From low-level programming to full-fledged industrial model-based development: the story of the Rubus Component Model

Alessio Bucaioni, Federico Ciccozzi, A. D. Salle, Mikael Sjödin. In: Software and Systems Modeling. 2023

Abstract: Developing distributed real-time systems is a complex task that has historically entailed specialized handcraft. In this paper, we propose a retrospective on the (r)evolutionary changes that led to the transition from low-level programming to industrial full-fledged model-based development embodied by the Rubus Component Model and its tool-ecosystem. We focus on the needs, challenges, and solution...

Sustainability in Computing Education: A Systematic Literature Review

Anicia Peters, Rafael Capilla, Vlad C. Coroamă, Rogardt Heldal, P. Lago et al. In: ACM Transactions on Computing Education. 2023

Abstract: Research shows that the global society as organized today, with our current technological and economic system, is impossible to sustain. We are living in an era in which human activities in highly industrialized countries are responsible for overshooting several planetary boundaries, with poorer communities contributing the least to the problems but being impacted the most. At the same time, techn...

Identifying and managing data quality requirements: a design science study in the field of automated driving

S. K. Pradhan, Hans-Martin Heyn, E. Knauss. In: Software Quality Journal. 2023

Abstract: Good data quality is crucial for any data-driven system’s effective and safe operation. For critical safety systems, the significance of data quality is even higher since incorrect or low-quality data may cause fatal faults. However, there are challenges in identifying and managing data quality. In particular, there is no accepted process to define and continuously test data quality concerning wha...

Plant Density Differentially Influences Seed Weight in Different Portions of the Raceme of Castor

W. Mai, Xiangrong Xue, Ahmad Azeem. In: Polish Journal of Environmental Studies. 2023

Abstract: Castor ( Ricinus communis L.) is an oilseed crop, that is cultivated in arid and semi-arid region. Seed yield per plant of castor significantly effective by different environmental factors, but planting density also influence on seed yield. A field experiments were conducted in 2016 and 2017 to investigate the effects of in-row plant spacing (30, 40, 50 and 60 cm) on seed yield and weight in diffe...

VEDLIoT: Next generation accelerated AIoT systems and applications

Kevin Mika, R. Griessl, N. Kucza, F. Porrmann, M. Kaiser et al. In: Proceedings of the 20th ACM International Conference on Computing Frontiers. 2023

Abstract: The VEDLIoT project aims to develop energy-efficient Deep Learning methodologies for distributed Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) applications. During our project, we propose a holistic approach that focuses on optimizing algorithms while addressing safety and security challenges inherent to AIoT systems. The foundation of this approach lies in a modular and scalable cognitive IoT hardware...

TD Pulse: Assessing the Systematic Management of Technical Debt

A. Martini, Terese Besker, T. Posch, J. Bosch. In: IEEE Software. 2023

Abstract: Technical debt (TD) requires the management of several technical and nontechnical aspects. Based on 10 years of research and practice, we have created an effective approach, TD Pulse, to assess TD management in large software companies and find critical improvement areas....

Abstract: This edition of the “Practitioner’s Digest” features recent papers on artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), along with papers on tech debt, energy consumption, and collaboration between industry and academia....

Evaluating the Trade-offs of Text-based Diversity in Test Prioritisation

Ranim Khojah, Chi Hong Chao, F. D. O. Neto. In: 2023 IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automation of Software Test (AST). 2023

Abstract: Diversity-based techniques (DBT) have been cost-effective by prioritizing the most dissimilar test cases to detect faults at earlier stages of test execution. Diversity is measured on test specifications to convey how different test cases are from one another. However, there is little research on the trade-off of diversity measures based on different types of text-based specification (lexicographi...

Continuous-Emission Markov Models for Real-Time Applications: Bounding Deadline Miss Probabilities

A. Friebe, Filip Marković, A. Papadopoulos, T. Nolte. In: 2023 IEEE 29th Real-Time and Embedded Technology and Applications Symposium (RTAS). 2023

Abstract: Probabilistic approaches have gained attention over the past decade, providing a modeling framework that enables less pessimistic analysis of real-time systems. Among the different proposed approaches, Markov chains have been shown effective for analyzing real-time systems, particularly in estimating the pending workload distribution and deadline miss probability. However, the state-of-the-art mai...

Scheduling Firm Real-time Applications on the Edge with Single-bit Execution Time Prediction

S. Salman, Van-Lan Dao, A. Papadopoulos, S. Mubeen, T. Nolte. In: 2023 IEEE 26th International Symposium on Real-Time Distributed Computing (ISORC). 2023

Abstract: The edge computing paradigm brings the capabilities of the cloud such as on-demand resource availability to the edge for applications with low-latency and real-time requirements. While cloud-native load balancing and scheduling algorithms strive to improve performance metrics like mean response times, real-time systems, that govern physical systems, must satisfy deadline requirements. This paper e...
