The internet of things (IOT) is a phenomenon of connected devices over the internet to ease human life. It is a system where a separate computing device embedded with sensors is connected to other devices or to the cloud through the different infrastructures of the Internet. The implication of the IOT is still challenging in a geographically distributed environment. Particularly, the main challenges are associated with data privacy and security. In this study, we investigate in the report the risks/issue related to IoT data privacy and security from the existing literature for the last two years and provide a review. We identify a total of seven issues related to IoT data privacy and security. The findings revolved that Privacy, Security, confidentiality, and integrity are the most significant issues for IoT in the current era. The findings of this study provide the researchers with a body of knowledge about the critical issues faced by the users and practitioners of IOT across the globe. Contribution/Originality: In this paper, we conducted the literature review to find out the main challenges that are being faced by challenges related to privacy and security mainly, authentication and access control, confidentiality and integrity IOT devices users and as well as for IOT manufacturer. We highlighted seven, privacy, trust on the device and conducted a questionnaire survey from different organizations and from different research experts and ranked it accordingly.

During software development requirement gathering is an important phase. Requirements are the basis of software development. The success or failure of any software depends upon level of understanding developed in requirements. During software development requirements keeps on changing due to different reasons. Hence requirements are such a critical phase that leads to the total project failure. So, to understand the impacts and to identify the conflicts with existing requirements, it is important to manage and analyze the requirements well. Requirement change management is the interest of this paper. Different requirement change management techniques has been discussed in this paper and analyzed them well and finally conclude the results accordingly.

“…The model of Keshta et al consists of six main phases: “initiate,” “validate,” “implement,” “verify,” “update,” and “release.” The model provides a detailed guideline to implement the demanded requirements changes only in small‐ and medium‐sized organizations but does not address the RCM process in GSD organizations . Bhatti et al developed a formal change management process model that includes six key phases: “initiate,” “receive,” “evaluate,” “approve or disapprove,” “implement,” and “configure.” This model provides a guideline for change management activities but is lacking some important phases, ie, verification and batch . It will be difficult to verify the execution of the implemented changes if there is no verification method.…”

“…Therefore, it is challenging to verify whether a change implemented in the system is working accordingly or not. These models and frameworks can assist an organization in managing the required changes, updating certain needs, developing better products, minimizing development costs and time, and improving customer satisfaction . These models have successfully addressed the RCM process in the domain of a collocated (single site) environment but ignore the globally distributed nature of the software development process.…”

“…Despite the importance of RCM in the GSD environment, limited attention has been given to the development of RCM implementation techniques, models, and factors that could influence the RCM practices . The significance of RCM activities in a GSD context motivated us to develop the software RCM and implementation maturity model (SRCMIMM), which can assist GSD organizations in modifying and improving their RCM activities.…”

The phenomenon of global software development (GSD) has been adopted by a majority of the software development firms to achieve the significant benefits it offers. However, there are many challenges faced by the GSD organizations, which are mainly related to requirements change management (RCM). The key objective of this study is to identify the challenges of RCM process in GSD domain. The systematic literature review (SLR) approach has been used to investigate the challenges of RCM activities, and a total of 30 challenges were identified. We have further classified the identified challenges in the domain of client and vendor GSD organizations, aiming to provide a clear understanding of the RCM process and its challenges in the context of both types of GSD organizations. The identified challenges were also categorized into three core types according to the organization size (small, medium sized, or large), which highlights the significance of each challenge for a specific organizational size. In addition, the criticality of the identified challenges was assessed using the criteria of challenges having a frequency greater than or equal to 50%. According to the findings of this study, a framework is provided that could help GSD organizations address the problems related to RCM in a GSD environment.
