“…al. [18] describes an approach using simulated companies with component teams of five to seven students, but there is no figure given for the size of the companies. They are using the Spiral model, that is mostly iterative, and teams are self-organized as in the company approach.…”

Abstract-Teaching larger software engineering project courses at the end of a computing curriculum is a way for students to learn some aspects of real-world jobs in industry. Such courses, often referred to as capstone courses, are effective for learning how to apply the skills they have acquired in, for example, design, test, and configuration management. However, these courses are typically performed in small teams, giving only a limited realistic perspective of problems faced when working in real companies. This paper describes an alternative approach to classic capstone projects, with the aim of being more realistic from an organizational, process, and communication perspective. This methodology, called the company approach, is described by intended learning outcomes, teaching/learning activities, and assessment tasks. The approach is implemented and evaluated in a larger Master's student course.

“…Thus, the infrastructure must achieve strict Quality of Service (QoS) qualitative requirements [11], [12], inclusive of scalability, robustness, security, privacy and efficiency. The SANET infrastructure should support the process of software development by facilitating integration of components and reducing the accidental complexities related to heterogeneous environments in health institutions.…”

Abstract-This paper describes the adaptation of a computational technique utilizing Extended Kohonen Maps (EKMs) and Rao-Blackwell-Kolmogorov (R-B) Filtering mechanisms for the administration of Sensor-Actuator networks (SANETs). Inspired by the BDI (Belief-Desire-Intention) Agent model from Rao and Georgeff, EKMs perform the quantitative analysis of an algorithmic artificial neural network process by using an indirectmapping EKM to self-organize, while the Rao-Blackwell filtering mechanism reduces the external noise and interference in the problem set introduced through the self-organization process. Initial results demonstrate that a combinatorial approach to optimization with EKMs and Rao-Blackwell filtering provides an improvement in event trajectory approximation in comparison to standalone cooperative EKM processes to allow responsive event detection and optimization in patient healthcare.

“…The eight subjects themselves are Important as individual subjects are, it is the teaching and learning environment that is equally significant for the effective transmission and retention of learning. At UTS the philosophy of all engineering programs, undergraduate as well as postgraduate, is that it be practice based, where theory is informed by industrial and commercial practice (Chaczko et al 2004). This program has been recognized as embodying world leading standards and practices, the educators all having held positions in industry as well as undertaking research programs.…”
