CDBR: A semi-automated collaborative execute-before-after dependency-based requirement prioritization approach by Ankita Gupta, Chetna Gupta

“…The success of requirement prioritization process largely depends upon how well different constraints and influential factors are handled by stakeholders and developers while prioritization. The main goal of this research is to present a semi-automated dependency based collaborative requirement prioritization approach (CDBR), which uses linguistic values, execute-before-after (EBA) relation among requirements and machine learning algorithm to minimize the difference of opinion between stakeholder and developers for effective collaboration and for better approximation of final prioritization results, acceptable to both. …”

Secondary School Students’ Perceptions of Subjects in Integrated STEM Teaching by Anna Kellinghusen, Sandra Sprenger, Catharina Zieriacks, Anna Orschulik, Katrin Vorhölter, Sandra Schulz

“…The results reveal that students perceive the subjects differently, but similarities can also be identified. While subject-specific content is perceived—such as the use of maps in geography, the calculation of volumes in mathematics, and Dijkstra’s algorithm in computer science—methodological connections, such as calculating, analyzing diagrams, or solving problems, are anchored across disciplines. …”
