A Task Modelling Formalism for Industrial Mobile Robot Applications

A. Lager, A. Papadopoulos, G. Spampinato, T. Nolte. In: 2021 20th International Conference on Advanced Robotics (ICAR). 2021

Abstract: Industrial mobile robots are increasingly introduced in factories and warehouses. These environments are becoming more dynamic with human co-workers and other uncertainties that may interfere with the robot's actions. To uphold efficient operation, the robots should be able to autonomously plan and replan the order of their tasks. On the other hand, the robot's actions should be predictable in an ...

pmcEDF: An Energy Efficient Procrastination Scheduler for Multi-core Mixed Criticality Systems

L. Colaco, Amol Pai, B. Raveendran, S. Punnekkat. In: 2021 IEEE 23rd Int Conf on High Performance Computing & Communications; 7th Int Conf on Data Science & Systems; 19th Int Conf on Smart City; 7th Int Conf on Dependability in Sensor, Cloud & Big Data Systems & Application (HPCC/DSS/SmartCity/DependSys). 2021

Abstract: The ever increasing computational demands with size, weight, energy, power and time guidelines necessitates innovative energy efficient techniques in multi-core mixed criticality applications. Energy efficient design considerations include energy optimization techniques such as dynamic-voltage-and-frequency-scaling (DVFS) and dynamic-power-management (DPM). DPM techniques of procrastination and po...

Understanding Metrics Team-Stakeholder Communication in Agile Metrics Service Delivery

N. B. Lindström, Dina Koutsikouri, M. Staron, Wilhelm Meding, Ola Söder. In: 2021 28th Asia-Pacific Software Engineering Conference (APSEC). 2021

Abstract: In this paper, we explore challenges in communication between metrics teams and stakeholders in metrics service delivery. Drawing on interviews and interactive workshops with team members and stakeholders at two different Swedish agile software development organizations, we identify interrelated challenges such as aligning expectations, prioritizing demands, providing regular feedback, and maintai...

Towards Continuous Data Collection from In-service Products: Exploring the Relation Between Data Dimensions and Collection Challenges

Anas Dakkak, Hongyi Zhang, D. I. Mattos, Jan Bosch, H. Olsson. In: 2021 28th Asia-Pacific Software Engineering Conference (APSEC). 2021

Abstract: Data collected from in-service products play an important role in enabling software-intensive embedded systems suppliers to embrace data-driven practices. Data can be used in many different ways such as to continuously learn and improve the product, enhance post-deployment services, reduce operational cost or create a better user experience. While there is no shortage of possible use cases leverag...

A Multi-factor Approach for Flaky Test Detection and Automated Root Cause Analysis

Azeem Ahmad, F. D. O. Neto, Zhixian Shi, K. Sandahl, O. Leifler. In: 2021 28th Asia-Pacific Software Engineering Conference (APSEC). 2021

Abstract: Developers often spend time to determine whether test case failures are real failures or flaky. The flaky tests, also known as non-deterministic tests, switch their outcomes without any modification in the codebase, hence reducing the confidence of developers during maintenance as well as in the quality of a product. Re-running test cases to reveal flakiness is resource-consuming, unreliable and d...

STRETCH: Virtual Shared-Nothing Parallelism for Scalable and Elastic Stream Processing

Vincenzo Gulisano, Hannaneh Najdataei, Y. Nikolakopoulos, A. Papadopoulos, M. Papatriantafilou et al. In: IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems. 2021

Abstract: Stream processing applications extract value from raw data through Directed Acyclic Graphs of data analysis tasks. Shared-nothing (SN) parallelism is the de-facto standard to scale stream processing applications. Given an application, SN parallelism instantiates several copies of each analysis task, making each instance responsible for a dedicated portion of the overall analysis, and relies on ded...

Towards Qualitative and Quantitative Dependability Analyses for AR-Equipped Socio-Technical Systems

Soheila Sheikh Bahaei, B. Gallina. In: 2021 5th International Conference on System Reliability and Safety (ICSRS). 2021

Abstract: Augmented Reality technologies are becoming essential components in various socio-technical systems. New kinds of risks, however, may emerge if the concertation between AR, other technical components and socio-components is not properly designed. To do that, it is necessary to extend techniques for risk assessment to capture such new risks. This may require the extension of modelling languages and...

Fattening of Lambs with Mixed Feeds of Different Protein Feeds

Practices and Infrastructures for ML Systems – An Interview Study

Dennis Muiruri, Lucy Ellen Lwakatare, Jukka K. Nurminen, T. Mikkonen. 2021

Abstract: The best practices and infrastructures for developing and maintaining machine learning (ML) enabled software systems are often reported by large and experienced data-driven organizations. However, little is known about the state of practice across other organizations. Using interviews, we investigated practices and tool-chains for ML-enabled systems from 16 organizations in various domains. ...

Toward Sustainable Serverless Computing

Panos Patros, Josef Spillner, A. Papadopoulos, B. Varghese, O. Rana et al. In: IEEE Internet Computing. 2021

Abstract: Although serverless computing generally involves executing short-lived “functions,” the increasing migration to this computing paradigm requires careful consideration of energy and power requirements. serverless computing is also viewed as an economically-driven computational approach, often influenced by the cost of computation, as users are charged for per-subsecond use of computational resource...

Biochemical and technological evaluation of peppers (Capsicum annuum L.) for functional food products

A. Medelyaeva, A. Bukharov, Y. Trunov, E. Lisova. In: IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science. 2021

Abstract: Pepper is one of the main nightshade vegetables in open and protected ground. There are a large number of varieties and hybrids that differ in agrotechnological characteristics and biochemical composition of fruits (content of dry substances, sugars, vitamins and other biologically active substances). However, not all varieties are suitable for being processed into functional food products. The ar...
