Elizabeth Reyes:Email: beth.roquero@gmail.com | Phone: 022 028 3907 | Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/reyes-elizabeth/

Bio:Elizabeth completed Electronics and Communications Engineering in Mapua University in Manila, Philippines. She worked as an Associate Engineer in Trend Micro and as a Telecommunications/Design Engineer in Manila Electric Company (MERALCO) before emigrating to Canada. She is a well-experienced Technical Support / IT Help Desk Analyst. Her most recent IT work experience was with Fujitsu Americas Inc. in Montreal, where she worked as a senior analyst in the email team and provided VIP phone support for Government of Alberta employees, and provided training to new email analysts.

Abstract:Phishing is defined as an act of getting personal information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card numbers. People do this for fraudulent activities or even for serious cases of identity theft. When it comes to health, as many people would say, prevention is better than cure. Same goes to the internet world. The researcher believes it would be beneficial to determine the reasons why users fall for phishing emails. Many researches on phishing attacks have been done yet there is just a little information on why users fall for phishing emails. Hence, the research question: What are the factors that affect a user to fall for a phishing email?

Research Question

What are the factors that affect a user to fall for a phishing email?

Significance of the Research

▪ A study conducted by IBM found out that 70% ofcredentials are collected within the first hour of aphishing attack (D’Alfonso, 2017)

▪ To develop tools that would effectively combatphishing, it is important to first understand the reasonswhy users fall for them (Downs, Holbrook, & Cranor,2007)

▪ Studies by APWG (2009), Microsoft (2010), andSymantec (2010) shows that phishing attacks' mosttargeted industry is the financial industry (Choo, 2011)

SQL Standard – Not the Standard?

Joel Sevilla: Email: jfcsevilla@gmail.com | Phone: 027 397 8183 | Linked-in: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jfcsevilla

Bio:I am a software developer with more than 10 years of professional experience in an open systems programming. Exposure in the industry facilitated strong database development skills required to analyze and code complex SQL Server and Oracle queries in conjunction with server-side scripting languages (C#, VB.Net and J2EE), SQL Server Reporting Services, and SQL Server Integration Services. My career started after passing a licensure exam (Electronics and Communications Engineering) in 2005, and a pre-employment development training in 2006. I then served as a software developer in BPI (Bank of the Philippine Islands, among the top 3 banks) and Deltek Systems (an American software solutions provider) 6 and 5 years, respectively.

Abstract:In 1983, IBM finally managed to complete a database management system after more than a decade of the technology’s conception by one of IBM’s own researcher. From the onset, people from the IT sector knew that SQL (Structured Query Language) is the database language of the future given IBM’s prestige as an industry leader at that time. Since then, SQL grew in fame and other players competed in the market with their own SQL implementation that resulted to various dialects of SQL. The International Organization for Standardization recognized the language as an international standard and has published specifications and revisions since 1986. As of this writing, not one DBMS provider has ever claimed full compliance to any of these revisions. This study aims to compare the degree of compliance as well as the quality of standards implementation in accordance to SQL-2011 specifications between these providers: Oracle, Microsoft, and PostgreSQL.

I also have experience in managing IT testing teams and development teams from different parts of the world. Our projects spanned Agile works for clients in the US, Australia and UK.

I also helped start up companies from the US and Australia in hiring local IT teams in the Philippines. In addition, I have experience in administration and SEO.

I have a strong passion and interest in marketing and managing interactions with people. I am a person who does not fear trying anything because I am always eager and have a passion to learn and accept challenges. I am very excited to learn more as an individual and a professional in this industry.

Abstract:Cybervetting through social media is now one of the most popular ways of screening and vetting job hopefuls, on a global scale. This proposal aims to discover the most popular social media platform used by Human Resources professionals, hiring managers, and recruiters in the Information Technology sector of New Zealand in their IT recruitment process. In addition, it hopes to find the most important criterion that organisations consider to make hiring decisions, as well as the other factors that are assessed to determine a potential employee’s suitability. Finally, it hopes to add to the literature on the topic and help establish a guide that both organisations and IT professionals can use, where successful recruitment is concerned. This proposal aims to explore the influence of social media on the hiring practices of human resource professionals in the IT industry in New Zealand.

