  • Agile practices reduce distance in global software development
    Holmstrom Olsson, Helena; Fitzgerald, Brian; Agerfalk, Par J.; Ó Conchúir, Eoin (Taylor & Francis, 2006)
    This article explores how agile practices can reduce three kinds of “distance” — temporal, geographical,and sociocultural — in global software development (GSD). On the basis of two indepth case studies, specific Scrum and ...
  • Aligning software configuration with business and IT context
    Dalpiaz, Fabiano; Ali, Raian; Giorgini, Paolo (2012)
    An important activity to maximize Business/IT alignment is selecting a software con guration that ts a given context. Feature models represent the space of software con gurations in terms of distin- guished characteristics ...
  • Analysing monitoring and switching problems for adaptive systems
    Salifu, Mohammed; Yu, Yijun; Bandara, Arosha K.; Nuseibeh, Bashar (Elsevier, 2012)
    In the field of pervasive and ubiquitous computing, context-aware adaptive systems need to monitor changes in their environment in order to detect violations of requirements and switch their behaviour in order to continue ...
  • Applying social network analysis to discover service innovation within agile service networks
    Carroll, Noel; Whelan, Eoin; Richardson, Ita (Robert Chi, 2010)
    The literature indicates that there is urgent need to address the significant gap in our ability to value the contributory interaction of service networks in organisational performance. This paper is primarily concerned ...
  • Applying social network analysis to monitor web-enabled business processes
    Carroll, Noel; Richardson, Ita; Whelan, Eoin (2010)
    The unprecedented growth in service-based business processes over a short period of time has underscored the need for understanding the mechanisms and theorising the business models and business process management adopted ...
  • Biochar from biomass and waste
    Kwapinski, Witold; Byrne, Corinna M.P.; Kryachko, Ekaterina; Wolfram, Przemyslaw; Adley, Catherine C; Leahy, J.J.; Novotny, Etelvino H.; Hayes, Michael H. (Springer Netherlands, 2010)
    There is an increasing realisation that biomass and organic wastes are valuable feedstocks for second generation biorefining processes that give rise to platform chemicals to substitute for dwindling petrochemical resources, ...
  • Caprice: a tool for engineering adaptive privacy
    Omoronyia, Inah; Pasquale, Liliana; Salehie, Mazeiar; Cavallaro, Luca; Doherty, Gavin; Nuseibeh, Bashar (Association for Computing Machinery, 2012)
    In a dynamic environment where context changes frequently, users’ privacy requirements can also change. To satisfy such changing requirements, there is a need for continuous analysis to discover new threats and possible ...
  • Characterizing architecturally significant requirements
    Chen, Lianping; Babar, Muhmmad Ali; Nuseibeh, Bashar (IEEE Computer Society, 2013)
    At the heart of any engineering discipline is the interplay between problem and solution development. In software engineering, the effectiveness of a software solution is determined with respect to a problem, yet the nature ...
  • A CMMI based configuration management framework to manage the quality of service based applications
    Hashmi, Sajid Ibrahim; Lane, Stephen; Karastoyanova, Dimka; Richardson, Ita (2010)
    Service Based Applications (SBAs) have highlighted new challenges related to Configuration Management (CM). This is an important process for the assurance of end to end quality in software systems. As far as the quality ...
  • Designing and delivering public services on the cloud
    Taher, Yehia; Haque, Rafiqul; Nquyen, Dinh Khou; Van den Heuvel, Willem-Jan (2011)
    Cost and complexity are currently the most substantial obstacles for designing and delivering services in the public sector. The traditional in-house development and maintenance landscape of public services require experts ...
  • The discovery of agile service networks through the use of social network analysis
    Carroll, Noel; Whelan, Eoin; Richardson, Ita (IEEE Computer Society, 2010)
    There is a need to address the significant gap in our ability to measure and monitor the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) across service networks. The unprecedented growth in service-based business processes over a short ...
  • Effect of prior deformation on creep behaviour of AISI 316H austenitic stainless steels
    Nezhad, Hamed Yazdani (University of Limerick, 2012)
    Analytical, numerical and experimental investigations on the influence of prior deformation on creep relaxation and creep crack growth behaviour of cracked austenitic steel specimens have been carried out in this work. The ...
  • Efficient reasoning with ambient trees for space exploration
    Vassev, Emil; Hinchey, Mike (Springer, 2012)
    Modern reasoning is based on inference techniques such as induction, deduction, abduction, subsumption, classification and recognition. These inference techniques are very inefficient when applied to large amounts of ...
  • Efficient space exploration through laziness
    Vassev, Emil; Hinchey, Mike (Springer, 2012)
    Autonomous behavior and onboard decision making is the backbone of robotic space exploration. The enormous distance and communication latency make such missions hardly controllable from Earth and external decision making ...
  • Evasion-resistant malware signature based on profiling kernel data structure objects
    Shosha, Ahmed F; Chen-Ching, Liu; Gladyshev, Pavel; Matten, Marcus (IEEE Computer Society, 2012)
    Malware authors attempt in an endless effort to find new methods to evade the malware detection engines. A popular method is the use of obfuscation technologies that change the syntax of malicious code while preserving the ...
  • A framework for customizing public services
    Haque, Rafiqul; Richardson, Ita; Whelan, Eoin; Taher, Yehia; Van den Heuvel, Willem-Jan; Tawbi, Samar (International Journal of Information Studies, 2011)
    Processes are the main constituents of public services and as such demand correct and complete execution. Increasingly however, governments feel the pressuring need to deliver public services more quickly and personalized ...
  • From peer production to productization:a study of socially enabled business exchanges in open source service networks
    Feller, Joseph; Finnegan, Patrick; Fitzgerald, Brian; Hayes, Jeremy (INFORMS, 2008)
    Peer production phenomena such as open source software (OSS) have been posited as a viable alternative to traditional production models. However, community-based development often falls short of creating software “products” ...
  • Inferring the data access from the clients of generic APIs
    Song, Hui; Huang, Gang; Xiong, Yingfei; sun, Yanchun (IEEE Computer Society, 2012)
    Many programs access external data sources through generic APIs. The class hierarchy of such a generic API does not reflect the schema of any particular data source, and thus it is hard to clarify what data an API client ...
  • Knowledge representation for cognitive robotic systems
    Vassev, Emil; Hinchey, Mike (IEEE Computer Society, 2012)
    Cognitive robotics are autonomous systems capable of artificial reasoning. Such systems can be achieved with a logical approach, but still AI struggles to connect the abstract logic with real-world meanings. Knowledge ...
  • Knowledge representation for self-adaptive behavior
    Vassev, Emil; Hinchey, Mike; Gaudin, Benoit (Association for Computing Machinery, 2012)
    An autonomic system is considered to be a self-adaptive system that changes its behavior in response to stimuli from its execution and operational environment. Such behavior is considered autonomic and self-adaptive and ...
