Supply chain management is comprehensive software. Due to its scope and unpredictable, complex and unstable requirements, it is not possible to develop it with predictable development process models. Agile methodologies are targeted towards such kind of problems that involves change and uncertainty, and are adaptive rather than predictive. The aim of this paper is to analyze the management and development methodologies used in development of supply chain management software. This paper shows how to overcome risks and handicaps in each development phase of a complex inventive project. It also provides a set of guidelines regarding how the agile methods may be adopted, combined and used in these kinds of projects.

Adapting Test-Driven Development for Innovative Software Development Project
(Springer-verlag Berlin, 2007) Mishra, Deepti; Mishra, Alok
In Test-Driven development, first test is made according to the customer requirement and then code is prepared to execute this test successfully. In this approach, design is not done exclusively before preparing test cases and coding. Design emerges as software evolves but this may result in lack of design quality. We adapted TDD by incorporating exclusive architectural design phase in the successful implementation of an innovative, large scale, complex project.

Applications of Stakeholder Theory in Information Systems and Technology
(Kaunas Univ Technol, 2013) Mishra, Alok; Mishra, Deepti
Stakeholder theory has its origins in management literature. Preston (1999) traces the notion of stakeholders back to the great depression in the United States (1929-1941), when the General Electric company defined four major stakeholder groups - shareholders, employees, customers, and the general public. Stakeholder management has become an important tool to transfer ethics to management practice and strategy. Few management topics have generated more debate in recent decades than the underlying notion, the model and the theories surrounding stakeholders (Donaldson and Preston, 1995; Gibson, 2000; Wolfe and Putler, 2002; Friedman and Miles, 2006). The visual power of the stakeholder model and its high simplicity are seen as contributors to the success of the stakeholder concept (Fassin, 2008). An increasing interrelation is observed between the concepts of stakeholder theory, corporate responsibility, and business ethics (Valor, 2005; Garriga et al., 2004). The stakeholder approach in the organization integrates stakeholder relationships within a company's resource base, industry setting, and socio-political arena into a single analytical framework (Susniene & Sargunas, 2009). Mumford (1979) is one of the early researchers in supporting the involvement of end-users as a component of effective information systems development and implementation, using essentially the stakeholder concept in this domain. It has been proved that end-users and managers are very important towards successful system implementation. As more interorganizational information systems are developed which usually involve strategic decisions, a yet wider range of stakeholders needs to be involved (Pouloudi, 1999). In these systems the attention may switch from end-users and focus on those parties that are external to the organization, but who can also be associated in decision making at a managerial or strategic level (Pouloudi & Whitely, 1997). One of the most thorough investigations of the stakeholder concept in information systems research that relates information systems stakeholders with implementation failure was made as an early work by Lyytinen and Hirschheim (1987, 1988). They argue that failure is conditional on the capability of information system to meet the expectations of different stakeholders - i.e. to say an information system may be considered successful by some stakeholder but a failure by others. The concept of stakeholder represents a progression from developer - and user - centered problems to organization-wide and inter organizational information system problems. This is a sign of maturity of information systems research to show how holistic representation of the parties involved in the more complex systems currently developed (Pouloudi, 1999). Stakeholder theory proposes an ethical use of stakeholder concept in Information systems as ethical considerations and professional conduct is a significant issue in information system. The stakeholder theory is extensively used in management in investigating organizational ambiance, strategic management, ethical concerns, business planning process, e-government, project management, environment management, etc. Recently stakeholders are also seen as means to more successful information and communication technologies and information system development and implementation issues. The paper presents stakeholder theory, its origin and applications in Information Systems (IS) field in the literature. The main objective of this research is to build up the knowledge body of stakeholder applications in information systems and technology areas.

An Architectural Model for System of Information Systems
(Springer int Publishing Ag, 2015) Majd, Saleh; Marie-Helene, Abel; Mishra, Alok
One of the most important aspects when designing and constructing an Information System is its architecture. This also applies to complex systems such as System of Information Systems (SoIS). Thus, we aim to propose an architectural model of System of Information Systems (SoIS). Though Architecture-based approaches have been promoted as a means of controlling the complexity of systems construction and evolution, what we really look for in this paper is an architectural model to aggregate services from already constructed systems. Nevertheless, it would be a good practice to compare the presented architecture of SoIS to other architecture-based approaches such as Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). Also, it is beneficial to examine how we can use the well-established standards of SOA for the designing of SoIS. In this paper we present an architectural model for System of Information Systems, and highlight the standards of Service Oriented Architecture that might help us in this task.

