Boosting fitness for use of configuration management databases by user specific views

The goal of this research is to improve the fitness for use of the CMDB in the development phase of large infrastructure projects by identifying the information needs of the individuals. The construction industry is transiting from paper-based systems engineering to Model-Based Systems Engineering, especially in the development phase of large...

The Information Strategy Model: a framework for developing a monitoring strategy for national policy making and SDG6 reporting

Representatives from 14 countries worldwide worked together on improving their monitoring and ultimately their water management to reach the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6 goals by 2030, thereby testing the Information Strategy Model (ISM). This model is developed to support identifying the need for information for water management. In...

Towards Design and Development of a BIM-based 3D Property Formation Process

With the increased interest and demand for 3D property, 3D property formation has shown increased significance. It is important to provide efficient, clear and unambiguous methods to form 3D property units, as well as register 3D property RRRs (rights, restrictions and responsibilities). The 3D property formation process should facilitate...

Information Needs in Contemporary Code Review

Contemporary code review is a widespread practice used by software engineers to maintain high software quality and share project knowledge. However, conducting proper code review takes time and developers often have limited time for review. In this paper, we aim at investigating the information that reviewers need<br/>to conduct a proper code...

A situation awareness analysis scheme to identify deficiencies of complex man-machine interactions

This paper presents an analysis scheme which aims to support a<br/>systematic study of required situation awareness (RSA). This scheme supports<br/>identification of deficiencies of support for situation awareness (SA).<br/>Information needs are goal and task dependent and can be defined using<br/>existing cognitive task analysis (CTA) methods....

Auto-Erecting Virtual Office Walls: Constructing a Virtual Office for Global Software Engineers

Due to the globalization of business and the rising popularity of working from home, global software engineering is becoming increasingly common. In such a distributed environment, team members no longer share a physical work environment and should be provided with information they need to collaborate remotely. The goal of this dissertation is...

Supporting Collaboration in Global Software Engineering

More and more, software engineering projects are no longer carried out in a single office building, but instead in multiple dislocated office buildings or even from home. When the development process is distributed between several geographically dispersed locations this is known as Global Software Engineering or GSE. The team members working on...

Synchronisation of "Work Processes" vs. "Geo-information", a RWS case

The main research questin is: Which geographic data sets can support the need of information regarding the work processes 'Maintenance of the Highway Network' at the Dienstkring and what level of quality of the geographic data is necessary. The current situation at the Directorate-General increases the complexity of the research question....
