Title	An Interrogative Review of Requirement Engineering Frameworks
Authors	Muhammad Husnain & Muhammad Waseem
Abstract	The primary measure of success of a software system is the level to which it meets the purpose for which it was projected and requirements engineering (RE) is the process of discovering that purpose. The RE process includes five distinct phases: Requirements Elicitation, Requirements Analysis & Negotiation, Requirements Documentation, Requirements Verification & Validation, and Requirements Management. There are a number of inherent difficulties and their proposed solutions for RE phases. Framework is one of the possible ways for finding solution of those problems. It is a hot area of RE. Frameworks commonly used to combine the techniques on a specific problem, topic or area. In this paper we are going to review the literature of RE frameworks. The survey is organized according to a conceptual framework which will analyze the 1) problem statement; 2) Domain; 3) proposed solution; 4) RE phases discussed; 5) RE phases not discussed and 6) reusability. This paper also presents the issues which are still open to further research.

Title	AOSD � FINE-GRAINED & INTEGRATED AORE PROCESS
Authors	Jahangir Khan & Islam Ali & S. A. K.Ghayyur
Abstract	Focus of Aspect Oriented Software Development is on the identification, separation, representation and composition of crosscutting concerns. Crosscutting concerns behavior effects the whole system development. Traditional requirement engineering process does not cater for these crosscutting concerns. A new aspect oriented requirement engineering process is proposed to overcome this deficiency. Focus of this research activity is to justify why this new aspect oriented requirement engineering process is needed.

Title	APPLYING ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS TO THE DESIGN OF ABNORMAL DIAGNOSIS FOR POWER TRANSFORMERS
Authors	Chen-Feng Wu & Cheng-I Hou
Abstract	It is not overstated that transformer is the heart of electrical system. A step-up transformer is used to reduce the power losses when the step-down transformer provides the various levels of voltage to the customers. Transformer is one of the most expensive and important electrical equipments installed in a power system. Any fault occurs in a main transformer will cause in the malfunction of whole power system. Those materials used in the interior parts of a transformer include insulated paper, stereotype paperboards, wood, dioxin resin, optical fiber, and insulation oil. The property of their insulation level could be deteriorated due to the change of ambient temperature and humidity in the long time operation. Thus, an inevitable fault may occur owing to the poor insulation. This paper aims at discovering and analyzing those abnormal symptoms in the earlier stage and takes remedies in time. In addition to the periodic examination of the transformers, a regular testing of the isolation oil is the widely adopted technique to observe the operating situations and performance of the insulation oil inside the power transformers. The disadvantage of the above method is that it cannot grasp the dynamic state of transformer that a possible danger would take place anytime. This paper presents a diagnostic system which includes a PC computer and an on-line gas detector to monitor a transformer located at Tainan Primary Substation in Taiwan. Through on-line monitoring the concentrations of the dissolved gases, the proposed diagnostic system offers a way to interpret the incipient fault causes. The artificial neural network (ANN) algorithm is employed to analyze the types of faults.

Title	AN OPENED DISTRIBUTED PLATFORM FOR AUTOMATIC CHAINING OF MULTIMEDIA INDEXING TOOLS
Authors	Bassem HAIDAR & Bilal CHEBARO
Abstract	In the last decade, many research projects have focused on algorithms for segmentation and indexing of multimedia contents, many multimedia indexing tools has been developed by research laboratories. However many indexes need to be produced by a sequence of tools chained in a given order. In this paper, we present a distributed platform for automatic multimedia indexing. This platform allows the automatic chaining of multimedia indexing tools in order to produce an expected index. We propose an algorithm for chaining multimedia indexing tools based on the input/output data type compatibility. This algorithm uses a backward recursive tracking to construct the chain(s) able to generate a given index. We propose scenarios to ensure the consistency of the automatic constructed chain(s). Distributed multimedia indexing tools are accessible via web services. A generic wrapper allows the easy integration of multimedia executable tools on the platform. The communication is based on SOAP/RPC protocol A central server plays the role of a repository and allows a centralised access to the platform.

Title	Holistic Review of Requirements Engineering Processes, Tools/Technologies, & Methodologies
Authors	Shams-ul-Arif & Qadeem Khan & S. A. K. Ghayyur
Abstract	This paper discusses software requirements engineering in deep with the help of the standard technologies, processes and methodologies. Requirements engineering is the initial step of software development activity in which the requirements from the customer are elicited and documented. This activity is very much vital for the success of the project because all of the rest of activities depends upon requirements engineering such as designing, implementation, testing, operation and maintenance. Requirements engineering is an iterative process which continues iteratively until the project is complete. The requirements engineering process models are the set of activities used to define the life cycle model for requirements engineering. There are many requirements engineering process models such as linear sequential model, linear iterative processes model, iterative process model and spiral model. These models have certain advantages and disadvantages hence there is no ideal requirements engineering process model but the problems with requirements engineering process models can be minimized by making the active involvement of the stakeholders whose concerns need to be addressed. The other main element in requirements engineering is the utilization of tools for requirements elicitation. The variety of tools exists such as interview, survey, questionnaires, task analysis, group-work, card sorting, CRC cards, observations, prototyping, repository grids etc. These tools are usually used in the conjunction so that complete requirements are elicited. The requirements engineering process can be automate by utilizing modern technology such as Neural Impulse Actuator (NIA) and web-based mobile technology. These technologies make advancement in the requirements engineering tools by automating them. For example NIA reads the human mind and we- based mobile technology provides the internet facility for stakeholder communication and also provides the dynamic plotting and arrangement of CRC cards, group tasks, charts, bars etc. The whole study has been grouped into requirements engineering processes, tools, technologies and methodologies along with their negative and positive aspects and also our suggested approaches. We also suggested the use of new technologies to automate the requirements engineering process.

Title	INTERPLAY BETWEEN MULTIPLE ALIGNMENT AND STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF PROTEINS: SEQUENCE VERSUS STRUCTURE SIMILARITY. (Short Review)
Authors	P. Raja Rajeshwari & Dr. Allam Apparao
Abstract	The rapid increase in experimental data ,along with recent progress in computational methods has brought modern biology a step closer towards solving one of the most challenging problems: prediction of protein function and sequence versus structure similarity. A protein sequence is an important piece of information , it becomes more revealing and valuable when compared with others from a variety of different organisms. Protein function at its most basic level requires understanding of molecular interactions. This paper presents the up-to-date advances in computational methods for structural pattern discovery and for prediction of molecular associations. We focused on the role of multiple alignments to identify the most significant regions of a sequence - Conserved residues . Conserved residues are often key to predicting a protein function. Going further, by precisely locating these conserved residues in space, provides clues to their biological roles. The strict conservation of these residues suggests that, they have a specific role in the protein function , such as participating in an interaction with another protein or a small molecule.
