Unsupervised Human Activity Recognition Using the Clustering Approach: A Review.

Currently, many applications have emerged from the implementation of software development and hardware use, known as the Internet of things. One of the most important application areas of this type of technology is in health care. Various applications arise daily in order to improve the quality of life and to promote an improvement in the treatments of patients at home that suffer from different pathologies. That is why there has emerged a line of work of great interest, focused on the study and analysis of daily life activities, on the use of different data analysis techniques to identify and to help manage this type of patient. This article shows the result of the systematic review of the literature on the use of the Clustering method, which is one of the most used techniques in the analysis of unsupervised data applied to activities of daily living, as well as the description of variables of high importance as a year of publication, type of article, most used algorithms, types of dataset used, and metrics implemented. These data will allow the reader to locate the recent results of the application of this technique to a particular area of knowledge.

Influential Factors Affecting Secure Software Development Implementation at Public Service Organization: An Exploratory Study

Developing secure software is a major concern in public service organizations as highly-sensitive and confidential data are transacted through online applications. A great number of departments around the public sectors are depending on online services to ensure effective services delivery. Despite practicing numerous methods, models and standards to ensure secure software development, deployment of the processes has not been able to be institutionalized. On that account, this paper presents the results of an exploratory study conducted with the aim to investigate the factors influencing the implementation of secure software development practices at the Malaysian Public Service Organization (MPS). In the efforts to achieve this objective, 21 practitioners from 8 agencies who were involved in software development were interviewed. The collected data were then analyzed using the grounded theory technique. The study revealed 17 influential factors that affected the implementation of secure software development practices.
