Nowadays, many of the Agile based project development teams are distributed geographically across the globe. The teams are divided into onshore and offshore that work together to achieve on a common target. The teams in turn work in small iterations to minimize the effect of change in software requirements and at the same time developing regular communication between them. However different factors such as physical distance and lack of proper communication between the onshore and offshore teams become a hurdle between them leading to misunderstandings about software requirements. Though there are many advanced way of communication like video conferencing, voice chatting is available, it certainly has several disadvantages in getting the task completed. This paper gives an insight about these challenges faced in many of the software industries and it would allow different stakeholders within agile based onshore /offshore setting to better understand these challenges in eliciting their requirements.
In this current world where technology is growing up day by day and scientific researchers are presenting new era of discoveries, the need for security is also increasing in all areas. At present, the vehicle usage is basic necessity for everyone. Simultaneously, protecting the vehicle against theft is also very important. Traditional vehicle security system depends on many sensors and cost is also high. When the vehicle is stolen, no more response or alternative could be available to help the owner of the vehicle to find it back. The main goal of this paper is to protect the vehicle from any unauthorized access, using fast, easy-to-use, clear, reliable and economical fingerprint recognition technique. This vehicle security system intimates the status of the vehicle to the authoritative person (owner) using Global System for Mobile (GSM) communication technology. If the person is certified, vehicle access is allowed. Else SMS will be sent to the owner and the engine will be immobilized. The prototype model for the security system is built on the embedded platform using PIC Microcontroller which controls all the processes and cost is also very stumpy. On higher end theft attempts like cutting battery power supply, protection to the vehicle is provided by Engine Control Unit (ECU) embedded on microcontroller. By using GPS technology, vehicle can be identified very easily. Thus, the system provides security at both levels, i.e. when battery supply is provided or not.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
