  • Awareness in software-intensive systems
    Vassev, Emil; Hinchey, Mike (IEEE Computer Society, 2012)
    Closely related to artificial Intelligence, awareness depends on the knowledge transferred to software-intensive systems so they can use it to exhibit intelligence.
  • Benefits and drawbacks of open source software: an exploratory study of secondary software firms
    Morgan, Lorraine; Finnegan, Patrick (Springer, 2007)
    Much of the assessment of OSS benefits and drawbacks has been based on anecdotal evidence appearing in practitioner publications, white papers, web articles etc. To a greater extent this research has tended to concentrate ...
  • Broadening the education of software engineers – some lessons and pointers.
    Griffin, Joe; Ryan, Kevin (IEEE Computer Society, 2010)
    Professional Issues in Software Engineering (PISE) has been taught as part of the computer systems undergraduate degree programme at the University of Limerick using a multiinstitutional collaborative pedagogy. PISE considers ...
  • Building the pyramid of awareness
    Vassev, Emil (Edinburgh Napier University School of Computing, 2012)
    Awareness for computerized systems is possible by chaining functions in a control loop that monitors sensors, recognizes objects, predicts problems and, ultimately, learns.
