Cyber Security Body of Knowledge and Curricula Development

The cyber world is an ever-changing world and cyber security is most important and touches the lives of everyone on the cyber world including researchers, students, businesses, academia, and novice user. The chapter suggests a body of knowledge that incorporates the view of academia as well as practitioners. This research attempts to put basic step and a framework for cyber security body of knowledge and to allow practitioners and academicians to face the problem of lack of standardization. Furthermore, the chapter attempts to bridge the gap between the different audiences. The gap is so broad that the term of cyber security is not agreed upon even in spelling. The suggested body of knowledge may not be perfect, yet it is a step forward

Knowledge description model for bodies of knowledge in software engineering context

Bodies of Knowledge (BOK) contains the relevant knowledge for a discipline. BOK must embody the consensus reached by the community for which this BOK will be of application. This consensus is a prerequisite for the adoption of the BOK by the community. In this paper, we utilize a combinations of Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK), models representation, and design science methodology in order to describe the software engineering knowledge context (SEC). SWEBOK serves as backbone taxonomy, while models representation provides a context of representation. In the process of develop of this paper science design methodology was used to provide fundamental knowledge in software engineering (SE)

Evaluation of occupational and professional profiles in Ecuadorian context based on guide of Knowledge SWEBOK and ontological model

Bodies of Knowledge (BOK), contain the relevant knowledge for a discipline, and it is necessary for the development of the science, and application in the professional, and occupational profiles, and the possible incidence in the industry of Ecuador. In this paper, it is shown an evaluation of professional and occupational profiles based on standard Software Engineering Body of Knowledge SWEBOK 2004 (Spanish Version), and the development of ontological model, in order to obtain the necessary information to establish the relationship, and the criteria to evaluate the profiles based on the guide of knowledge

Curricular design based in bodies of knowledge: engineering education for the innovation and the industry

Bodies of Knowledge (BOK), contain the relevant knowledge for a disciplines as example Software Engineering (SE), System Information (SI), Information Technology (IT), Computer Science (CS), Medicine, Economics, and others areas of knowledge. BOK describes relevant knowledge for a discipline, and will need show the consensus in the Knowledge Areas (KA), and related disciplines. The development of this consensus is a prerequisite to the adoption of coherent skills development in the education context, and continuing professional programs both in public and private organizations. In this context a systematic mapping study (SMS), it was performed to evaluate quantity and types of primary studies in an area of interest. SMS will be used as the research method within this research. The research method proposed will allow to sort and classify the information referent to the topics of this research. This paper is an attempt to analyze existing proposals on BOK contents, structure, and make a proposal what the kind of contents it should have, and how it should be structured so that this consensus among all parties can be described and best achieved. In the same way the relevance, and useful of the BOK in the curricular design for the innovation, and the industry context is present

Open BOK on Software Engineering Educational Context: A Systematic Literature Review

In this review, a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) on Open Body of Knowledge (BOK) is presented. Moreover, the theoretical base to build a model for knowledge description was created, and it was found that there is a lack of guidelines to describe knowledge description because of the dramatically increasing number of requirements to produce an Open BOK, the difficulty of comparing related BOK contents, and the fact that reusing knowledge description is a very laborious task. In this sense, this review can be considered as a first step in building a model that can be used for describing knowledge description in Open BOK. Finally, in order to improve the educational context, a comparison among BOK, structure, and evolution is conducted.This work is supported partially by RTI2018-096846-B-C21 (MCIU/AEI/FEDER, UE) and ADIAN grant IT980-16 (BasqueGovernment)

Codifying knowledge about ethics into ICT professional Bodies of Knowledge (BoKs): an analysis of approaches.

Ethical concerns about the development and ubiquity of ICT (Information and communications technology) are rising as awareness of our increased dependency on ICT, combined with the potential lack of transparency of new technologies such as IoT and AI, unfold. One way of tackling this is to increase professionalism within ICT, and Bodies of Knowledge (BoKs) are an important part of this. BoKs represent the knowledge needed to function as a profession and are becoming increasingly essential to aid communication and encourage shared values and practices, particularly in emerging professional areas. They are valuable and influential in developing the scope and maturity of the ICT profession and, in turn, ICT development in society. Thus, identifying and understanding the codification of ethics in BoKs is important to maturing ICT professional practice in resolving ethical concerns. This paper 1) explores considerations and approaches to the incorporation of ethics within BoKs, and 2) carries out content analysis on how ethics are codified within the content structure of ICT BoKs. Findings reveal a range of different approaches, which suggests the value of categorising these approaches and developing guidance on a more consistent approach. We conclude by recommending future research for revealing and tackling both overt and implicit aspects to ethics within BoKs
