Web-based Support Systems (Advanced Information and Knowledge Processing) Feature

The emerging interdisciplinary study of Web-based support systems focuses on the theories, technologies and tools for the design and implementation of Web-based systems that support various human activities.

This book presents the state-of-the-art in Web-based support systems (WSS). The research on WSS is multidisciplinary and focuses on supporting various human activities in different domains/fields based on computer science, information technology, and Web technology. The main goal is to take the opportunities of the Web, to meet the challenges of the Web, to extend the human physical limitations of information processing, and to keep up with the advance of technology advances. This book discusses the four types of existing research: WSS for specific domains, Web-based applications, techniques related to WSS and design, and development of WSS.

This comprehensive, wide-ranging text will provide an invaluable insight into the state of the art in WSS for researchers and graduate students.

ERP Optimization: Using Your Existing System to Support Profitable E-Business Initiatives Feature

Existing ERP systems are being used to support an increasing amount of critical e-business initiatives, even though this is far from their original purpose. While ERP can form a foundation for successfully meeting e-business needs, future success will be derived not only from a firm, supportive foundation, but from a solid e-business superstructure that guides your company through a value chain that has grown longer and more complex.

ERP Optimization provides a technology-centric approach to leading your company through an e-transformation. It shows you how to leverage current investments in information systems while minimizing disruptions to the core business of the enterprise. Written in a business vernacular, the book effectively bridges the gap between technology and business strategy. The author takes you through the process of defining e-business goals and accessing and maximizing current systems capabilities. She details the steps required to assume a leadership position within an integrated business community and demonstrates how to support secure information exchanges with customer, suppliers,and partners.

ERP alone is not enough to secure and maintain a superior position in today's economy, but it can provide the backbone and infrastructure of enterprise applications that are the necessary, essential prerequisites to conducting e-business. Whether you are an executive today, or hope to be one in the future, ERP Optimization gives you the tools to lead your organization successfully into the e-business world.

Practical Support for CMMI-SW Software Project Documentation Using IEEE Software Engineering Standards

Practical Support for CMMI-SW Software Project Documentation Using IEEE Software Engineering Standards Review

See more picture

Practical Support for CMMI-SW Software Project Documentation Using IEEE Software Engineering Standards Feature

Software process definition, documentation, and improvement should be an integral part of every software engineering organization.  This book addresses the specific documentation requirements in support of the CMMI-SW^® by providing detailed documentation guidance in the form of: 

• Detailed organizational policy examples.
• An Integrated set of over 20 deployable document templates.
• Examples of over 50 common work products required in support of assessment activities.
• Examples of organizational delineation of process documentation. 

This book provides a set of IEEE Software Engineering Standards-based templates that support the documentation required for all activities associated with software development projects. The goal is to provide practical support for individuals responsible for the development and documentation of software processes and procedures.  The objective is to present the reader with an integrated set of documents that support the requirements of the CMMI-SW^® Levels 2 and 3.  This book is meant to both complement and extend the information provided in Jumpstart CMM^®/CMMI^® Software Process Improvement Using IEEE Software Engineering Standards.  Jumpstart provides a detailed mapping of both the CMM^® and the CMMI-SW^® to the IEEE standards set and provides a logical basis for the material contained within this text.

 It is hoped that this book will provide specific support for organizations pursuing software process definition and improvement.  For organizations that do not wish to pursue CMMI^® accreditation, this document will show how the application of IEEE Standards can facilitate the development of sound software engineering practices. It also comes with a CD-Rom.
