Customers who purchase appliances or products that consume services extensively typically require simultaneous workflows. A customer can buy an air conditioner, washing machine, smart gadget, or home appliance online, but must call a separate service provider, make a phone call, or use a third-party platform to book an installation, repair, or maintenance. This break creates conflicts with clients, ambiguity among suppliers, reduced visibility among technicians and issues with after-sales responsibility. This paper presents BookPlace, a service-commerce-based multi-vendor platform that offers a single modular web-based platform for online product and professional service booking. It includes product catalogs, technician schedules, receivables, loyalty services, reviews, refunds, support credentials, vendor processes, human resource operations, and administrative analysis to enable customers, vendors, technicians, and administrators to run the entire service-commerce life cycle more efficiently, safely, and collaboratively. This platform has been built with Laravel 12, Vue 3, InertiaJS, Tailwind CSS, MySQL, Spatie permissions, Laravel Fortify, Stripe, PayPal and SSLCommerz. It takes advantage of a modular monolith design, in which large business areas are subdivided into feature-oriented modules that remain part of a single deployable application. This thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of M.Sc. in Computer Science, 2026. 2026-06-01T00:00:00Z https://ar.iub.edu.bd/handle/11348/1227 A software engineering framework for designing, governing, and deploying AI-driven, culturally adaptive systems: a mental health case study in Bangladesh Hossain, Toushif Mental health disorders represent a critical and growing public-health challenge in Bangladesh, yet access to affordable, culturally appropriate, and trust worthy psychological support remains severely limited. Empirical findings based on the DASS-21 instrument demonstrate significant levels of depression, anxiety, and stress among Bangladeshi populations, while existing services are constrained by shortages of professionals, linguistic barriers, stigma, and fragmented digital infrastructure. This thesis addresses this gap by proposing a bilingual, culturally adaptive, AI-assisted mental-health screening system designed specifically for low-resource environments. The research adopts a multidisciplinary software-engineering perspective, arguing that the success of AI in mental healthcare depends not only on model accuracy but also on governance, development process, architecture, quality assurance, and deployment economics. 2026-05-01T00:00:00Z https://ar.iub.edu.bd/handle/11348/1226 Supporting Hemodialysis Care coordination in Bangladesh: user-centered design of an information exchange platform Abeer, Ifti Azad Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is defined as a progressive condition where a gradual loss of kidney function over time is characterized by the requirement of kidney-preserving or replacement therapies in the advanced stages. Hemodialysis requires synchronized and coordinated care efforts over long periods of time among patients, caregivers, and doctors. This process is especially challenging in contexts like Bangladesh due to the resource constrained settings. High treatment costs, limited dialysis facilities, and communication gaps among stakeholders further complicate the care scenarios. Although existing research on digital health has deeply explored individual aspects of dialysis management and care activities such as self-monitoring and remote tracking, the complex triadic information exchange among patients, caregivers, and doctors considering the interactional scenario remains underexplored, especially in the context of the Global South. The research presented in this thesis was conducted as a three-phased user-centered design study. It involved 24 participants in total, including CKD patients, paid and un paid caregivers, and doctors. 2026-06-01T00:00:00Z https://ar.iub.edu.bd/handle/11348/1225 Design and validation of an integrated governance, quality maturity and architecture–economics framework for sustainable large-scale agile and ERP systems Masud, Sarker Mahatab Large-scale Agile and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems have become critical infrastructure for modern organizations, yet their sustainability remains threatened by fragmented governance, weak quality maturity practices, and the absence of economic visibility in architectural decision-making. Empirical evidence shows that traditional Waterfall approaches impose excessive rigidity, while pure Agile methods lack accountability and control over compliance, leading to coordination failures, stakeholder misalignment, and high implementation risk in distributed and multi-module environments. Simultaneously, software architecture decisions significantly influence long-term cost, scalability, and organizational performance, but these effects are rarely evaluated using measurable financial indicators such as ROI and Total Cost of Ownership. Distributed Agile teams further suffer from inconsistent documentation, weak traceability, and governance gaps that reduce transparency and delivery efficiency. This thesis addresses these challenges by proposing an integrated framework that unifies Governance, Quality Maturity, and Architecture–Economics perspectives into a sustainable software engineering strategy for large-scale Agile and ERP ecosystems. The research adopts a multidisciplinary systems-engineering approach, arguing that long-term project success depends not solely on development methodology or architecture alone but on the coordinated interaction of governance mechanisms, process maturity, and economically aligned technical decisions 2026-05-01T00:00:00Z
