Software Engineering and Artificial Intelligence: Re-Enhancing the Lifecycle

As automation is changing everything in today’s world, there is an urgent need for artificial intelligence, the basic component of today’s automation and innovation to have standards for software engineering for analysis and design before it is synthesized to avoid disaster. Artificial intelligence software can make development costs and time easier for programmers. There is a probability that society may reject artificial intelligence unless a trustworthy standard in software engineering is created to make them safe. For society to have more confidence in artificial intelligence applications or systems, researchers and practitioners in computing industry need to work not only on the cross-section of artificial intelligence and software engineering, but also on software theory that can serve as a universal framework for software development, most especially in artificial intelligence systems. This paper seeks to(a) encourage the development of standards in artificial intelligence that will immensely contribute to the development of software engineering industry considering the fact that artificial intelligence is one of the leading technologies driving innovation worldwide (b) Propose the need for professional bodies from philosophy, law, medicine, engineering, government, international community (such as NATO, UN), and science and technology bodies to develop a standardized framework on how AI can work in the future that can guarantee safety to the public among others. These standards will boost public confidence and guarantee acceptance of artificial intelligence applications or systems by both the end-users and the general public.

Computer Network Reliability Improvement Method Based on Genetic Algorithm

With the continuous growth of economy and the continuous development of society, once the computer came out, it has been rapidly developed and popularized, especially now, people’s life is more and more inseparable from the computer, and they have a serious dependence on the computer. Some industries even directly use the computer as the business pillar, once such industries leave the computing industry Therefore, the reliability of computer network is a very important topic. It is very important to improve the reliability of computer network. In order to explore the effect of genetic algorithm on improving the reliability of computer network, two experimental groups are set up in this paper. The experimental group adds genetic algorithm in its computer network operation, while the control group uses the traditional algorithm. Finally, the experimental results show that the accuracy and security of the computer network in the experimental group are higher than those in the control group. For example, the highest accuracy and security of the experimental group are 99.78% and 98.83% respectively, while the highest accuracy and security of the control group are 84.31% and 88.58%. These experimental data show that the genetic algorithm can play a positive effect on the security of computer network.

SELF- AND PEER-ASSESSMENT TO ENHANCE STUDENT ENGAGEMENT IN UNDERGRADUATE GROUP PROJECTS

Group projects are an important part of undergraduate computer science learning because of their role in developing working skills which are vital for professionals in the computing industry. While group projects offer many potential learning benefits there is no guarantee that the development of working skills will be achieved. In fact, group projects introduce their own stresses and strains for students due to the need to share the workload as fairly as possible, in how individual contributions are measured and recognised, the effect this has on individual performance, and ultimately how this contributes to the student’s success in the course. Group projects which are not designed, supervised and assessed in a way that promotes meaningful teamwork and collaboration can lead to failure. In this paper we demonstrate practical use of the WebPA system to allow students to perform self- and peer-assessment to effectively measure individual contributions within group projects. The impact of the tools in supporting and measuring performance is validated through quantitative student feedback where we demonstrate significant student engagement in the assessment process and student satisfaction in mark allocation.

Cloud computing as Digital Imaginary. A critical making approach to user perceptions and experiences

<p><b>Cloud computing provides ready access to data, anywhere, anytime through a one-click connection to centralised data storage.

ICT Book Aspect Case Study

LD 6 is our “Generalized Colleague”, a Leading Designer specialized in computer and communication system hardware, and pioneering/emerging/novel ICT application projects, in particular those intended for computer control systems, especially for the electric power industry. He assumed that the pioneers of the computing industry, of the best results in computer hardware, software and application projects should have the best results in defining and investigating the technological as well as off-technology (not technological aspects) of the computer development around the world. The Ld 6 is the nickname of the Leading Designer who devised an ICT book (Book 1) to disclose the impacts of the technological and off-technology aspects upon the ICT development in the countries similar to Hungary and Poland that were the most successful East Europe (Comecon) Countries developing ICT by their own and meeting the requirements of the general human culture, i.e. the ICT honest design and development. The history of writing the Book and publishing it is the subject matter of our paper (This paper). The publishing process of our Book was, generally and unfortunately, similar to rather popular of the ICT rather technology transfer process when the citizens of the technology beneficiary countries are treated similarly to the Ld 6, the basic complex hero of this paper.
