Speech features like tone and pitch plays a crucial role in performance enhancement of speech recognition engines. Punjabi language have tonal features of laryngeal phoneme h] /h/ . In this book s authors have tried to examine tonal aspect of a glottal sound word h] /h/. Though h] /h/ is been used in all positions of word i.e. in starting, mid and at the end but still it is tonal in a few of the cases. Words holding h] /h/ at different positions have been recorded by Punjabi speakers of all four major dialects (Majha, Malwa, Powadh and Doaba) and analyzed using speech analysis tools.

Agile methodology recognizes people as the main driving force which can lead to project success. Agile practices emphasize on tacit knowledge sharing and restrict use of explicit knowledge, but in distributed setting one cannot solely rely on tacit knowledge. Without explicit management of knowledge and documentation, what will happen when the employees who possess this core knowledge leave the organization? These two concerns, when combined, pose a serious problem as without using documentation and explicit knowledge organization will not be able to survive in distributed setting using agile practices. This book is a pivotal step in the field of Agile software development methodologies by exploring the issues related to the agile development from knowledge perspective. The KM Assessment tool developed in this book can be usedby the software engineering organizations in getting insights into the current state of knowledge management practices in software engineering organizations working with agile methodologies. The survey of the knowledge sharing in distributed environment can act as milestones for planning and implementation of the agile in distributed setting.

This concise book provides a survival toolkit for efficient, large-scale software development. Discussing a multi-contextual research framework that aims to harness human-related factors in order to improve flexibility, it includes a carefully selected blend of models, methods, practices, and case studies. To investigate mission-critical communication aspects in system engineering, it also examines diverse, i.e. cross-cultural and multinational, environments. This book helps students better organize their knowledge bases, and presents conceptual frameworks, handy practices and case-based examples of agile development in diverse environments. Together with the authors’ previous books, "Crisis Management for Software Development and Knowledge Transfer" (2016) and "Managing Software Crisis: A Smart Way to Enterprise Agility" (2018), it constitutes a comprehensive reference resource adds value to this book.

This book presents an emotion centered research framework titled "emoha" for design innovation. It defines emoha and underlines the importance of the developed framework in culturalization of technology and thereby design innovation. The book explains the detailed research on product styling which leads to the creation of "Emoha" and how to use it in product design.