PROPOSED OUTCOME

CONCLUSION

ABSTRACT

This proposal aims to discover the most popular social

media platform used by Human Resources

professionals, hiring managers, and recruiters in the

Information Technology sector of New Zealand in their

IT recruitment process. The study will make use of a

voluntary online questionnaire on Social Media

Screening that will be emailed to HR and recruitment

managers and professionals, whose contact

information will be pulled from the database of the

Human Resource Institute of New Zealand (HRINZ),

which governs the industry in the country. Data from

respondents will be compiled with Survey Monkey, and

analysed with descriptive statistics. Once approved, it

will run for 14 weeks.

Identify the list of factors that are considered by IT

recruiters in making hiring decisions;

Give significance in detailing the number of IT

companies in New Zealand that make use of social

media in cybervertting.

Cybervetting is a process by which employers make

use of online information for profiling or conducting

informal background checks on potential employees

(Battis, 2016; Berkelaar, 2010).

Studies say that 44% of applicants have lied about

work histories, 41% lied about their education, and

23% lied about licences (Berger, 2015).

Doing online background checks as supplements to

traditional background checks helps hiring

managers vet more data available through social

media.

After collecting the data from Survey Monkey, it will be

downloaded into a statistical software programme and

will be subsequently analysed with an SPSS tool.

Testing the difference between criterion will be

conducted with chi-square to see the comparison of

results. Descriptive statistics through frequency tables

and charts will be used to present the findings.

Information security, as defined by ISACA (Information Systems Audit and Control Association), is ensuring the CIA concept (confidentiality, integrity and the availability) of the information. Confidentiality is protecting the information from unauthorised access and disclosure. Integrity is ensuring that the information is free from improper modification or deletion and keeping its authenticity. Availability is ensuring the reliable access to the information whenever required. The group proposes the use of COBIT 5 for Information Security as it is intended for information security stakeholders such as CISO (Chief Information Security Officer), ISM (Information Security Managers), and other information security engineers, analysts or professionals. COBIT 5 for Information Security provides the framework, examples and guidance for IT governance and for the implementation of information security on any enterprise.

PORTER’S FIVE FORCES ANALYSIS

IT activities, projects or services must

contribute value to every organisation, which is why

an IT agenda must be aligned with clearly defined

business goals. Additionally, it should measure non-IT related

metrics that have a significant impact on the resulting processes,

systems, and results for the business. When business expectations are staked on

good IT management, alignment is successful and can bring about positive results to the business. The

BBC’s previous implementation of DMI gave rise to multiple issues that eventually translated to negative losses for the company. The authors proposed the use of COBIT 5 for the overall IT governance using modules on Information Security, Assurance and Performance Management as it provides the framework, examples, and guidance the management, implementation, quality and capability measurement of the IT system enforced in any enterprise. As BBC can be considered one of the major media companies worldwide, quality services are expected, more so, information security should be vastly guarded. Moreover, an improved IT framework using COBIT 5 was presented which covered all aspects of the organisation’s business and IT goals. The new framework aimed at BBC’s value creation by the interrelation of the IT objectives, enablers, scope, and the stakeholders as an improved model from the 2010 technology plan.

Porter's Five Forces provides an analytical framework for measuring the influence of industry structures on profit potential. It covers: bargaining power of buyers, the bargaining power of suppliers, the threat of new entrants, threats of substitute and services, and rivalry among existing competitors. Its risk to business are measured by force: High, Medium, and Low scores.

A proposed IT plan is presented and discussed based on COBIT 5 guidelines and utilising BBC’s 2010 Technology Framework. The proposed IT plan is based on COBIT 5’s end-to-end governance and management approach and its components.

The utilisation of COBIT 5 framework in strategic IT planning has been proven as an effective approach given the number of

successful case studies in this area. Several success stories were also researched from various

industries and organisational types such as in the government, IT Consulting,

education, automotive industry, and in the financial services. Given its

characteristics of flexibility and compatibility to various

industries, has made COBIT 5 an ideal approach to IT

Governance for organisations today. It

does not only a c c o m m o d a t e customisation to meet the o r g a n i s a t i o n a l requirements, but also encourages it.

The British Broadcasting Company (BBC) as a media organisation, acknowledges technology as central to their business process as they move toward the digital era. The company is positioned to ride with the technological advances and adapt fast since it requires changes that may affect competitiveness, market demands from the business, and behavioural changes from its customers.

IT projects are successful when it is aligned well with the business goals and objectives. Management and delivery of the IT project as

expected provides credibility to the IT organisation and its leadership structure. This report paper presents the critical analysis of the

authors on BBC’s IT strategic plan. Arising from their failed digital transformation project, a Cloud storage solution is

proposed within this case study wherein the governance and management guidelines are

based on COBIT 5 framework. The high-level details of the project are indicated in

this business case report.

