Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 11Industry Oriented Advanced Software Engineering Education Curriculum(Fac Teacher Education, 2012) Mishra, Alok; Mishra, Deepti; Computer Engineering; Software EngineeringSoftware engineering is the fastest-evolving engineering discipline and most of the tasks of software development organizations are diverse in nature. Various studies have shown that there is a wide gap between software industry needs and education for prospective software engineers. It is the responsibility of Software engineering education to prepare SE professionals by providing them with the skills to meet the expectations of the software industry. SE curriculum should correspond to the industry needs, and only then can Universities produce highly skilled professionals, who can meet the needs of software industry. During the last decade, software engineering education (SEE) has been emerging as an independent and mature discipline. Accordingly, various studies are being conducted to provide guidelines for SEE curriculum design. This paper summarizes the need for software industry related courses and discusses the significance of industry oriented software engineering education to meet the educational objectives of all stakeholders. The software industry oriented curriculum for undergraduate and graduate levels is discussed. An industry oriented graduate level (master's level) software engineering course which includes foundational and applied courses to provide effective training for future software engineers is also proposed. This will lead to an increase in their employment prospects in the industrial and allied sectors.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 7Erp System Implementation in Fmcg Sector(Univ Osijek, Tech Fac, 2010) Mishra, Alok; Mishra, Deepti; Computer Engineering; Software EngineeringToday's businesses have become extremely complex.

The main expected benefits from distributed software development are improvements in development time efficiency, being close to the customers and having flexible access to greater and less costly resources. Organizations require to use their existing resources as effectively as possible, and also need to employ resources on a global scale from different sites within the organization and from partner organization throughout the world. However, distributed software development particularly face communication and coordination problems due to spatial, temporal and cultural separation between team members. Ensuring quality issues in such projects is a significant issue. This paper presents global software inspection process in the distributed software development environment towards quality assurance and management.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 5Measuring Project and Quality Aspects in Agile Software Development(Drunpp-sarajevo, 2012) Mishra, Deepti; Balcioglu, Eda; Mishra, Alok; Computer Engineering; Software EngineeringConstructivism is a cognitive theory that emphasizes that learners construct new knowledge by rearranging and refining their existing knowledge. Agile :software development methods follows this approach of learning as software is developed in short iterations and agile team incorporated all new knowledge gained through feedbacks from preceeding iterations. Agile software development methods are different from traditional software development methods and therefore, metrics proposed for projects using traditional software development methods are not fit to use in agile software development projects. In this paper, new metrics are proposed that can measure the progress and quality of the Product in agile software development projects. The proposed metrics are also compared with existing agile metrics.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 16Improving Baggage Tracking, Security and Customer Services With Rfid in the Airline Industry(Budapest Tech, 2010) Mishra, Deepti; Mishra, Alok; Computer Engineering; Software EngineeringRadio frequency identification (RFID) has been identified as one of the ten greatest contributory technologies of the 21(st) Century. This technology has found a rapidly growing market, and an increasing variety of enterprises are employing RFID to improve the efficiency of their operations and to gain competitive advantage. In the aviation industry, major airports/airlines have been looking for the opportunity to adopt RFID in the area of baggage handling for a long time. Many pilot tests have been done at numerous US., European, and Hong Kong airports. RFID tags were found to be far more accurate than bar codes, and their performance was also measured to be well above that of bar codes. This paper presents the state of RFID adoption planning, architecture and implementation at a major airline, with a special focus on improved services due to improved baggage handling, on increased airport/airline security and on frequent flier program services. This is accomplished by integrating RFID technology together with networking and database technologies.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 14Green Information Technology/Information System Education: Curriculum Views(Drunpp-sarajevo, 2012) Mishra, Alok; Yazici, Ali; Mishra, Deepti; Computer Engineering; Software EngineeringGreen information technology (Green IT) is an emerging discipline and issues related with it are of growing concern for the business, social and environmental impact in the 21st century. Sustainability is becoming an important topic in IT to safeguard our future, and as evolving market segment. Recently more specific focus on "greening" information technology (IT) and information systems (IS) has been evident all over the world. An increase in green jobs is also occurring with many of those associated with information technology. The main constraint with green jobs related with IT or otherwise, is finding educated and qualified professionals. Due to this, there is a growing demand for green computing/information technology/information system education. The objective of this paper is to review such an available green IT/IS curriculum recently introduced by leading universities and organizations.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 3A Legal Business Information System: Implementation Process Context(Budapest Tech, 2011) Mishra, Alok; Mishra, Deepti; Computer Engineering; Software EngineeringInformation Technology (IT) is fast becoming useful in implementing time, case, manpower and cost management strategies within judicial services.
