J1802026976
J1802026976IOSR Journals This document presents a reference framework for classifying software quality models. It proposes analyzing software quality using four "worlds": 1) Subject World, which defines what software quality is, 2) Usage World, which identifies user intentions and goals for quality, 3) System World, which specifies how quality will be represented and measured, and 4) Development World, which contains processes and tools to achieve quality objectives. Each world addresses a fundamental question about quality. The framework characterizes each model based on attributes within these worlds. It aims to provide a comprehensive way to analyze, compare, and develop software quality models.

A Framework For The Evaluation Of Business Models And Its Empirical Validation
A Framework For The Evaluation Of Business Models And Its Empirical ValidationJustin Knight This document proposes and empirically validates a framework for evaluating enterprise models. The framework consists of three categories for criteria: syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic analysis. Syntactic analysis examines the structural relationships and form of model elements. Semantic analysis considers the meaning and mapping of model elements to the real domain. Pragmatic analysis requires considering the context, use, and environment of the model. The framework is populated with evaluation criteria from various disciplines. As an empirical validation, metrics for eight criteria were calculated for fifteen enterprise models to test the framework's usefulness. While some composite quality scores were attempted, there is less confidence in their validity.

Smarter Aviation Data Management: Lessons from Swedavia Airports and Sweco
Smarter Aviation Data Management: Lessons from Swedavia Airports and SwecoSafe Software Managing airport and airspace data is no small task, especially when you’re expected to deliver it in AIXM format without spending a fortune on specialized tools. But what if there was a smarter, more affordable way?
Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at how Sweco partnered with Swedavia, the Swedish airport operator, to solve this challenge using FME and Esri.
Learn how they built automated workflows to manage periodic updates, merge airspace data, and support data extracts – all while meeting strict government reporting requirements to the Civil Aviation Administration of Sweden.
Even better? Swedavia built custom services and applications that use the FME Flow REST API to trigger jobs and retrieve results – streamlining tasks like securing the quality of new surveyor data, creating permdelta and baseline representations in the AIS schema, and generating AIXM extracts from their AIS data.
To conclude, FME expert Dean Hintz will walk through a GeoBorders reading workflow and highlight recent enhancements to FME’s AIXM (Aeronautical Information Exchange Model) processing and interpretation capabilities.
Discover how airports like Swedavia are harnessing the power of FME to simplify aviation data management, and how you can too.
The Future of Product Management in AI ERA.pdf
The Future of Product Management in AI ERA.pdfAlyona Owens Hi, I’m Aly Owens, I have a special pleasure to stand here as over a decade ago I graduated from CityU as an international student with an MBA program. I enjoyed the diversity of the school, ability to work and study, the network that came with being here, and of course the price tag for students here has always been more affordable than most around.
Since then I have worked for major corporations like T-Mobile and Microsoft and many more, and I have founded a startup. I've also been teaching product management to ensure my students save time and money to get to the same level as me faster avoiding popular mistakes. Today as I’ve transitioned to teaching and focusing on the startup, I hear everybody being concerned about Ai stealing their jobs… We’ll talk about it shortly.
But before that, I want to take you back to 1997. One of my favorite movies is “Fifth Element”. It wowed me with futuristic predictions when I was a kid and I’m impressed by the number of these predictions that have already come true. Self-driving cars, video calls and smart TV, personalized ads and identity scanning. Sci-fi movies and books gave us many ideas and some are being implemented as we speak. But we often get ahead of ourselves:
Flying cars,Colonized planets, Human-like AI: not yet, Time travel, Mind-machine neural interfaces for everyone: Only in experimental stages (e.g. Neuralink).
Cyberpunk dystopias: Some vibes (neon signs + inequality + surveillance), but not total dystopia (thankfully).
On the bright side, we predict that the working hours should drop as Ai becomes our helper and there shouldn’t be a need to work 8 hours/day. Nobody knows for sure but we can require that from legislation. Instead of waiting to see what the government and billionaires come up with, I say we should design our own future.
So, we as humans, when we don’t know something - fear takes over. The same thing happened during the industrial revolution. In the Industrial Era, machines didn’t steal jobs—they transformed them but people were scared about their jobs. The AI era is making similar changes except it feels like robots will take the center stage instead of a human. First off, even when it comes to the hottest space in the military - drones, Ai does a fraction of work. AI algorithms enable real-time decision-making, obstacle avoidance, and mission optimization making drones far more autonomous and capable than traditional remote-controlled aircraft. Key technologies include computer vision for object detection, GPS-enhanced navigation, and neural networks for learning and adaptation. But guess what? There are only 2 companies right now that utilize Ai in drones to make autonomous decisions - Skydio and DJI.

- 3. Introduction Context – MDE challenge: the management and integration of languages and models formulated to support multiple views during the information systems development. – In the real life several trends and particular interpretations of model‐driven contribute to confusion and chaos – See for example: ¿Why did MDE miss the boat? Jean Bézivin, October 17, 2011 and analysis made by InfoQ in October 2011
- 4. Introduction Problem – The adoption of the MDE approaches have guided the development of a large number of initiatives; although it emphasizes the use of models as primary artifacts of a software construction process, it causes a conceptual divergence in the support of specific views and/or concerns belonging to an IS. – Most of the works about quality in models do not cover the quality of languages and models from a MDE viewpoint, i.e., they do not explain how multiple proposals for managing multiple views in a MDE scenario can co‐exist.
- 5. Introduction Goal • The main goal of this research is to formulate a method for the evaluation of the quality of a set of languages jointly used within an MDE project. • The ontological quality evaluation framework proposed in this research is conceived as a conceptual, methodology and technology tool for the evaluation of language proposals and models (as productions of languages), whose purpose is to assess one set of languages/models regarding its incorporation and adoption capabilities in a MDE environment.
- 6. Introduction Research Questions – (RQ1) What problems are evidenced in model‐driven projects related to the selection of languages? – (RQ2) What is the set of concepts that are required to model when we are in a model‐driven project? – (RQ3) When a set of modelling languages is selected to be used in combination in an MDE project, are there methods for evaluating the suitability such set of languages? – (RQ4) Propose a method for the evaluation of the ontological quality of a set of languages used jointly within a model‐driven project. – (RQ5) What advantages/disadvantages are obtained by the application of the proposed method?
