Extending SafeConcert for Modelling Augmented Reality-equipped Socio-technical Systems*

Soheila Sheikh Bahaei, B. Gallina. In: 2019 4th International Conference on System Reliability and Safety (ICSRS). 2019

Abstract: With the emergence of new technologies such as augmented reality in socio-technical systems, traditional risk assessment methods may fail to have a comprehensive system modelling, because these technologies extend human's capabilities, which might introduce new types of human failures caused by failing these extended capabilities and new types of faults leading to human failures. Current state-of-...

Effect of Augmented Reality on Faults Leading to Human Failures in Socio-technical Systems*

Soheila Sheikh Bahaei, B. Gallina, K. Laumann, Martin Rasmussen Skogstad. In: 2019 4th International Conference on System Reliability and Safety (ICSRS). 2019

Abstract: With the ultimate purpose of assessing risk within augmented reality-equipped socio-technical systems, in our previous work, we systematically organized and extended state-of-the-art taxonomies of human failures to include the failures related to the extended capabilities enabled by AR technologies. The result of our organization and extension was presented in form of a feature diagram. Current st...

System of Systems Hazard Analysis Using HAZOP and FTA for Advanced Quarry Production

Faiz ul Muram, M. Javed, S. Punnekkat. In: 2019 4th International Conference on System Reliability and Safety (ICSRS). 2019

Abstract: The advanced production systems are composed of separate and distinct systems that operate in both isolation and conjunction, and therefore forms the System-of-Systems (SoS). However, a lot of production systems are classified as safety-critical, for example, due to the interactions between machines and involved materials. From the safety perspective, besides the behaviour of an individual system ...

A State-based Extension to STPA for Safety-Critical System-of-Systems

Stephan Baumgart, Joakim Fröberg, S. Punnekkat. In: 2019 4th International Conference on System Reliability and Safety (ICSRS). 2019

Abstract: Automation of earth moving machinery enables improving existing production workflows in various applications like surface mines, material handling operations or material transporting. Such connected and collaborating autonomous machines can be seen as a system-of-systems. It is not yet clear how to consider safety during the development of such system-of-systems (SoS). One potentially useful appro...

Simsax: A measure of project similarity based on symbolic approximation method and software defect inflow

Mirosław Ochodek, M. Staron, Wilhelm Meding. In: . 2019

Abstract: Abstract Background Profiling software development projects, in order to compare them, find similar sub-projects or sets of activities, helps to monitor changes in software processes. Since we lack objective measures for profiling or hashing, researchers often fall back on manual assessments. Objective The goal of our study is to define an objective and intuitive measure of similarity between soft...

TAMER: Task Allocation in Multi-robot Systems Through an Entity-Relationship Model

REVaMP2 Project: Towards Round-Trip Engineering of Software Product Lines - Approach, Intermediate Results and Challenges

Andrey Sadovykh, T. Ziadi, A. Bagnato, T. Berger, J. Steghöfer et al. In: . 2019

Engineering for a Science-Centric Experimentation Platform

N. Diamantopoulos, Jeffrey Wong, D. I. Mattos, I. Gerostathopoulos, Matthew Wardrop et al. In: 2020 IEEE/ACM 42nd International Conference on Software Engineering: Software Engineering in Practice (ICSE-SEIP). 2019

Abstract: Netflix is an internet entertainment service that routinely employs experimentation to guide strategy around product innovations. As Netflix grew, it had the opportunity to explore increasingly specialized improvements to its service, which generated demand for deeper analyses supported by richer metrics and powered by more diverse statistical methodologies. To facilitate this, and more fully harn...

Software developer productivity loss due to technical debt - A replication and extension study examining developers' development work

Terese Besker, A. Martini, J. Bosch. In: J. Syst. Softw.. 2019

Abstract: Software companies need to deliver customer value continuously, both from a short- and long-term perspective. However, software development can be impeded by technical debt (TD). Although significant theoretical work has been undertaken to describe the negative effects of TD, little empirical evidence exists on how much wasted time and additional activities TD causes. The study aims to explore the...

Concurrency Defect Localization in Embedded Systems using Static Code Analysis: An Evaluation

Bjarne Johansson, A. Papadopoulos, T. Nolte. In: 2019 IEEE International Symposium on Software Reliability Engineering Workshops (ISSREW). 2019

Abstract: Defects with low manifestation probability, such as concurrency defects, are difficult to find during testing. When such a defect manifests into an error, the low likelihood can make it time-consuming to reproduce the error and find the root cause. Static Code Analysis (SCA) tools have been used in the industry for decades, mostly for compliance checking towards guidelines such as MISRA. Today, th...

DART: Dynamic Bandwidth Distribution Framework for Virtualized Software Defined Networks

Václav Struhár, M. Ashjaei, M. Behnam, Silviu S. Craciunas, A. Papadopoulos. In: IECON 2019 - 45th Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society. 2019

Abstract: In this paper we address a network architecture that uses a combination of network virtualization and software defined networking in order to reduce complexity of network management and at the same time support high quality of service. Within this network architecture, we propose a framework to be able to dynamically distribute the network bandwidth to various services such that the network resour...

DevOps in practice: A multiple case study of five companies

Lucy Ellen Lwakatare, Terhi Kilamo, Teemu Karvonen, Tanja Sauvola, Ville Heikkilä et al. In: Inf. Softw. Technol.. 2019

Abstract: Abstract Context: DevOps is considered important in the ability to frequently and reliably update a system in operational state. DevOps presumes cross-functional collaboration and automation between software development and operations. DevOps adoption and implementation in companies is non-trivial due to required changes in technical, organisational and cultural aspects. Objectives: This explorato...

Artificial Intelligence for Decision-Makers

Viktor Elliot, M. Paananen, M. Staron. In: Journal of Emerging Technologies in Accounting. 2019

Abstract: We propose an exercise with the purpose of providing a basic understanding of key concepts within AI and extending the understanding of AI beyond mathematics. The exercise allows participants to carry out analysis based on accounting data using visualization tools as well as to develop their own machine learning algorithms that can mimic their decisions. Finally, we also problematize the use of ...
