Ecosystem traps and where to find them

J. Bosch, H. Olsson. In: Journal of Software: Evolution and Process. 2018

Abstract: Today, companies operate in business ecosystems where they collaborate, compete, share, and learn from others with benefits such as to present more attractive offerings and sharing innovation costs. With ecosystems being the new way of operating, the ability to strategically reposition oneself to increase or shift power balance is becoming key for competitive advantage. However, companies run into...

Safety-Critical Systems and Agile Development: A Mapping Study

Rashidah Kasauli, E. Knauss, Benjamin Kanagwa, A. Nilsson, G. Çalıklı. In: 2018 44th Euromicro Conference on Software Engineering and Advanced Applications (SEAA). 2018

Abstract: In the last decades, agile methods had a huge impact on how software is developed. In many cases, this has led to significant benefits, such as quality and speed of software deliveries to customers. However, safety-critical systems have widely been dismissed from benefiting from agile methods. Products that include safety critical aspects are therefore faced with a situation in which the developme...

Visualizing Test Diversity to Support Test Optimisation

F. D. O. Neto, R. Feldt, Linda Erlenhov, J. B. S. Nunes. In: 2018 25th Asia-Pacific Software Engineering Conference (APSEC). 2018

Abstract: Diversity has been used as an effective criteria to optimise test suites for cost-effective testing. Particularly, diversity-based (alternatively referred to as similarity-based) techniques have the benefit of being generic and applicable across different Systems Under Test (SUT), and have been used to automatically select or prioritise large sets of test cases. However, there is a challenge in ho...

“Mirror, Mirror in the Net”: A Sentiment Analysis of the Trailing Spouses’ Online Blogs

A. Koveshnikov, Heidi Wechtler, Juho Lindman. In: Academy of Management Proceedings. 2018

Abstract: In this study, we aim at contributing to the literature on adjustment of trailing spouses to new cultural environments. We do so by using an innovative research design where we employ sentiment ana......

Dynamic Test Case Selection in Continuous Integration

Software traceability in the automotive domain: Challenges and solutions

Salome Maro, J. Steghöfer, M. Staron. In: J. Syst. Softw.. 2018

Abstract: Abstract In the automotive domain, the development of all safety-critical systems has to comply with safety standards such as ISO 26262. These standards require established traceability, the ability to relate artifacts created during development of a system, to ensure resulting systems are well-tested and therefore safe. This paper contrasts general traceability challenges and solutions with those...

Challenges in High Performance Big Data Frameworks

A. Papadopoulos, M. Maggio. In: 2018 International Conference on High Performance Computing & Simulation (HPCS). 2018

Abstract: Nowadays, we live in a society with billions of devices that are interconnected and interact together to improve the quality of our lives. The management and processing of information and knowledge have by now become our main resources, and the fundamental factors of economic and social development, and it is achieved through Big Data Frameworks (BDFs). The amount of such data is becoming larger e...

Self-driving Vehicles Will Revolutionize the Transportation System

From Modeling to Test Case Generation in the Industrial Embedded System Domain

Aliya Hussain, Saurabh Tiwari, Jagadish Suryadevara, Eduard Paul Enoiu. In: . 2018

Abstract: Model-based testing (MBT) is the process of generating test cases from specification models representing system requirements and the desired functionality. The generated test cases are then executed on the system under test in an attempt to obtain a pass or fail verdict. While different MBT techniques have been developed, only a few target the real-world industrial embedded system domain and show ...

Technical Interoperability for Machine Connectivity on the Shop Floor

Magnus Åkerman, J. Stahre, U. Engström, Ola Angelsmark, D. Mcgillivray et al. In: Technologies. 2018

Abstract: This paper presents a generic technical solution that can increase Industry 4.0 maturity by collecting data from sensors and control systems on the shop floor. Within the research project “5G-Enabled Manufacturing”, an LTE (Long-Term Evolution) network with 5G technologies was deployed on the shop floor to enable fast and scalable connectivity. This network was used to connect a grinding machine t...

Tool-Supported Safety-Relevant Component Reuse: From Specification to Argumentation

Evaluating Didactic Approaches used by Teaching Assistants for Software Analysis and Design using UML

Dave R. Stikkolorum, F. D. O. Neto, M. Chaudron. In: Proceedings of the 3rd European Conference of Software Engineering Education. 2018

Abstract: Teaching assistants (TAs) are employed for supporting various activities of a course, from assisting with course material, grading and, predominantly, bridging the interaction between teachers and students. This role is even more significant in large courses with dozens of students, particularly during lab sessions with practical assignments. Therefore, here we explore how does the role of the TA ...

An efficient placement of sinks and SDN controller nodes for optimizing the design cost of industrial IoT systems

H. Faragardi, M. Vahabi, H. Fotouhi, Thomas Nolte, T. Fahringer. In: Software: Practice and Experience. 2018

Abstract: Recently, a growing trend has emerged toward using Internet of Things (IoT) in the context of industrial systems, which is referred to as industrial IoT. To deal with the time‐critical requirements of industrial applications, it is necessary to consider reliability and timeliness during the design of an industrial IoT system. Through the separation of the control plane and the data plane, software...
