Software development is a hectic process that requires keen understanding and effective model such that the developed software inherits good quality, reliability, and achieves customer satisfaction towards achieving the goals effectively. The effective operation of the software is enabled by modifying the operating modules of the software through a model, like agile. In this paper, the catastrophic and distributed computing models are integrated into the software development step. The proposed model is termed as Distributed Cat model that is developed with the aim to handle the risk factors engaged in various developing stages of the agile model. The risk factors that affect the communication, planning, release, design, coding and testing modules of the agile modules are deeply learned and executed such that the risk factors are tackled by various modules present in the proposed Distributed Cat model. The effectiveness of the proposed model is analyzed based on the performance metrics, such as Index of Integration (IoI) and Usability Goals Achievement Metric (UGAM), for which five products including the hotel management system, Customer relationship Management system (CRM), Rainfall prediction system, Temperature monitoring system, and meta-search system, are employed and analyzed. The analysis is progressed using the parameters, like mean difference, variance, standard devaiation, correlation. The analysis proves that the proposed model offered a great deviation after applying the proposed model contributing a high degree of performance in software development.

The article deals with risk management systems at enterprises of the agrarian sector, which represents an organization of economic activity, the purpose of which is to minimize losses and find sources of income. The research organization of the risk management system in the enterprises of agrarian sphere great attention should be paid to the integration of their specific activities. The process of risk management in enterprises consists of the following phases: definition of objectives and parameters for solving the problem of risk; identification of external and internal risk factors; identification of risk factors, risk identification; risk analysis; risk assessment; development and implementation of risk management measures; synthesis of the results of measures taken and preparing proposals. In addition, the risk management system is submitted to us through the introduction of a passport of risk, to enable the formulation and adjustment of economic activity at any stage of its implementation. Under the risk passport of the economic risk refers to a collection of information about risk, risk criteria, as well as guidance on the application of the necessary methods to manage or mitigate the risks. As well as the information in the article was considered in the context of a risk management system.

In the game of Golf, a player is challenged to take the minimum strokes to complete a round of 18 holes under varying playing conditions. Players use different clubs depending on their skill levels to achieve the desired distance while taking shots at the golf ball from the start (tee off) to the hole (pin). Unlike other games which have a standardized playing area, the terrain in a golf course comprises of various natural and manmade features viz. fairways, bunkers, trees, water bodies etc, which increase the difficulty level of the game and keep the players challenged.The game of golf has a fascinating similarity to a software development life cycle. If the holes on a golf course are considered akin to milestones in a development project then most of the Software Engineering models focus on software development in groups. Thus, we propose SOLF i.e Software Development Lifecycle model based on Golf, as a SDLC ideal for individuals or a small group of 2-3 developers. The proposed model is easy to comprehend, flexible and optimally adjustable in a dynamic environment.SOLF divides the project into 18 stages wherein each stage of the project will have 3 to 6 tasks which are required to be completed within a fixed timeline. The stages are managed by creating checklists at the start akin to the pre-shot routines in golf and the customer feedback is received on reaching each of the milestones similar to applause in the game of golf. Terrain of the golf course is reflected as risk list which are varying for each of the stages.SOLF achieves 10x speedup in software development and research projects as it creates an environment of challenges and drives the developer towards self excellence. It also inculcates a spirit of competition and sportsmanship by challenging the developers on various 'terrains' of development.

Contact Center is a form of Customer Relationship Management, where customers can interact with a company through its single point of contact and serves mainly as a tool for the company to maintain its service to the customers. Contact center is generally operated by many Agents and can accepts thousands of phone calls every day, depending on the company’s scale and customer base. In order to correctly serve the customers, Agents need to understand many knowledge which the company has, and this is the main reason why Agents need to master the company’s Knowledge Management System (KMS). Inability of Agents to interact with the KMS will be a serious problem for the company. In this paper, we studied the acceptance of Halo Info, a form of KMS in one of the biggest banking contact center in Indonesia, called Halo BCA. We used modified TAM version 2, with a total of 11 variables, 31 indicators, and 12 hypotheses. The research instrument was a 31 items questionnaire. We gathered 283 respondent data, and analyzed it using PLS-SEM. The research findings are: Usage Behaviour (UB) is significantly affected by Intention to Use (IU); IU is proven to be greatly affected by Perceived Ease of Use (PEU), Perceived Usefulness (PU), and Subjective Norm (SN); PEU is significantly affected by System Self-Efficacy (SSE) and Interface Usability (IUSB); PU is significantly affected by Job Relevance (JR) and PEU, but is not significantly affected by Output Quality (OQ), Image (I), Result Demonstrability (RD), and SN.

The Continuum of Survivorship proposes a way in which individuals may experience the suicide death of someone known to them along a continuum from being exposed to the death through to long-term bereavement. The present study provides a first empirical testing of the proposed model in an Australian community sample exposed to suicide. Using a Latent Profile Analysis, we tested the suicide exposure risk factors (time since death, frequency of pre-death contact, reported closeness, and perceived impact) to map to the Continuum of Survivorship model. Results revealed identification of five profiles, with four ranging from suicide exposed to suicide bereaved long-term broadly aligning with the proposed model, with one further profile being identified that represented a discordant profile of low closeness and high impact of suicide exposure. Our findings demonstrate that while the proposed model is useful to better understand the psychological distress related to exposure to suicide, it cannot be used as “shorthand” for identifying those who will be most distressed, nor those who may most likely need additional support following a suicide death. Implications and future research directions are discussed.