Attributes Impacting Cybersecurity Policy Development: an Evidence From Seven Nations
(Elsevier Advanced Technology, 2022) Mishra, Alok; Alzoubi, Yehia Ibrahim; Anwar, Memoona Javeria; Gill, Asif Qumer
Cyber threats have risen as a result of the growing usage of the Internet. Organizations must have effec-tive cybersecurity policies in place to respond to escalating cyber threats. Individual users and corpora-tions are not the only ones who are affected by cyber-attacks; national security is also a serious concern. Different nations' cybersecurity rules make it simpler for cybercriminals to carry out damaging actions while making it tougher for governments to track them down. Hence, a comprehensive cybersecurity policy is needed to enable governments to take a proactive approach to all types of cyber threats. This study investigates cybersecurity regulations and attributes used in seven nations in an attempt to fill this research gap. This paper identified fourteen common cybersecurity attributes such as telecommunication, network, Cloud computing, online banking, E-commerce, identity theft, privacy, and smart grid. Some na-tions seemed to focus, based on the study of key available policies, on certain cybersecurity attributes more than others. For example, the USA has scored the highest in terms of online banking policy, but Canada has scored the highest in terms of E-commerce and spam policies. Identifying the common poli-cies across several nations may assist academics and policymakers in developing cybersecurity policies. A survey of other nations' cybersecurity policies might be included in the future research.(c) 2022 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Automatic Classification of UML Class Diagrams Using Deep Learning Technique: Convolutional Neural Network
(Mdpi, 2021) Gosala, Bethany; Chowdhuri, Sripriya Roy; Singh, Jyoti; Gupta, Manjari; Mishra, Alok
Unified Modeling Language (UML) includes various types of diagrams that help to study, analyze, document, design, or develop any software efficiently. Therefore, UML diagrams are of great advantage for researchers, software developers, and academicians. Class diagrams are the most widely used UML diagrams for this purpose. Despite its recognition as a standard modeling language for Object-Oriented software, it is difficult to learn. Although there exist repositories that aids the users with the collection of UML diagrams, there is still much more to explore and develop in this domain. The objective of our research was to develop a tool that can automatically classify the images as UML class diagrams and non-UML class diagrams. Earlier research used Machine Learning techniques for classifying class diagrams. Thus, they are required to identify image features and investigate the impact of these features on the UML class diagrams classification problem. We developed a new approach for automatically classifying class diagrams using the approach of Convolutional Neural Network under the domain of Deep Learning. We have applied the code on Convolutional Neural Networks with and without the Regularization technique. Our tool receives JPEG/PNG/GIF/TIFF images as input and predicts whether it is a UML class diagram image or not. There is no need to tag images of class diagrams as UML class diagrams in our dataset.

Communications in Global Software Development: an Empirical Study Using Gtk Plus Oss Repository
(Springer-verlag Berlin, 2011) Yu, Liguo; Ramaswamy, Srini; Mishra, Alok; Mishra, Deepti
Effective communication is an important issue for global software development. Due to geographical limitations and travel challenges, face-to-face meetings are expensive to schedule and run. Web-based communication methods are thus the primary means of communication in global software development efforts. In general. two types of web-based communication mechanisms exist: synchronous and asynchronous communications: each serves a unique role. In this paper, we present an empirical study of the communication mechanisms in GNOME GTK+, a small-sized open-source distributed software project, in which Internet Relay Chat (IRC) and Mailing Lists are used as synchronous and asynchronous communication methods, respectively. The objective of this study is to identify how real time and asynchronous communication methods could be used and balanced across global software development projects.

Comparing the Artifacts of Agent Methodologies
(Assoc information Communication Technology Education & Science, 2018) Abdalla, Reem; Mishra, Alok
Agent-oriented software engineering (AOSE) systems are often distinguished from each other based on intelligence, autonomy, and reasoning. In this recpect, agent methodologies aim to covering all important components needed to build software systems. The success of agent methodologies depends on the development of all the necessary processes within different software stages, such as analysis, design, implementation, testing and maintenance. This work introduces a comparative study of agent approches with the purpose to asseses and compare the development lifecycle processes of four different well-known AOSE methodologies, ADELFE, PASSI, Gaia and O-MaSE to define the similarities and differences between them. We can conclude that, the development of standard agent approach that supports Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) based has become an urgent need.

Complex Software Project Development: Agile Methods Adoption
(Wiley, 2011) Mishra, Deepti; Mishra, Alok
The Agile Software Development paradigm has become increasingly popular in the last few years, since it claims lower costs, better productivity, better quality and better business satisfaction. Supply chain management (SCM) is a complex software development project. Owing to its scope and uncertain, complex and unstable requirements, it is not possible to develop it with predictable software development process models. Agile methodologies are targeted toward such kinds of problems that involve change and uncertainty, and are adaptive rather than predictive. How an agile process is introduced will significantly impact the implementation success of the process change. The objective of this paper is to analyze the agile development methodologies and management approach used in developing a complex software project. This further demonstrates how to overcome risks and barriers in each development phase of such complex inventive software projects. It also provides a set of guidelines regarding how the agile methodologies can be adopted, combined and used in these kinds of complex software projects. These findings have implications for software engineers and managers developing software by agile methods. Copyright (C) 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

(Mdpi, 2021) Ibrahim, Thaer; Mishra, Alok
Disasters pose a real threat to the lives and property of citizens; therefore, it is necessary to reduce their impact to the minimum possible. In order to achieve this goal, a framework for enhancing the current disaster management system was proposed, called the smart disaster management system. The smart aspect of this system is due to the application of the principles of information and communication technology, especially the Internet of Things. All participants and activities of the proposed system were clarified by preparing a conceptual design by using The Unified Modeling Language diagrams. This effort was made to overcome the lack of citizens' readiness towards the use of information and communication technology as well as increase their readiness towards disasters. This study aims to develop conceptual design that can facilitate in development of smart management system for flooding disaster. This will assist in the design process of the Internet of Things systems in this regard.
