whitepaper Teaching Resources Information Extraction System Based on Web and XML2008-10-27 Jilin University
  With the increase of websites, the teaching resources data present geometric progression to increase. At the same time, website teaching resources exist with the form of Semi-structured data. This paper proposes a teaching resource information extraction system that based on Web pages. Using the semi-automatic method to extract the teaching resources data of designated websites, extraction results represent in XML format, and carry on the data with other systems or databases for data exchange.

whitepaper Moving Toward "Reality" in Team Selection for Software Engineering2008-10-25 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
  College students have been bombarded with reality shows. Coupled with extensive video gaming, these weird tasks and challenges have become commonplace for vicarious thrill seekers. Place these same students in a software engineering class where pedagogical norms include process understanding, project design methods, and implementation guidelines, and the class trends toward low-energy and minimal student effort, even with the most state-of-the-art projects. The approach is to re-energize students using a new mode of competition. The goal is to allow the students to compete for role, team, and project choice.   
whitepaper Introducing Data Mining Techniques and Software Engineering to High School Science Students2008-10-25 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
  This paper describes the activities of a Computer Science doctoral student and a Secondary Education master's student in the design, development, and implementation of a lesson for a high school science class. The graduate students, called Fellows, worked in secondary classrooms in the Cincinnati Public School District as a part of Project STEP at the University of Cincinnati, which is funded by the National Science Foundation GK-12 Program. The Fellows formed partnerships with secondary math and science teachers to generate new lessons, activities, and resources to enhance the STEM skills of high school students. Additionally, the Fellows used their engineering expertise to bring authentic, inquiry-based learning experiences into the classroom and introduced engineering concepts to underserved student populations.

whitepaper Spanning the Gap Between Software Engineering Instructor and Student2008-10-25 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
  Many computing degrees have a project-based software engineering course where teams of students complete a project under the guidance of the instructor and possibly one or more Teaching Assistants (TAs). However many instructors are unsure as to how well course objectives for these project-based courses are being met and more importantly, how best to structure the experience to optimize student learning. This paper presents the contrasting views of the instructor and a TA on the learning that occurred in an undergraduate software engineering project course. The undergraduate TA for the course is uniquely qualified to support the course, having had several years of real-world software development experience.   
whitepaper The "Soft" Topics in Software Engineering Education2008-10-25 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
  Engineering educators struggle with "Soft" topics - topics which include a social element. Soft engineering topics are distinct from the scientific and mathematical underpinnings of engineering. Students frequently complain when these topics are integrated into engineering curricula. Engineering educators also express concerns that they lack both preparation and ability to teach these topics. Software engineering educators have an even greater problem. More soft topics need to be included in a good software engineering program. Furthermore, software engineering instructors need to remain current with nonsocial best practices, which can leave little time to study techniques to incorporate soft topics into the curriculum. This paper is an attempt to alleviate the problem.   
whitepaper An Industry-Academia Team-Teaching Case Study for Software Engineering Capstone Courses2008-10-25 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
  Exposing software engineering students to newest industry practices and latest research and theories allows them to acquire and maintain the technical skills necessary to continually adjust to the rapid changes that occur in technology. Close interaction with industry members help the university and engineering programs identify real-world problems and their solutions and incorporate them into the curriculum. Software engineering capstone projects require the development of major software products and are usually either industry-generated or research-based. They are either assigned for the overall supervision of one instructor or each project is supervised by different instructors independently.   
whitepaper Learning Software Engineering Principles Using Open Source Software2008-10-25 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
  Traditional lectures espousing software engineering principles hardly engage students' attention due to the fact that students often view software engineering principles as mere academic concepts without a clear understanding of how they can be used in practice. Some of the issues that contribute to this perception include lack of experience in writing and understanding large programs, and lack of opportunities for inspecting and maintaining code written by others. To address these issues, the authors have worked on a project whose overarching goal is to teach students a subset of basic software engineering principles using source code exploration as the primary mechanism.   
whitepaper A Spoonful of Governance for SOA2008-10-24 JupiterMedia
  Governance is one of those words that can strike fear into the heart of a software architect. Visions of endless meetings and committee reviews immediately give the developer that queasy feeling in the pit of their stomach. Process and overhead guarantee a slow down in an already tight project plan and cause developers to spend more time drawing diagrams and writing documents than actually writing code. SOA governance ensures that the developer's SOA has them. Governance doesn't have to be a bad word. In fact, he may already have some of the pieces in place for his SOA governance plan and not even know it. If the developer has spent any time designing software, he might have already solved some of the issues.

whitepaper Information on Demand Brochure: Unlocking the business value of information for competitive advantage2008-10-24 IBM
  This executive level brochure provides the strategy behind Information on Demand (IOD), the 5 entry points to IOD and includes a summary of the 2008, information market analyst Ovum's independent evaluation of IBM's Information On Demand initiative which declared IBM to be at the "vanguard of the unified information management revolution." In this brochure customers will also learn how to optimize their business and create a sustainable competitive advantage. Businesses need to do more than automate processes for maximum efficiency. What is needed is an entire enterprise-wide focus based on the unique value which only organizations possesses: information. In addition to creating this focus businesses also need to start treating information like a Strategic Asset, just like cash or other valuable tangible resources. IBM Information On Demand helps businesses unlock the business value of information for competitive advantage.

whitepaper Propagating XML Constraints to Relations2008-10-24 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
  This paper presents a technique for refining the design of relational storage for XML data based on XML key propagation. Three algorithms are presented: one checks whether a given functional dependency is propagated from XML keys via a predefined view; the others compute a minimum cover for all functional dependencies on a universal relation given XML keys. Experimental results show that these algorithms are efficient in practice. The authors also investigate the complexity of propagating other XML constraints to relations, and the effect of increasing the power of the transformation language. Computing XML key propagation is a first step toward establishing a connection between XML data and its relational representation at the semantic level.
