...introduce the notion of software as a product designed and built by software engineers. Software is important because it is used by a great many people in society. Software engineers have a moral and ethical responsibility to ensure that the software they design does no serious harm to any people. Software engineers tend to be concerned with the technical elegance of their software products. Customers tend to be concerned only with whether or not a software product meets their needs and is easy to use. 1.1 The Evolving Role of Software The main point of this section is that the primary purpose of software is that of information transformer. Software is used to produce, manage, acquire, modify, display, and transmit information anywhere in the world. The days of the lone programmer are gone. Modern software is developed by teams of software specialists. Yet, the software developer's concerns have remained the same. Why does software take so long to complete? Why does it cost so much to produce? Why can't all errors be found and removed before software is delivered to the customer? 1.2 Software Software is not like the artifacts produced in most other engineering disciplines. Software is developed it is not manufactured in the classical sense. Building a software product is more like constructing a design prototype. Opportunities for replication without customization are not very common. Software may become...

We at XLRI have structured our programmes in such a manner as to equip the future managers of tomorrow with learning, competencies and skills that can significantly contribute to the growth of the organization. XLRI has always been proudly associated with academic excellence, personal values and social concern. It has been the crucible of leadership training for over 60 years and its banner is held high by a fine breed of alumni who serve as “change agents” thereby adding a new dimension to their corporate role. This integral and value based formation will greatly assist our students to be innovative, competent and creative leaders. They are groomed in a manner as to serve as agents of continuous improvement and change. It was in 1997 that XLRI recognized an unfulfilled need for formal management training at middle and senior levels of corporate strata. The result of that thought process was the General Management Programme, which has ever since, transformed several industry professionals into veritable leaders who reflect the standards and values of XLRI at various organizations. Recognized by AICTE, the programme places emphasis on stringent admission procedures for selecting the students who are then exposed to a rigorous training regimen which leads them along a journey of rediscovery. Focused academics...

...better access, collaboration in a generation of information and technological convergence, have all contributed to the design of a new scientific paradigm. Thanks to our passion for research and to the continuous advancements in the technological ecosystem as well as the possibility of better understanding human activity and behavior we are on the threshold of a new era of the social science of tourism. This new social and technological paradigm affects tourism and human mobility in a way that gives the research process unheard-of possibilities. The current level of technological development allows for the construction of objects that are smaller, more intelligent and embedded in the environment and even wearable. These objects, which record and learn our habits are connected to the Internet and they have computing capabilities. They can also be interconnected and generate large quantities of information to benefit the environment in which they are located as well as the travellers that possess them. This gives rise to a new world of interconnected personal machines. This new world involves a convergence among what is physical, what is social and what is digital. Within this context, research assumes the principal role to guide evolution, transferring knowledge to the industry. Relevant academic research is more necessary than ever before in order to explore how ICT in tourism can...

This paper uses data mining techniques such as Multilayer Feed Forward Neural Network (MLFF), Support Vector Machines (SVM), Genetic Programming (GP), Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH), Logistic Regression (LR), and Probabilistic Neural Network (PNN) to identify companies that resort to financial statement fraud. Each of these techniques is tested on a dataset involving 202 Chinese companies and compared with and without feature selection. PNN outperformed all the techniques without feature selection, and GP and PNN outperformed others with feature selection and with marginally equal accuracies. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.
