“…The suggestion that can be given for college design pattern is that it should be taught as a course because based on internet observations there are some universities that have taught design patterns such as Boston University [14], Oxford University [15], Anadolu University [16], and Open University of UK [17]. Design pattern can also be taught in primary and secondary school as the introduction of programming problem solving [18]. For further research, the quality assessment of the design pattern implementation is needed [19] to see if the implementation of the design pattern is correct and can have a positive impact on thesis to the fullest.…”

University students should write a thesis to get their undergraduate (Bachelor) degree is. Most Informatics engineering students of the Electrical Engineering Department in Universitas Negeri Malang use research and development method for their thesis. There are many solutions or methods in software engineering which aim to develop a good quality software. One of these solutions is using design patterns. Several benefits of using the design patterns are; decreasing time of production, having a reusable and flexible code, and making people easier to understand. The purposes of the study were investigating whether or not the informatics engineering students use the design pattern for their thesis and what kind of design pattern that they use. The data of the study were obtained through distributing questionnaires to the informatics engineering students. The questionnaire being used is a close-ended questionnaire that provides options to be chosen. The percentage descriptive analysis was used to analyze the data. Therefore, the results showed that in fact, most of the informatics engineering students have already used the design patterns to develop their thesis although they do not realize on what kind of the design patterns they actually used in the study.

The development and maintenance of complex software systems, with ever-changing requirements has benefited from the implementation of design patterns, which ensure a higher degree of maintainability. The present article illustrates the essential role of design patterns in sketching the software architecture for an electric vehicle charging management platform. We have integrated a series of design patterns to create a solid base structure for the API (Application Programming Interface). Furthermore, we have explored cloud design patterns in the deployment process to ensure a proper multi-tenant cloud application with the best possible tenant isolation for the cost. The aim of this paper is to offer readers an introduction in the case study theme, to describe a complex platform development through design patterns. With proper examples from real projects debated in the industry. The paper demonstrates the design patterns applicability from software level to cloud resources plan and advocates for a high-quality solution in every segment of project development. In conclusion, the results are promising, and the functionality of the established methods on this type of platforms will be evaluated during the implementation period. Overall, design patterns have proven to be essential in the development process, ensuring effective team communication and the delivery of qualitative software solutions.

“…Students should understand the principles of good program design to achieve a clearer system architecture, thus reducing the resource consumption (memory usage and execution time). However, design patterns are used only marginally in programming courses [84].…”

The Effect of Green Software: A Study of Impact Factors on the Correctness of Software

Unfortunately, sustainability is an issue very poorly used when developing software and hardware systems. Lately, and in order to contribute to the earth sustainability, a new concept emerged named Green software which is computer software that can be developed and used efficiently and effectively with minimal or no impact to the environment. Currently, new teaching methods based on students’ learning process are being developed in the European Higher Education Area. Most of them are oriented to promote students’ interest in the course’s contents and offer personalized feedback. Online judging is a promising method for encouraging students’ participation in the e-learning process, although it still has to be researched and developed to be widely used and in a more efficient way. The great amount of data available in an online judging tool provides the possibility of exploring some of the most indicative attributes (e.g., running time, memory) for learning programming concepts, techniques and languages. So far, the most applied methods for automatically gathering information from the judging systems are based on statistical methods and, although providing reasonable correlations, these methods have not been proven to provide enough information for predicting grades when dealing with a huge amount of data. Therefore, the great novelty of this paper is to develop a data mining approach to predict program correctness as well as the grades of the students’ practices. For this purpose, powerful data mining technologies taken from the artificial intelligence domain have been used. In particular, in this study, we have used logistic regression, decision trees, artificial neural network and support vector machines; which have been properly identified as the most suitable ones for predicting activities in the e-learning domains. The results have achieved an accuracy of around 74%, both in the prediction of the program correctness as well as in the practice grades’ prediction. Another relevant issue provided in this paper is a comparison among these four techniques to obtain the best accuracy in predicting grades based on the availability of data as well as their taxonomy. The Decision Trees classifier has obtained the best confusion matrix, and time and memory efficiency were identified as the most important predictor variables. In view of these results, we can conclude that the development of green software leads programmers to implement correct software.
