A Study on the Program Comprehension and Debugging Processes of Novice Programmers<title><![CDATA[A Study on the Program Comprehension and Debugging Processes of Novice Programmers]]></title> 
<description><![CDATA[This research presents an empirical study on the program comprehension and debugging processes of novice programmers. We provide empirical evidence that the increase exposure to a large number of quality code modification and adaptation in formal teaching is a viable technique for novices to learn program debugging but not for program comprehension. The empirical study is based on case studies at one of the Malaysian universities among the first-degree Information Technology programs students taking Java Programming, an elective programming course. We design a quasi-experiment with non-randomized quota sampling control group with pre-test-post-test. This experiment looks into the program comprehension and debugging constructs at the micro level. Code segments in Java programming language between 5-25 lines of codes are given for the students to try to comprehend or debug manually with pen and paper within a specific timeframe. It will form part of the normal assessment tests for the course. The pre-test involve correct code while the post-test involve both correct and (logical and run-time) bugged code. A control group of 80 students and a treated group of 24 students form the non-randomized quota samples.]]></description>

Secure Spiral: A Secure Software Development Model<title><![CDATA[Secure Spiral: A Secure Software Development Model]]></title> 
<description><![CDATA[Secure software is the demand of time in this connected world. Security needs to be given high priority in software development life cycle. Considering security as a non-functional requirement in software and giving a side thought to it after development of software only results a software with vulnerabilities. Software engineering is still lagging in secure software development processes. Due to it&#146;s critically, security should be integrated in software life cycle process from the very beginning of development of software. Current research implements the secure development phases in spiral model and proposes a new security aware spiral.]]></description>

A Novel Multi-attribute Allocation Method Based on Entropy Principle<title><![CDATA[A Novel Multi-attribute Allocation Method Based on Entropy Principle]]></title> 
<description><![CDATA[This research studies the key problem of multi-attribute allocation in multi-attribute decision. Proper attribute allocation is very important in the decision process. In order to solve uncertainty from distribution of attributes, a novel multi-attribute allocation method is presented based on optimization theory and maximum entropy principle. A linear combination weights mathematical model is also proposed through mathematical derivation. Numerical results are provided using typical test data and prove the efficiency of the novel method.]]></description>
