Organizations developing software have realized the importance of processes for improving their productivity and quality of their products. There are different Software Process Improvement (SPI) models and methods available to improve processes of software development. If an organization wants to benefit from these models or methods then there is a need to identify Critical Success Factors (CSFs) and Critical Barriers (CBs) that affect the processes of software development in an organization. In Global Software Development (GSD) software projects are developed in an environment where team members reside in different geographical regions. This type of software development crosses the boundary of a company, a city or even a country. In GSD environment organizations play two types of roles. One role is client role and other is vendor role. Client organization acts as client and outsources software projects to other organizations. On the other hand vendor role works as producers or sellers of GSD environment and develops software for the client organizations. Involvement of these two roles in software development makes GSD environment different and complex. Therefore, models and methods made for GSD organizations should be different from conventional software development. There have been fewer SPI models available for GSD environment One such model is SPIIMM model which is only for client role (organizations acting as clients in GSD environment). Purpose of this research work is to devise an SPI model by identifying CSFs and CBs for vendor roles in GSD environment and to extend software process improvement implementation and management model to assist vendor organizations in GSD environment evaluating and improving their process maturity levels. Flow of this research work consists of a systematic literature review, survey from different Pakistani organizations, development of a model called Ext-SPIIMM for vendors of GSD organizations and assessment of developed model with a case study.

ڈاکٹر عبدالوہاب عزام مصری

ڈاکٹر عبدالوہاب عزام مصری
دوسرا حادثہ دنیائے عرب کی نامور شخصیت ڈاکٹر عبدالوہاب عزام مصری کی وفات کا ہے، وہ عربی دنیا کے اکابررجال میں تھے، ان میں علم و سیاست دونوں کا جتماع تھا علوم و ادب کے فاضل، عربی، فارسی، ترکی، انگریزی، فرنچ وغیرہ متعدد زبانوں کے ماہر تھے، اردو سے بھی واقفیت رکھتے تھے، انہوں نے مصر اور لندن کی یونیورسٹیوں سے ڈاکٹریٹ کی ڈگری حاصل کی تھی، ابتدا میں مدرسہ قضاء شرعی کے استاد مقرر ہوئے تھے، پھر یونیورسٹی میں عربی، فارسی اور ترکی کے پروفیسر، پھر اسی یونیورسٹی میں شعبۂ السنہ مشرقیہ کے صدر مقرر ہوئے، اور آخر میں آرٹس کالج کے پرنسپل ہوگئے تھے، علم کیساتھ سیاست بھی ممتاز تھے، چنانچہ مختلف اوقات میں حکومت مصر کی جانب سے لندن سعودی عرب اور پاکستان کے سفیر مقرر ہوئے، تھوڑے دن ہوئے سعودی حکومت نے ریاض یونیورسٹی کے قیام و تاسیس کے سلسلہ میں ان کی خدمات حاصل کی تھیں، ابھی وہ اس کام کو انجام دے رہے تھے کہ پیام اجل آگیا، انہوں نے اپنے قلم و دماغ سے علم و فن اور دنیائے عرب کی بڑی قیمتی خدمات انجام دیں اور علمی مضامین کے علاوہ بہت سی محققانہ تصانیف اور تراجم یادگار چھوڑے، عربی دنیا میں ان کی موت سے جو جگہ خالی ہوئی ہے وہ مشکل سے بھر سکے گی، اﷲ تعالیٰ علم و ملت کے اس خادم کو اپنے دامن رحمت میں جگہ دے۔
(شاہ معین الدین ندوی، جولائی ۱۹۵۹ء)

Fasl and Wasl are the burning topics of ‘ilm ul-Bayan (Arabic Rhetoric) alongside it is very initial element which brings structure, beautification, embellishment and improvement. Many Arab scholars, in particular, Arab pioneer Rhetoricians had discussed and still have been discussing as well as discoursing Fasl and Wasl related matters. They put their all attention deeply to both of them in the discoursing of Qur’an structure. The utmost susceptible scholar Abu Bakr Abd al-Qahir bin ‘Abd arRahman bin Muhammad al-Jurjanī, the figurative personality, who first time in the history had discussed Fasl and Wasl based structures in his two prolific books; Asrar al-Balaghah (The Secrets of Elucidation) and Dala'il al-I’jaz (Intimations of Inimitability) theoretically and practically. Later on it was developed by Abu alQasim Mahmud bin ‘Umar al-Zamakhshari as he applied both theories to his commentary on Holy Qur’an known as “Al-Kashshaaf (the Revealer)”. The following research attempts all fruitful efforts spent by scholars having different ethics. It brings arguments towards where it is required, bringing out a short comparison between contemporary and classical Fasl and Wasl based perceptions resulting in what the scholar thinks in person.

Hermitian Geometry of Twistor Spaces

In the present thesis we investigate the almost Hermitian geometry of the twistor spaces of oriented Riemannian 4-manifolds. Holomorphic and orthogonal bisectional curvatures have been intensively explored on K ̈hler manifolds and a lot of important results have been obtained in this case. a But in the non-K ̈hler case these curvatures are not very well studied and it seems a that the main reason for that is the lack of interesting examples. The first part of the thesis is devoted to the study of the curvature properties of Atiyah-Hitchin- Singer and Eells-Salamon almost Hermitian structures. This is used to provide some interesting examples of almost Hermitian 6-manifolds of constant or strictly positive holomorphic, Hermitian and orthogonal bisectional curvatures. In the second part of the thesis we determine the Gray-Hervella classes of the so-called compatible almost Hermitian structures on the twistor spaces, recently in- troduced by G. Deschamps . The interest in determining these classes is motivated by the fact that the Gray-Hervella classification is a very useful tool in studying almost complex manifolds. Our results in this direction generalize the well known integrabil- ity theorems by Atiyah-Hitchin-Singer, Eells-Salamon and Deschamps and show that there is a close relation between the properties of the spectrum of the anti-self-dual Weyl tensor of an almost K ̈hler 4-manifold and the almost Hermitian geometry of a its twistor space.