Abstract:With the evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT), the concept of smart cities is rising and has gained popularity. Commuters in urban cities face difficulties in finding a free parking space due to the lack of notification process and lack of autonomous parking systems. This causes drivers to make multiple rounds to find a parking spot which causes discomfort and wastes time and fuel, leading to increase in greenhouse gases. With IoT, the troubles of traffic congestion, restricted parking space, and road safety are being addressed. The poster presents a proposal for a cloud enabled Intelligent parking system that helps users in searching for a parking lot and reserving a parking slot through a client side mobile application.

The need to implement Scrum augmented when most of the work was development of pre-silicon infrastructure and readiness of work. Danube Technologies, Inc was chosen as the Scrum education and coaching vendor. After training, the management and participants agreed to implement Scrum principles as per the book and practice for three months. Group and team leads functioned as the product owners for the seven teams, while the author worked as the ScrumMaster.

WaterfallWaterfall – is a heavyweight software development methodology with Plan, Design, Development, Testing and Deployment as phases to be followed in a sequential order. The Waterfall approach is simple to use, clearly defines stages, and is easy to manage tasks. Waterfall approach has disadvantages like no working software is produced until late during life cycle, not a good model for long ongoing and complex projects and cannot accommodate any changing requirements which leads to problems like customer satisfaction, time management and no profit.

ScrumScrum – is an Agile software development methodology with an incremental process of developing sprints. Scrum provides customer satisfaction, increases quality and is time efficient. Scrum has many advantages like helping company in saving time and cost, constant feedback makes it easier to cope with changes and identifying issues well in advance helps in resolving them quickly. The disadvantages to be considered are tasks should be well defined or may lead to increase in project cost and time, needs lot of commitment and experience of team members.

A Review of the Agile Methodology

Lucas Barcellos Victoria:Email: lucasbvictoria@gmail.com | Phone: 027 511 0073 | Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucasvictoria/

Bio:I have 9 years of IT experience, with solid experience in applications support, customer and stakeholders relationship, ERP systems support, Business analysis, Incident and Project Management. My skills are both technical and business focused, I’m able to translate technical language in a simplified way to explain all issues to everyone. I have a lot of knowledge and experience about the ITIL framework and ticketing systems. I have experience with PL/SQL and can create a lot of useful scripts to solve problems or create complex processes directly in the databases. I’m used to solve problems quickly and under pressure, being able to develop the best solution in a small time frame when needed. When not working I like to Cook (I can do a really good Brazilian barbecue and have barista skills) and play Videogames.

Abstract:A project manager should know all the advantages and disadvantages of any management method before choosing the correct one for each project. Currently Agile methods are a trend in the system development industry, as many companies are switching from more traditional methods to Agile, mainly the Scrum Methodology. The Agile philosophy was created from the dissatisfaction from more traditional project management methods, such as Waterfall, in a meeting made by developers in 2001, with the idea of being more flexible with changes and making client active part of the development. There are many studies about Agile explaining its benefits and its success, as it reduce development costs, accommodate changes easier than traditional methods and increases the Client satisfaction by making him part of the development and showing the development with prototypes. Even with all its benefits it can lead to problems like a never ending scope by always changing project requirements and organization communication problems. The objective of this research is to gather information about how the Agile methods are being conducted in New Zealand currently, and to identify its gaps and drawbacks to suggest improvements for them, adding more knowledge to the Agile Community.

Author:YubingShiSubmittedto:SamuelEkundayo

IntroductionTaking students’ attendance by university instructors duringeach class is a time-consuming process especially whenclasses are big.

Some faculty policies require this task to be performed bythe instructor in each lecture. In other words, out of the totalhours that are assigned to a given course, which is typicallyforty-five hours per semester, up to eight hours may be lostto perform this process that usually takes around tenminutes per lecture.

This study proposed a QR Code based student attendancesystem, combined with the indoor positioning technologyand Amazon Rekognition facial comparison service, thesystem can not only prevent the unauthorizedattendance registrationbut also save thelecturer’s timefrom the attendancecheck process.

Abstract:Sustainability and food security is a primary concern particularly in small countries and cities, due to population growth rapid urbanization decrease land resource for agriculture while food demand continues to increase there is also a concern for safe and sustainable food sources.

Traditional agriculture requires colossal land space, human resources and time, urban rooftop farming (URF) comprising various techniques shows potential for increasing food production.

