Lightweight Formal Method for Robust Routing in Track-based Traffic Control Systems

Maryam Bagheri, Edward A. Lee, Eunsuk Kang, M. Sirjani, Ehsan et al. In: 2020 18th ACM-IEEE International Conference on Formal Methods and Models for System Design (MEMOCODE). 2020

Abstract: In this paper, we propose a robust solution for the path planning and scheduling of the moving objects in a Track-based Traffic Control System (TTCS). The moving objects in a TTCS pass over pre-specified sub-tracks. Each sub-track accommodates at most one moving object in-transit. Due to the uncertainties in the context of a TTCS, we assign an arrival time window to each moving object for each sub...

AI Deployment Architecture: Multi-Case Study for Key Factor Identification

Meenu Mary John, H. Olsson, J. Bosch. In: 2020 27th Asia-Pacific Software Engineering Conference (APSEC). 2020

Abstract: Machine learning and deep learning techniques are becoming increasingly popular and critical for companies as part of their systems. However, although the development and prototyping of ML/DL systems are common across companies, the transition from prototype to production-quality deployment models are challenging. One of the key challenges is how to determine the selection of an optimal architectu...

DESIGN On-line survey in endocrine centres t...

Federated Learning Systems: Architecture Alternatives

Hongyi Zhang, J. Bosch, H. Olsson. In: 2020 27th Asia-Pacific Software Engineering Conference (APSEC). 2020

Abstract: Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) have increasingly gained attention in research and industry. Federated Learning, as an approach to distributed learning, shows its potential with the increasing number of devices on the edge and the development of computing power. However, most of the current Federated Learning systems apply a single-server centralized architecture, which may ...

Towards Automated Detection of Data Pipeline Faults

A. Munappy, J. Bosch, H. Olsson, Tian J. Wang. In: 2020 27th Asia-Pacific Software Engineering Conference (APSEC). 2020

Abstract: Data pipelines play an important role throughout the data management process. It automates the steps ranging from data generation to data reception thereby reducing the human intervention. A failure or fault in a single step of a data pipeline has cascading effects that might result in hours of manual intervention and clean-up. Data pipeline failure due to faults at different stages of data pipeli...

Dynamic Reconfiguration of Safety-Critical Production Systems

Faiz ul Muram, M. Javed, H. Hansson, S. Punnekkat. In: 2020 IEEE 25th Pacific Rim International Symposium on Dependable Computing (PRDC). 2020

Abstract: The current trends of digitalization and Industry 4.0 are bringing ample opportunities for manufacturing industry to fine tune their products and processes at will, to meet changing market needs within short notice. However, the characteristics of advanced production systems, such as dynamic interactions between machines and reconfigurations, if not carefully orchestrated, could potentially lead t...

Mining Customer Satisfaction on B2B Online Platforms using Service Quality and Web Usage Metrics

Iris Figalist, Marco Dieffenbacher, Isabella Eigner, J. Bosch, H. Olsson et al. In: 2020 27th Asia-Pacific Software Engineering Conference (APSEC). 2020

Abstract: In order to distinguish themselves from their competitors, software service providers constantly try to assess and improve customer satisfaction. However, measuring customer satisfaction in a continuous way is often time and cost intensive, or requires effort on the customer side. Especially in B2B contexts, a continuous assessment of customer satisfaction is difficult to achieve due to potential ...

Process Debt: a First Exploration

A. Martini, Terese Besker, J. Bosch. In: 2020 27th Asia-Pacific Software Engineering Conference (APSEC). 2020

Abstract: Process Debt, like Technical Debt, can be the source of short-term benefits but often is harmful in the long term for a software organization. Nonetheless, information about Process Debt is scarce in current literature. We conducted an exploratory study of Process Debt in four international organizations by interviewing 16 practitioners. The findings show that Process Debt can be a harmful phenome...

HPM-Frame: A Decision Framework for Executing Software on Heterogeneous Platforms

H. Andrade, Ola Benderius, C. Berger, I. Crnkovic, J. Bosch. In: ArXiv. 2020

Abstract: Heterogeneous computing is one of the most important computational solutions to meet rapidly increasing demands on system performance. It typically allows the main flow of applications to be executed on a CPU while the most computationally intensive tasks are assigned to one or more accelerators, such as GPUs and FPGAs. The refactoring of systems for execution on such platforms is highly desired b...

Principles for Re-architecting Software for Heterogeneous Platforms

H. Andrade, C. Berger, I. Crnkovic, J. Bosch. In: 2020 27th Asia-Pacific Software Engineering Conference (APSEC). 2020

Abstract: The demands on software continues to increase through the constant addition of functionalities and high expectations from users. In particular, performance has been the focus in many projects with the goal of fulfilling complex and hard requirements across a variety of domains. One way to achieve satisfactory levels of performance is through heterogeneous computing, i.e., systems that contain more...

What are IoT systems for real? An experts' survey on software engineering aspects

G. Reggio, Maurizio Leotta, M. Cerioli, Romina Spalazzese, Fahed Alkhabbas. In: Internet Things. 2020

Abstract: Abstract Internet of Things (IoT) systems are becoming ubiquitous, and their spread has had a significant impact on all aspects of society. Software is a key aspect of IoT systems, from firmware to cloud infrastructures. For this reason, Software Engineering (SE) is crucial to design, develop, deploy, and maintain high-quality IoT systems. Despite the high relevance of these systems, by analysing ...
