Title	A SURVEY ON SECURITY REQUIREMENTS ENGINEERING
Authors	P.SALINI, S.KANMANI
Abstract	Security engineering is a new research area in software engineering that covers the definition of processes, plans and designs for security. The researchers are working in this area and however there is a lack in security requirements treatment in this field. The security requirements is one of the non functional requirements which acts as constrains on the functions of the system. An increasing part of the communication and sharing of information in our society utilizes electronic media. Many organizations, especially distributed and Net-centric are entirely dependent on well functioning information systems. Thus IT security is becoming central to the ability to fulfill business goals, build trustworthy systems, and protect assets. In order to develop systems with adequate security features, it is essential to capture the corresponding security needs and requirements. Security requirements engineering is emerging as a branch of software engineering, spurred by the realization that security must be dealt with early during requirements phase. A number of researchers’ proposals have major limitations as they treat security in system oriented terms. In this paper we present a view on Security Requirements, Security Requirements issues, and types, Security Requirements Engineering and methods. Comparison on different methods and trends of Security Requirements Engineering is given. With this short view information security requirements for banks and the approach that can be adopted for security requirements engineering can be easily identified by the developers.

Title	A SYSTEMATIC MAPPING ON ANALYSIS OF ISSUES IN OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
Authors	KAREEM ULLAH, SHAHBAZ AHMED, FURRUKH SHAHZAD, FALAK SHER
Abstract	The open source software development methodology is initiated from the concept of source code sharing. It has many promises in order to develop high quality software projects with low cost. There are certain issues which are associated with open source software development. This research paper is based on systematic mapping in order to highlight the issues of open source software development. An evidence based study is performed in order to accumulate the knowledge about these issues. This knowledge will help to reduce the failure rate of open source software projects. When the failure rate will decrease, then the success rate of open source software projects will also increase. By this way all the promises to produce software projects with good quality and low cost can be fulfilled without facing the hurdles. In this paper we will analyze the issues of open source software development in order to make its adoption easy across the world. In this paper the systematic mapping is used, which is a most suitable way.

Title	TEST EXECUTION EFFORT ESTIMATION (TEEE) MODEL IN EXTREME PROGRAMMING
Authors	MUHAMMAD DANYAL ASHRAF, PROF. NAEEM U. JANJUA
Abstract	Nowadays applications are being built by using Agile Methodologies. There are small iterations under each release. Customers write user stories and after prioritizing them are included in the iteration. The communication is very high with the customer. There is a continuous integration of code and builds take place to the customer very frequently due to which customer’s feedback comes quickly and rapidly so in this situation it is very important to have quality build release. For this it is vital that whatever the testing needs to be done in Agile software development is properly estimated. In this research paper, different approaches and techniques have been studied for Test Effort Estimation. After studying and comparing these approaches and techniques in detail, it was observed that there are still some drawbacks. To cover up these drawbacks, we have proposed the “Test Execution Effort Estimation” TEEE Model based on user stories which can be helpful for those applications which are developed by using Extreme Programming as an Agile Methodology. Low-level test estimation and high-level test estimation is also proposed through this model. And at last, we have also evaluated the proposed model through an empirical study.

Title	COMMUNICATION CHALLENGES IN SUCCESS OF OFFSHORE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
Authors	FURRUKH SHAHZAD, SHAHBAZ AHMED, , FALAK SHER, KAREEM ULLAH
Abstract	Communication is a major factor of success or failure for any software project. In offshore software development OSD, communication is more critical than collocated software development. Frequent communication is not always possible due to challenges like time zone differences, holiday customs etc where client and vendor working hours do not overlap. This communication problem affects the success of off shoring decision in terms of cost, schedule, time-to-market, client-vendor trust, and customer and business satisfaction. For successful software project off shoring, successful communication is necessary. This paper provides a preliminary exploration for communication mode/mediums and challenges involved in OSD. A classification is presented for offshore software development activities and the communication modes/mediums used to perform those activities. A hypothetical framework has also been proposed on the basis of this classification.

Title	SPF BASED SELINUX OPERATING SYSTEM FOR MULTIMEDIA APPLICATIONS
Authors	NITISH PATHAK, NEELAM SHARMA
Abstract	Trusted Operating Systems, offer a number of security mechanisms that can help protect information, make a system difficult to break into, and confine attacks far better than traditional operating systems. However, this security will come at a cost, since it can degrade the performance of an operating system. This performance loss is one of the reasons why Trusted Operating Systems have not become popular. While Trusted Operating Systems offer an incredible amount of security, observations about computing workloads suggest that only some parts of the operating system security are actually necessary. Web servers are the best example. For many web servers, the majority of the information on the server is publicly readable and available on the Internet. Therefore, if a Trusted Operating System is used on a web server, any security used to secure the confidentiality of the server’s information is not necessary. Any security used to protect the confidentiality of web server data can be considered a waste of computational resources. The security needed in web servers is the security to protect the integrity of data, not the confidentiality of data. Other workloads such as multimedia or database workloads may also only need parts of the operating system security.
