Motivation and Goal Sample Clauses

Motivation and Goal. Nowadays, the two most prominent app stores, the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store, contain more than three million apps and hundreds of millions of app reviews. App Stores became an interesting source of information for software developers and requirements engineers because they can potentially reach billions of people and aggregate information from customers, business, and technical perspectives. Each app is represented by an app page that contains information like the description of the app, user reviews, screenshots, and the average rating. The goal of SAFE [22] is to provide a uniform approach that can extract app features, such as “send email” and “synchronize calendars” from two different sources; the app description and the app reviews. App descriptions are written by developers and are used for describing the functionality of the app they provide. User reviews on the other hand are the customers of the developers that may provide feedback in terms of a star rating and a written text. SAFE extracts the app features of the description and the reviews, without prior machine learning training, to analyze what features the developer provide and to understand how their users talk about it. The feature extraction outperforms two state of the art approaches by achieving an average f- measure of 46% for app descriptions and 35% for app reviews. The final step of SAFE is a matching of features stated in the description with those users actually discuss in app reviews. This matching provides new insights to the app/software. App features that are described but not mentioned in the reviews, might be an unpopular feature or a feature people are satisfied with. We could get more information about the concrete meaning by also including context data (implicit feedback) in the future. If the app feature is not described but frequently mentioned in the app reviews a might be a feature request. If a feature is described and discussed it might be popular feature, a bug report, or a change request. The matching achieved an accuracy of 87%.

Motivation and Goal. In paper [43], we introduce user rationale for software engineering. Since nowadays, social media, user forums, and app stores have a huge number of users, software vendors started to give these channels an increasing attention. Software vendors especially look at the input of users in order to better make decisions about software design, development, and evolution. As of this situation, this work focuses on the main questions, is there a user rationale which can be valuable for software and requirements engineering and thus should be captured and managed? Design rationale focuses on design related decision, user rationale on the other hand, focuses on concepts like the issues users encounter, alternatives they consider, their criteria of assessments, and their decisions. In this work, we found that issues, alternatives, criteria, and decisions often co-occur in user comments and that in 21% to 70% they contain justifications. Further, we found that the more co-occurrences exist and the longer the user comment is, the more it is likely to have a high justification density. The goal of this work is to automatically mine the concepts of user rationales from user comments.

  • Profitability The Board reviewed detailed information regarding revenues received by XXXX under the Agreement. The Board considered the estimated costs to XXXX, and pre-tax profits realized by XXXX, from advising the DWS Funds, as well as estimates of the pre-tax profits attributable to managing the Fund in particular. The Board also received information regarding the estimated enterprise-wide profitability of DIMA and its affiliates with respect to all fund services in totality and by fund. The Board and the Fee Consultant reviewed XXXX’s methodology in allocating its costs to the management of the Fund. Based on the information provided, the Board concluded that the pre-tax profits realized by XXXX in connection with the management of the Fund were not unreasonable. The Board also reviewed certain publicly available information regarding the profitability of certain similar investment management firms. The Board noted that, while information regarding the profitability of such firms is limited (and in some cases is not necessarily prepared on a comparable basis), DIMA and its affiliates’ overall profitability with respect to the DWS Funds (after taking into account distribution and other services provided to the funds by XXXX and its affiliates) was lower than the overall profitability levels of most comparable firms for which such data was available. Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there are economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund and whether the Fund benefits from any economies of scale. The Board noted that the Fund’s investment management fee schedule includes fee breakpoints. The Board concluded that the Fund’s fee schedule represents an appropriate sharing between the Fund and DIMA of such economies of scale as may exist in the management of the Fund at current asset levels.
