INVESTIGATING GAME DEVELOPERS’ GUILT EMOTIONS USING SENTIMENT ANALYSIS Lamiaa Mostafa and MarwaAbd Elghany Department of Business Information Systems, College of Management and Technology, Arab Academy for Science & Technology, Alexandria, Egypt ABSTRACT Game Development is one of the most important emerging fields in software engineering era. Game addiction is the nowadays disease which is combined with playing computer and videogames. Shame is a negative feeling about self evaluationas well as guilt that is considered as a negative evaluation of the transgressing behaviour, both are associated withadaptive and concealing responses. Sentiment analysis demonstrates a huge progression towards the understanding of web users’ opinions. In this paper, the sentiments of game developers are examined to measure their guilt’s emotions when working in this career. The sentiment analysis model is implementedthrough the following steps: sentiment collector, sentiment pre-pr...

A Novel Effort Estimation Model for Software Requirement Changes During Software Development Phase Jalal Shah, Nazri Kama and Nur Azaliah A Bakar Department of Razak Faculty of Technology and Informatics, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia ABSTRACT Software Requirements Changes is a typical phenomenon in any software development project. Restricting incoming changes might cause user dissatisfaction and allowing too many changes might cause delay in project delivery. Moreover, the acceptance or rejection of the change requests become challenging for software project managers when these changes are occurred in Software Development Phase. Where in Software Development Phase software artifacts are not in consistent state such as: some of the class artifacts are Fully Developed, some are Half Developed, some are Major Developed, some are MinorDeveloped and some are Not Developed yet. However, software effort estimation and change impact analysis are the t...

A Formal Method for Mapping Software Engineering Practices to Essence  Murat Pasa Uysal Department of Management Information Systems, Başkent University, Ankara, Turkey ABSTRACT Essence Framework (EF) aims at addressing the core problems of software engineering (SE) and its practices. As a relatively new framework, one important issue for EF has been mapping software practices to its conceptual domain. Although there are several works describing systematic procedures, a review of literature cannot suggest a study using a formal method. The study is conducted according to the guidelines of Design Science Research (DSR) Method. The research contribution is classified as an “application of a new solution (the formal method) to a new problem (mapping software practices to EF). The formal method employs an algorithm based on Concept Algebra and it is applied in a Scrum case study. The results are promising and they differ from the ones exist in the current EF related lite...
