​

Paper Synopsis: This paper provides a high-level understanding of how the Internet of Things (IoT), alongside service-oriented computing  (SOC), will be a powerful tool to improve supply chain operations. The paper details how digital technologies for industry-specific data management practices (e.g., Big Data Analytics, Machine Learning, and Sensor Technologies) provide efficient, real-time, secure data analysis services for the IoT. As the number of IoT devices increases, IoT system generates massive, diverse, and multisource datasets that can be used to improve IoT services further. Models trained by intelligent computing from a single system of sensors are often not global, and sending all data directly to the computing platforms wastes network bandwidth and may cause network congestion and even privacy leakage. In order to ensure IoT applications' quality of service and privacy, the authors propose a framework that integrates edge computing to provide lightweight data fusion and secure data analysis for IoT. The lightweight data fusion method can reduce the amount of data at the node level and prevent network congestion and bandwidth waste. The paper reviews some of the essential characteristics of IoT technology for designing a "Sensing Enterprise (SE)" in supply chain data management with the help of SOC infrastructure.

ABSTRACT

​

People work in software development projects to bundle the human resources and use the systematic approach to share software system development knowledge. One can view knowledge as personalized that is related to facts, procedures, concepts, interpretations, ideas, and judgments. This way, knowledge is the outcome of the cognitive processing of information. Knowledge can be transferred from a source to a receiver. The collaborative knowledge-sharing mechanism is known as "knowledge management" (KM) in the software industry. The software developers can communicate with, learn from, and solve problems with other participating team members. The organizational culture is a crucial factor that impacts knowledge management success since it influences how team members learn and share knowledge. This chapter presents a case study that aimed to compare, in practice, the relationship between the KM cycle (SECI - Socialization, Externalization, Combination, and Internalization model) and the organizational culture through the competing value framework (CVF).

​

ABSTRACT

Agile software development methodologies are attracting attention from academics and practitioners for planning and managing software projects. The eXtreme Programming (XP), part of agile methodologies, is challenging conformist wisdom regarding software system development processes and practices. To manage efficiently in the current software development practice, characterized by requirements fuzziness, XP moves away from document-centric processes into people-centric ones. In the XP-based software project, the customers play a critical role, having multiple responsibilities such as driving the project, gathering requirements ('user stories), and exercising quality (or acceptance testing). Besides, the customers require to liaise with external project stakeholders (e.g., funding authorities, end-users) while gaining the development team's trust and the wider business. The success of such software project practices relies on the quality result of each stage of development obtained through rigorous testing. The chapter presents an overview of the XP software development process and its customers' role.

ABSTRACT

Software development is a knowledge-intensive practice. Software development teams rely on human resources and systematic approaches to share knowledge on system design. This collaborative knowledge sharing and preserving mechanism is known as "Knowledge management" in software industries. In the software development process, coordination of system design functionalities requires knowledge-sharing infrastructure within the team members. Semantic web service computing (SWSC) provides opportunities and value-added service capabilities that global software development team requires to exchange information. This chapter describes the features of an ontology-based web portal framework, called CKIA (Collaborative Knowledge Integration Architecture), for integrating distributed knowledge in a global software development project. The CKIA framework uses a hybrid knowledge-based system consisting of Structural Case-Based Reasoning (S-CBR), Rule-Based Reasoning (RBR), and an ontology-based concept similarity assessment mechanism. A business scenario is used to present some functionalities of the framework.

ABSTRACT

The adoption of agility at a large scale often requires the integration of agile and non-agile development practices into hybrid software development and delivery environment. This chapter addresses software testing-related issues for Agile software application development. Currently, the umbrella of Agile Methodologies (e.g., Scrum, Extreme Programming, Development, and Operation - DevOps) have become the preferred tools for modern software development. These methodologies emphasize iterative and incremental development, where both the requirements and solutions evolve through the collaboration between cross-functional teams. The success of such practices relies on the quality result of each stage of development, obtained through rigorous testing. This chapter introduces the principles of software testing within the context of Scrum/DevOps-based software development.

ABSTRACT

Agile methodologies have become the preferred choice for modern software development. These methodologies focus on iterative and incremental development, where both requirements and solutions evolve through collaboration between cross-functional software development teams. The success of such a software system is based on the quality result of each stage of development with appropriate testing practice. A software testing ontology should represent the required software testing knowledge in the context of the software tester. The reuse of test cases is an effective way to improve the testing of software. The workload of a software tester for test-case generation can be improved, previous experience in testing software can be shared, and test efficiency can be increased by automating software testing. This chapter introduces a software testing framework (STF) that uses rule-based reasoning (RBR), case-based reasoning (CBR), and ontology-based semantic similarity assessment to retrieve the test cases from the case library. Finally, experimental results are used to illustrate some of the functionalities of the framework.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS OF DISTRIBUTED SYSTEM

​

As a result of changes in the economic, environmental, and business environments, modern industries appear to be riskier than ever before, which created a need for improving their operational practice, privacy, and security. First, the increasingly global economy both produces and depends on people's free flow, goods, and information. Second, disasters have increased in number and intensity during the recent decades. Natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, or pandemics (e.g., coronavirus or COVID-19) strike more often and have a more significant economic impact. Simultaneously, the number of human-made disasters such as industrial sabotage, wars, and terrorist attacks that affect industries' supply chain networks has increased. These factors have created significant challenges for industrial enterprise information systems, countries, and the global economic condition. Simply put, industrial information systems must deploy continuous improvement in business processes, which improve both supply chain activities execution and its security enhancement.

ABSTRACT

Internet of Things (IoT) aims to simplify the collection of the distributed data in a global manufacturing business, sharing, and processing of information and knowledge across many collaborating partners using appropriate information system architecture. As with the IoT, convergence with blockchain technology that processes data, privacy and security-related issues, and data policies (e.g., regulatory compliance) may apply to data and software artifacts. Besides, blockchain technology could contribute to the more intelligent and flexible handling of transactional data through appropriate convergence with IoT technology in supporting data integration and processing. This paper examines this hybrid architecture's privacy, security, and policy-related issues to appreciate the convergence and understand the integration of IoT and blockchain technology. This paper primarily identifies common trends focusing on relevant topics in blockchain-based IoT technology research and highlighting the need to explore security issues further - for example, data privacy challenges in the manufacturing industry.
