In this paper, we present STS-Tool 3.0: a software tool that helps security requirement engineers in maintaining high level of security in socio-technical systems. STS-Tool 3.0 allows to specify social/organizational security requirements and to enforce them in part of the implementation of socio-technical systems.

Effective mitigation of climate change will require far-reaching transformations of electricity, heat, agricultural, transport and other systems. The energy studies and modelling research that so often dominates academic and policy debates provide valuable insights into these transitions, but remain constrained by their focus on rational decision-making and their neglect of non-linear dynamics ...

To manage collaborative negotiation in software system design, we have built a socio-technical argument-based negotiation management approach by integrating a Socio-technical Co-construction Process (STCP) with an Argument-based Negotiation Process (ABNP). This paper reviews relevant research work and presents each step of this approach. The STCP provides rich contextual information of technica...

Our world is a complex socio-technical system-of-systems (Chappin &Dijkema, 2007; Nikolic, 2009). Embedded within the geological, chemical and biological planetary context, the physical infrastructures, such as power grids or transport networks span the globe with energy and material flows. Social networks in the form of global commerce and the Internet blanket the planet in information flows. ...

Socio-technical systems are an interplay of social (humans and organizations) and technical components interacting with one another to achieve their objectives. Security is a central issue in such complex systems, and it cannot be tackled only through technical mechanisms: the encryption of sensitive data while being transmitted, does not assure that the receiver will not disclose them to unaut...

The study was conducted to indicate the determinants of technical efficiency of the dairy farmers in Ada’a district of Oromia state, Ethiopia. The study was arranged in four purposively selected peasant associations of the peri-urban and four kebeles of the urban dairy production sub-systems from which thirty dairy farmers were selected randomly. A total of two hundred forty respondents were pe...
