Article Citation - WoS: 21Citation - Scopus: 34An Artificial Neural Network Model for Road Accident Prediction: a Case Study of a Developing Country(Budapest Tech, 2014) Ogwueleka, Francisca Nonyelum; Misra, Sanjay; Ogwueleka, Toochukwu Chibueze; Fernandez-Sanz, L.; Computer EngineeringRoad traffic accidents (RTA) are one of the major root causes of the unnatural loses of human beings all over the world. Although the rates of RTAs are decreasing in most developed countries, this is not the case in developing countries. The increase in the number of vehicles and inefficient drivers on the road, as well as to the poor conditions and maintenance of the roads, are responsible for this crisis in developing countries. In this paper, we produce a design of an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model for the analysis and prediction of accident rates in a developing country. We apply the most recent (1998 to 2010) data to our model. In the design, the number of vehicles, accidents, and population were selected and used as model parameters. The sigmoid and linear functions were used as activation functions with the feed forward-back propagation algorithm. The performance evaluation of the model signified that the ANN model is better than other statistical methods in use.Article Citation - WoS: 2Multi-Paradigm Metric and Its Applicability on Java Projects(Budapest Tech, 2013) Misra, Sanjay; Cafer, Ferid; Akman, Ibahim; Fernandez-Sanz, LuisJAVA is one of the favorite languages amongst software developers. However, the numbers of specific software metrics to evaluate the JAVA code are limited In this paper, we evaluate the applicability of a recently developed multi paradigm metric to JAVA projects. The experimentations show that the Multi paradigm metric is an effective measure for estimating the complexity of the JAVA code/projects, and therefore it can be used for controlling the quality of the projects. We have also evaluated the multi-paradigm metric against the principles of measurement theory.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 17Software Measurement Activities in Small and Medium Enterprises: an Empirical Assessment(Budapest Tech, 2011) Pusatli, O. Tolga; Misra, Sanjay; Computer EngineeringAn empirical study for evaluating the proper implementation of measurement/metric programs in software companies in one area of Turkey is presented. The research questions are discussed and validated with the help of senior software managers (more than 15 years' experience) and then used for interviewing a variety of medium and small scale software companies in Ankara. Observations show that there is a common reluctance/lack of interest in utilizing measurements/metrics despite the fact that they are well known in the industry. A side product of this research is that internationally recognized standards such as ISO and CMMI are pursued if they are a part of project/job requirements; without these requirements, introducing those standards to the companies remains as a long-term target to increase quality.Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 18Evaluation Criteria for Object-Oriented Metrics(Budapest Tech, 2011) Misra, Sanjay; Computer EngineeringIn this paper an evaluation model for object-oriented (OO) metrics is proposed. We have evaluated the existing evaluation criteria for OO metrics, and based on the observations, a model is proposed which tries to cover most of the features for the evaluation of OO metrics. The model is validated by applying it to existing OO metrics. In contrast to the other existing criteria, the proposed model is simple in implementation and includes the practical and important aspects of evaluation; hence it suitable to evaluate and validate any OO complexity metric.Article Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 22Anomaly Detection Using Fuzzy Q-Learning Algorithm(Budapest Tech, 2014) Shamshirband, Shahaboddin; Anuar, Nor Badrul; Kiah, Miss Laiha Mat; Misra, Sanjay; Computer EngineeringWireless networks are increasingly overwhelmed by Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks by generating flooding packets that exhaust critical computing and communication resources of a victim's mobile device within a very short period of time. This must be protected. Effective detection of DDoS attacks requires an adaptive learning classifier, with less computational complexity, and an accurate decision making to stunt such attacks. In this paper, we propose an intrusion detection system called Fuzzy Q-learning (FQL) algorithm to protect wireless nodes within the network and target nodes from DDoS attacks to identify the attack patterns and take appropriate countermeasures. The FQL algorithm was trained and tested to establish its performance by generating attacks from the NSL-KDD and CAIDA DDoS Attack datasets during the simulation experiments. Experimental results show that the proposed FQL IDS has higher accuracy of detection rate than Fuzzy Logic Controller and Q-learning algorithm alone.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 11Erp Project Implementation: Evidence From the Oil and Gas Sector(Budapest Tech, 2011) Mishra, Alok; Mishra, Deepti; Computer Engineering; Software EngineeringEnterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems provide integration and optimization of various business processes, which can lead to improved planning and decision quality, and a smoother coordination between business units, resulting in higher efficiency and a quicker response time to customer demands and inquiries. This paper reports the challenges and opportunities and the outcome of an ERP implementation process in the Oil & Gas exploration sector. This study will facilitate the understanding of the transition, constraints, and implementation process of ERP in this sector and will also provide guidelines from lessons learned in this regard.Article Citation - WoS: 20Citation - Scopus: 48Customer Relationship Management: Implementation Process Perspective(Budapest Tech, 2009) Mishra, Alok; Mishra, Deepti; Computer Engineering; Software EngineeringCustomer relationship management (CRM) can help organizations manage customer interactions more effectively to maintain competitiveness in the present economy. As more and more organizations realize the significance of becoming customer-centric in today's competitive era, they adopted CRM as a core business strategy and invested heavily. CRM, an integration of information technology and relationship marketing, provides the infrastructure that facilitates long-term relationship building with customers at an enterprise-wide level. Successful CRM implementation is a complex, expensive and rarely technical projects. This paper presents the successful implementation of CRM from process perspective in a trans-national organization with operations in different segments. This study will aid in understanding transition, constraints and the implementation process of CRM in such 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. The legal system environment has adopted IT not just to save costs and time but also to give organizations a competitive edge and to ensure security as well. The Legal Business Information System is a fully operational and integrated system for a legal department. The mission of the department is to provide innovative and quality services in insolvency and trustee matters. Very few legal business information system implementations are documented in literature. Therefore this paper will facilitate understanding of system implementation in this sector.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Applying Model-Driven Paradigm for the Improvement of Web Requirement Validation(Budapest Tech, 2012) Aragon, Gustavo; Escalona, M. J.; Hilera, Jose R.; Fernandez-Sanz, Luis; Misra, Sanjay; Computer EngineeringThis paper proposes an approach for Web requirements validation by applying the model-driven paradigm in classical requirements validation techniques. In particular, we present how the Navigational Development Techniques (NDT) approach exploits the model-driven paradigm to improve its requirements validation task by exploring tool cases that systematize or even automate the application of requirements validation techniques. Our solution is validated by applying it in a real industrial environment. The results and the learned lessons are presented accordingly.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 16An Approach for the Empirical Validation of Software Complexity Measures(Budapest Tech, 2011) Misra, Sanjay; Computer EngineeringSoftware metrics are widely accepted tools to control and assure software quality. A large number of software metrics with a variety of content can be found in the literature; however most of them are not adopted in industry as they are seen as irrelevant to needs, as they are unsupported, and the major reason behind this is due to improper empirical validation. This paper tries to identify possible root causes for the improper empirical validation of the software metrics. A practical model for the empirical validation of software metrics is proposed along with root causes. The model is validated by applying it to recently proposed and well known metrics.