In Agriculture, Aquaponics serves as an integration of aquaculture and growing plants without soil. Aquaponics often encompasses the use of the nutrient-rich water used in raising fish serving as a natural fertilizer for the plants and the vegetables further play a critical role in helping purify the water for the fish.

Taking advantage of available technology Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing and embedded systems can ease the task of evaluating those parameters by deploying actuators and sensors in Aquaponics system.

The purpose of this research proposal is to explore aquaponics potential as an urban smart agriculture farming because until now despite technology advancement in smart cities there is no integrated approach to explore its potential as smart urban agriculture.

ConclusionPortbase was created by a merger between Rotterdam’s Port infolink and Amsterdam’s PortNET .The new organization was set up in 2009 by the Port of Rotterdam Authority and Port of Amsterdam and enjoys wide support amongst the port business community .They transitioned from waterfall toscrum. By scrum the product are delivered on time and the frequent feedbackhelps the customers to know how it works .As a result, can build a relationshipwith customer. As a result of so many feedback and demo’s ,the customers are highly satisfied. Before scrum they didn’t have contact with customers until the product is delivered. Sometimes they produce something different and failed tomeet the customer satisfaction. However, the situation is different afterimplementation the scrum could bring so many values to the organization.

One of the traditional project management methodologies in softwaredevelopment is waterfall. As the name suggests it flows downwardsthrough various phases in the software development cycle such asrequirements gathering, design, implementation, testing, integration andmaintenance. One of the significant feature of waterfall is that theinformation is gathered at the beginning and this will not changethroughout the entire development processes. This can create problemsespecially when stakeholders are not able to determine every requirementat the beginning and developers don’t have much understanding at thebeginning point about the system they are going to develop. Because ofthis, undefined problems, emerging and changing requirements posechallenges to waterfall methodology..

Bio: I have finished my Bachelors in Computing in India. Since my arrival to New Zealand I have finished my Post Graduate Diploma, Level 8 from Eastern Institute of Technology at Auckland. I have 3 years work experience in Helpdesk and IT support environment. I am also an Oracle Certified Professional and currently studying for CCNA, MCSA and ITIL certifications. Have worked as IT Sales Representative (Tele-Calling) in one of the call centres at New Market, Auckland.

Abstract:This poster aims at assessing the perceptions of the students towards e-learning. The study is to be carried out because, with the increase in the use of technology, there are applications which enhance e-learning, therefore there is the necessity to ascertain the idea of the students towards e-learning. The study will be carried out at the Eastern Institute of Technology (EIT), New Zealand, using 15 Questions questionnaire with a target of 100 students across the three campuses. The proposed outcomes of the research indicate that majority of the students have a positive attitude towards e-learning and thus should be motivated. Likewise, there are challenges that impede the success of e-learning such as the attitude of the students.

Evaluating the Perception of Online Shopping Customers regarding Data Security in

New Zealand

Gustavo Valverde: Email: gustavo.vvalverde@gmail.com | Phone: 027 142 2051 | Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gustavo-valverde/

Bio:Gustavo Valverde is a software engineer with project management skills (PMP certified) who worked over 10 years developing loan and credit card systems.

Gustavo has worked with reputable banks, including the Itau bank where he worked for 7 years, and won awards such as top developers award and project of the year award. Itau bank is the biggest Brazilian bank, also present in U.S. and U.K. In addition, Gustavo worked as a project analyst and IT consultant.

Recently, Gustavo completed his postgraduate diploma in Information technology at EIT.

When not travelling, Gustavo enjoys going on hikes and working on some personal projects involving coding and electronics.

Abstract:This poster aims to describe and analyse the Eurofins case study, and also presents the project management methodologies Prince2 and Scrum. The case study comprises an IT project that was implemented by Eurofins in 2015. The project was managed using Prince2 project management methodology. Even though the project succeeds, this paper points out positive and negatives aspects of the project, and compares both methods, Prince2 and Scrum. Moreover, this study shows a comparison between documents utilised by the project management methods described here. In the documents comparison table, the difference between a traditional method and an Agile method is clear. Traditional methods have much more documentation than Agile methods. However, the number of documents can show 2 different aspects. The first point of view is that Scrum has a lack of documentation, which can cause issues regarding planning. On the other hand, Prince2 has a comprehensive documentation, which can cause a waste of time. As a recommendation, this paper points to a hybrid method as a solution for this case. A hybrid method can explore the best of both methodologies. However, to decide which method should be used, the type of project and team knowledge has to be considered. In conclusion, there is no best project management methodology in general, but there is the best project management methodology for each case.
