Due to the increasing popularity, there is a need of techniques for the quantifiable measurement of AOP-based system design models. The main idea therefore is to develop such a technique, which can evaluate AOP-based software models for the association between them, and to improve traceability of system requirements. Software metric could map design models with each other, and could provide a mechanism to trace requirements from early phase to their implementation. There are some metrics already available to evaluate some specific property of an aspect-oriented model, such as cohesion, coupling, size, etc. However, there was a chance to design metrics for evaluating Aspect Oriented and UML models comprehensively, for example for evaluating mapping of models, association between models and inter and intra-dependencies of models.

In this pragma-linguistic paper, the authors aim to review the different proposed theories and definitions of vague language that were suggested in the middle of the past century. Through discourse analysis of vague usage, authors justify politeness in communication, gender, culture, press releases, and education. Authors found that there is dissatisfaction among speakers with describing the terminologies and possible meanings of a text. Another promising finding is that the vague language creates controversial semantics and pragmatics discussions among discourse genre specialists. The listener's comprehension of quantifiers and linguistic approximators is limited to an exact number of vague words; thus, speakers are strongly recommended to avoid using vagueness in their speeches.

The ability of an enterprise to succeed in such a competitive environment is highly dependent on their capacity in developing software with faster speed. To work with such a pace enterprises are creating increasingly sophisticated software with requirements for business with efficiency. The practices required to develop these systems must conform to the increasing degree of innovation and also the evolving needs of organizations. Agile helps the enterprises to produce value more efficiently and continuously on a periodic and predictable schedule. This study provides a summary of the Agile from implementation perspective by discussing multiple agile methods, including its strategies, principles, practices and values for implementation. According to this study and observations, agile methodologies can provide excellent benefits for medium and small scaled projects. Also, explains how one can scale Agile for large projects using SAFe 4.0.

The number of internet connected devices are increasing every day and approximate there will be 34 billion IoT devices by 2020. It is observed that security is very weak in these devices and they can be easily compromised by hacker as some manufactures failed to implement basic security. Current devices use standards that are easy to implement and works for most forms of communications and storage. There is no such standard solution that will work on every device within the Internet of Things, because of the varied constraints between different devices, resulting in classifications within the Internet of Things. This research addresses security challenges in the Internet of Things (IoT). To this end, it's the discussions of the IoT evolution, architecture and its applications in industries. Secondly, it classifies and examines privacy threats by survey, pointing out the challenges that need to be overcome to ensure that the Internet of Things becomes a reality.

Admittedly, it is often believed that literature is rich in linguistic knowledge and has been proved as a good source of well-developed structure. Namely thatEnglish teachers nowadays are concerned about their teaching style; thus, they are seeking new ways to teach the writing skill effectively, one of which is using literature to improve students' writing skills. Therefore, this study tries to find out the effectiveness of literature as a tool in improving the writing skill for students at primary levels. To achieve this aim, the researcher interviewed (20) male and female teachers who are selected semi-randomly from public schools in Palestine; West Bank and Gaza Strip. In this respect, the present paper explores teachers' opinions regarding using literature as a tool to improve students' writing skills. Results showed that teachers should invest more...

The femtocells provide a solution to improve indoor coverage of cellular mobile devices in the areas where the coverage is weak and intermittent while using macrocells. The use of data hungry devices such as, tablets, smartphones and other wireless devices are increasing rapidly with time and is a driving force for innovative ways in wireless communication to provide fast access to the internet, more capacity and higher quality of service. Femtocells can provide a useful way for mobile operators to offer a better user experience and deliver indoors broadband services consistently and reliably for a comparable context of application, distances, and obstacles. The proposed work will analyze the efficiency of femtocells in terms of its convergence along with WiMAX wireless technologies. The study will show how the coverage is improved by femtocells and how the total network capacity gains can be up to many times as compared to the current macro layer networks. This analysis will be based on more detailed performance parameters such as throughput, packet loss, packet end to end delay, download and upload response times for multimedia traffic. The femto access points (FAPs) will enhance data rates via improving link quality, shorter communication distance and less penetration loss resulting into increased capacity of the entire system.
