Research trends in multimodal learning analytics: A systematic mapping study

Hamza Ouhaichi, Daniel Spikol, Bahtijar Vogel. In: Comput. Educ. Artif. Intell.. 2023

Abstract: Understanding and improving education are critical goals of learning analytics. However, learning is not always mediated or aided by a digital system that can capture digital traces. Learning in such environments can be studied by recording, processing, and analyzing different signals, including video and audio, so that traces of actors ’ actions and interactions are captured. Multimodal Learning ...

Access Control Enforcement Architectures for Dynamic Manufacturing Systems

B. Leander, Aida Čaušević, Tomas Lindström, Hans A. Hansson. In: 2023 IEEE 20th International Conference on Software Architecture (ICSA). 2023

Abstract: Industrial control systems are undergoing a trans-formation driven by business requirements as well as technical advances, aiming towards increased connectivity, flexibility and high level of modularity, that implies a need to revise existing cybersecurity measures. Access control, being one of the major security mechanisms in any system, is largely affected by these advances.In this article we in...

Investigating Software Testing and Maintenance of Open-Source Distributed Ledger

Petya Hristova Cvitic, Felix Dobslaw, F. G. O. Neto. In: 2023 IEEE International Conference on Software Analysis, Evolution and Reengineering (SANER). 2023

Abstract: A distributed ledger is the backbone of all blockchain solutions. It provides a shared database spreading across a network of nodes. The number of DL solutions and their implementations has grown in recent years. Besides the architectural and performance promises of thesesolutions, organizations seekingto implement DL also need to consider the overall quality of the software available and its ecos...

Requirements Engineering for Automotive Perception Systems: an Interview Study

K. Habibullah, H. Heyn, Gregory Gay, J. Horkoff, E. Knauss et al. In: ArXiv. 2023

Abstract: Background: Driving automation systems (DAS), including autonomous driving and advanced driver assistance, are an important safety-critical domain. DAS often incorporate perceptions systems that use machine learning (ML) to analyze the vehicle environment. Aims: We explore new or differing requirements engineering (RE) topics and challenges that practitioners experience in this domain. Method: We ...

Open curriculum for teaching digital accessibility

Greg Gay. In: . 2023

Abstract: In Ontario, Canada, universities are obligated under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) to ensure that people with disabilities do not face barriers to education, and they are free from barriers in society more broadly. Those who produce online curriculum for postsecondary education in the province need at least a basic understanding of digital accessibility, and for some...

Roundtrip, free-floating and peer-to-peer carsharing: A Bayesian behavioral analysis

An investigation of challenges encountered when specifying training data and runtime monitors for safety critical ML applications

H. Heyn, E. Knauss, Iswarya Malleswaran, Shruthi Dinakaran. In: ArXiv. 2023

Abstract: Context and motivation: The development and operation of critical software that contains machine learning (ML) models requires diligence and established processes. Especially the training data used during the development of ML models have major influences on the later behaviour of the system. Runtime monitors are used to provide guarantees for that behaviour. Question / problem: We see major uncer...

Changing the world one engineer at a time – unmaking the traditional engineering education when introducing sustainability subjects

Maria Eidenskog, O. Leifler, J. Sefyrin, Ericka Johnson, Mikael Asplund. In: International Journal of Sustainability in Higher Education. 2023

Abstract: Purpose The information technology (IT) sector has been seen as central to society's transformation to a more just and sustainable society, which underlines teachers’ responsibility to foster engineers who can contribute specifically to such ends. This study aims to report an effort to significantly update an existing engineering programme in IT with this ambition and to analyse the effects and c...

Non-functional requirements for machine learning: understanding current use and challenges among practitioners

K. Habibullah, Gregory Gay, J. Horkoff. In: Requirements Engineering. 2023

Abstract: Systems that rely on Machine Learning (ML systems) have differing demands on quality—known as non-functional requirements (NFRs)—from traditional systems. NFRs for ML systems may differ in their definition, measurement, scope, and comparative importance. Despite the importance of NFRs in ensuring the quality ML systems, our understanding of all of these aspects is lacking compared to our understan...

Higher-order transformations for the generation of synchronization infrastructures in blended modeling

Malvina Latifaj, Federico Ciccozzi, Mattias Mohlin. In: . 2023

Abstract: Introduction Blended modeling aims at boosting the development of complex multi-domain systems by enabling seamless multi-notation modeling. The synchronization mechanisms between notations are embodied in model transformations. Manually defining model transformations requires specific knowledge of transformation languages, and it is a time-consuming and error-prone task. Moreover, whenever any of...

Test environments for large‐scale software systems—An industrial study of intrinsic and extrinsic success factors

Torvald Mårtensson, Göran Ancher, Daniel Ståhl. In: Software Testing. 2023

Abstract: The characteristics of the test environment are of vital importance to its ability to support the organizations testing objectives. This paper seeks to address the need for a structured and reliable approach, which can be used by companies and other organizations to optimize their test environments in each individual case. The reported study included a series of interviews with 30 individuals, a s...
