While, Halal is an industry that was identified as a process that can be provided a lot of content into the KM system by the CoP whether directly or indirectly where they are scatted around the particular states or countries for their future references. The combination of KM and Halal is becoming important in producing and delivering a halal knowledge grid (Halal K-Grid) especially in Malaysia context locally and internationally in order to link and synergies the halal industries which is starting from the beginning of its happening of halal industries inclusive the manufacturing, marketing, as well as its application to the end users. Therefore, there is a need of a special mechanism in terms of or model framework, on how to ontology and in manipul...

Often, when there are changes on employee re-assignment, a lot of time and effort are spent for knowledge transfer activities. This however may not assure that all knowledge and experiences are well transferred and shared; some could be missing or misplaced. In this study, a model has been proposed for managing knowledge and experiences based on experience factory approach to provide a more efficient and effective experience management for software development community. Experience Factory is an infrastructure that aims for reuse of products, processes and experiences gained during a system life cycle. A set of components have been identified as the predictors of the model which eventually forms the two main organizations: project organization and experience factory organization. This study further has gone through a correlational survey research to verify the relatio...

Previous studies have shown that the management of knowledge and experiences in software development has always been an issue. Therefore, the knowledge transfer and information flow are inefficient, misinterpretation, and inconsistencies always occur between individuals or teams, and the organization fails to learn from past projects. It is understood that efficient knowledge and experience management for software development organizations is crucial for the purpose of sharing and future reuse. This paper discusses the prototype development for a proposed model, which is based on the experience factory approach, to manage knowledge and experiences for the software development process. Discussions include the system functionalities and design, infrastructure requirements, and implementation approach. The efficiency and effectiveness of the prototype are evaluated as survey research based on Jennex & Olfman knowledge management success model. Rasch analysis is used for data reliability and validity. Results show positive feedback on the model's efficiency and effectiveness. Additionally, as agreed by most respondents, the top three of the model contributions are: to encourage learning organization, to prevent knowledge loss and to aid in decision making.

They have potentially increased the public value, ranking, prestige, and visibility of researchers, and relevant universities. However, despite the important and rapid growth of research in this area, few efforts have been made to systematically review and integrate the findings from previous research studies or to examine the current state of study regarding IRs. The primary goal of this paper is to provide a better understanding and an in-depth review of the current state of study regarding IRs. This research uses a systematic literature review (SLR) and followed a protocol to properly organize the work related to institutional repositories. The data were collected from primary studies published from 2007 to 2018 from the six major databases (ScienceDirect, IEEE Explorer, Springer, ACM, Taylor and Francis, and Emerald insight). Several papers regarding IRs were reviewed, applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, and a total of 115 studies were included as the main part of this research. The results obtained from these studies indicated that the absence of knowledge of open access IRs among scholars and institutions and inadequate information and communication technology infrastructure were significant challenges behind the development of open access IRs. Meanwhile, enhanced visibility of the academic institution, increased local and global rankings, increased prestige and public value, and improved teaching, learning, and research development by the scholars of the institution were found to be the main benefits of institutional repositories. This paper also highlighted that most of the studies in this research area were focused on the "deployment, implementation, and adoption" and "benefits and challenges" of institutional repositories. The outcomes of this paper can assist future researchers by providing a roadmap of institutional repositories and highlighting guidelines for successful implementation of IRs in higher learning institutions.

The principal problems with REP are knowledge conflict and the failure to mention a variety of knowledge and requirements changes. Despite of many existing studies relating to KA, inadequate effort has been directed towards investigating the full part played by the KA process in REP. The purpose of this paper is to bridge this gap using a software prototype that uses the KA model in the REP. This study proposes a KA model using an iterative triangulation method. The proposed model is validated through a case study by using a software prototype developed based on the proposed KA model to see if this KA model is effective for software developers in REP by improving the completeness, correctness, and understandability of the elicited requirements knowledge. Research findings are based on responses of 40 respondents from software development organizations. The results of case study confirmed the effectiveness of KA model for REP with respect to completeness, correctness, and understandability. This research answers the call to assess knowledge in REP by developing a KA model and prototype to fill the existing gap in this area. Overall, a KA model for REP is introduced and validated to identify and assess knowledge that supports knowledge communication in REP.

