When people need help they often turn to their social peers for reliable information, recommendation or guidance. It is often difficult to find someone in the vicinity for help or communicate with someone from a distant place who can provide reliable help. Conveying the actual context of the question during remote communication is a cumbersome task, especially when avoiding speech communication...

Defining software requirements is a complex and difficult process, which often leads to costly project failures. Requirements emerge from a collaborative and interactive negotiation process that involves heterogeneous stakeholders (people involved in an elicitation process such as users, analysts, developers, and customers). Practical experience shows that prioritizing requirements is not as st...

trous 2007–2008 food price crisis, it was that it prompted governments and international donors to re-examine their priorities for agricultural development. They committed to invest in agriculture and food security in a manner that prioritizes small-scale producers (especially women), enhances the environment and contributes to the development of rural economies. While their promises to spend m...

Test case prioritization techniques let testers order their test cases so that those with higher priority, according to some criterion, are executed earlier than those with lower priority. In previous work, we examined a variety of prioritization techniques to determine their ability to improve the rate of fault detection of test suites. Our studies showed that the rate of fault detection of te...

A fuzzy option prioritization technique is developed to efficiently model uncertain preferences of DMs in strategic conflicts as fuzzy preferences by using the decision makers’ (DMs’) fuzzy truth values of preference statements at feasible states within the framework of the Graph Model for Conflict Resolution. The preference statements of a DM express desirable combinations of options or course...

Prioritization of obesity prevention and management policy is based on one's understanding of the health risks associated with increasing body weight. However, there is evidence that the magnitude of these health risks may be changing over time. Here, the authors analyze the theoretical drivers of these changes and then examine whether there is empirical evidence to support the theory. They con...

Regression testing is the process of executing all or some of the tests that already have been conducted to ensure that no new errors have been introduced in the previously tested code. It is very expensive technique. To reduce the cost of regression technique and to increase the effectiveness of testing process we can prioritize the test cases. To date there are number of techniques have been ...
