coordinated with its business strategy. The role of IT as an enabler or tool that allow the university to be able to create cheaper-better-faster educational process. In this article, there are designed two types of IT Functions: back office and front office. For back office application function, there is a software management with specific modules to support the implementation of university management. In the front office function of IT usage, there are some types of IT usage concepts that directly and indirectly affect the way of establishing education that leads to quality improvement which can be implemented through: media simulation, course management, virtual class, computer-based training (CBT), knowledge portal and cyber community.  The strategic design of IT implementation presented in this article is a generic model of the plan, design, and implementation of IT in the object of study.

The aim of this research is to determine the weight from determinant factors in developing organic farming in Garut District, West Java, Indonesia. Determinant factor in the research are determined based on judgment from the respondent. Determinant factors in developing farming are classified by some aspects such as technology, social and politic, economic and environment. The weight of each factor is counted by using weight method based on Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) Model. The result of synthesis shows that respondents prefer organic farming method than conventional method. However, to implement organic farming extensively needs program or policy support from stakeholders on subcriteria who tend to make organic farming better. The programs including orientation on quantity improvement in organic farming yield, provision of equipments, and raw materials, farmer's performance, financial support, provision of market, and decreasing organic farming business risk.