In order to test the model, a quantitative method was employed such as distributing questionnaires. A total of 129 graduate students registered for statistics in social science course from selected faculties in Universiti Putra Malaysia were chosen based on stratified random sampling. In this study, structural equation modeling (SEM) which is a data analysis method was employed to provide the info of statistics performance through the analysis of direct and indirect effect. The results of the study demonstrated that service quality was the most influential variable in this model (followed by system quality), thus highlighting the importance of service quality for students' performance in statistics; nevertheless, the findings did not support the mediation of an intention to use and users' satisfaction. Implications of our findings will enable future researchers to continue studies on SLT on a broader basis of theoretical support.

Effective knowledge management system (KMS) should be able to deliver relevant knowledge to the right knowledge user at the right time. Yet, existing KMS is limited in several ways, and still largely relies on human efforts to access, extract and filter information pertinent to their knowledge need. Successful KMS requires the identification of proper technology designed with the right system features to support the KM activities, hence achieve the goals of KM. Due to this motivation, this paper aims to discuss the application of semantic technology to enhance the KMS and propose a semantic KM model to support collaborative learning environment. This preliminary model has been proposed based on the review of the literatures on KM, KMS, semantic technology and collaborative learning environment and the verification of the model components will be done using a questionnaire survey. A pilot survey was conducted to several academicians in Higher Learning Institutions (HLIs) in Malaysia to validate the survey instruments before the actual survey is carried out. Rasch Unified Measurement Method (RUMM) is used to analyze the pilot data. As a result, Person reliability is found to be quite high, but Item reliability suggested fair data. A few respondents and items were identified as misfits with distorted measurements. Some problematic questions are revised and the negative questions are considered to be reworded into positive questions.

Eventhough, there are many types of technology of statistical learnig tool (SLT) which can be used to support and enhance T&L environment, however, there is lack of a common standard knowledge management as a knowledge portal for guidance especially in relation to infrastructure requirement of SLT in servicing the community of user (CoU) such as educators, students and other parties who are interested in performing this technology as a tool for their T&L. Therefore, there is a need of a common standard infrastructure requirement of knowledge portal in helping CoU for managing of statistical knowledge in acquiring, storing, desseminating and applying of the statistical knowedge for their specific purposes. Futhermore, by having this infrastructure requirement of knowledge portal model of SLT as a guidance in promoting knowledge of best practise among the CoU, it can also enhance the quality and productivity of their work towards excellence of statistical knowledge application in education system environment.

Therefore, Knowledge management (KM) is critical to provide an environment for sharing and sustaining knowledge. Issues such as inadequate knowledge and lack on information sharing are still regarded as major challenges in SM. This paper presents the results of a survey on KM of SM process in selected higher learning institutions (HLIs) in Malaysia. Based on the survey, several deficiencies are identified as common to HLIs. Domain knowledge is important but these are seldom stored in KMS or other electronic means. Maintainers also spent considerable efforts collaborating with other parties to obtain information. Therefore, resolving these issues should be given high priority.

Software maintenance (SM) is a process that requires lots of knowledge. Maintainers must know what changes should do to the software, where to do those changes and how those changes can affect other modules of the system. Knowledge management system (KMS) can support the processes of knowledge creation, storage or retrieval, transfer and application. KMS in SM could help the organization to make tacit knowledge into explicit and therefore decrease the dependency on employees' cognition. This paper is to apply KMS architecture in SM environment to overcome the problem faced by software maintainers during the software maintenance process.

The generation code of models is the process of creating a source code from a model using generation rules. In this paper, we present the generation rules that are used to support the automated code generator of POMA architecture to generate the source code of the entire interactive system. These Platform-Specific Model (PSM) models are based on patterns which illustrate how several individual models of patterns can be generated at different levels of abstraction such as PSM models to source code in the development of interactive systems.

These days, almost all business operations rely on application system efficiency. Maintenance is also seen as the highest percentage of work activity done in a software development life cycle as many software practitioners and researchers have quoted. Even in 1991 there was already a study by Abran et.al that showed a mere increased in the maintenance activity and support to users. This paper will present the result of a study done on various public and private universities of Klang Valley in Malaysia. Based on the findings, the maintenance tool is seen as helpful and useful for the developers or maintainers of a university application system to assist them in their daily maintenance activity.
