Uncertainty entangled; modelling safety assurance cases for autonomous systems

Mjeda, Anila; Botterweck, Goetz (2020)

When designing and analysing autonomous systems and their environment it is necessary to consider uncertainty and multiple potential states (of the system and its environment). In this position paper, we explore the ...
Uncovering the periphery: a qualitative survey of episodic volunteering in free/libre and open source software communities

Barcomb, Ann Susan; Kaufmann, Andreas; Riehle, Dirk; Stol, Klaas-Jan; Fitzgerald, Brian (IEEE Computer Society, 2018)

Free/Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS) communities are composed, in part, of volunteers, many of whom contribute infrequently. However, these infrequent volunteers contribute to the sustainability of FLOSS projects, ...
Uncovering the reality within virtual software team

Casey, Valentine; Richardson, Ita (Association for Computing Machinery, 2006)

To support software development globalisation, organisations are increasingly implementing virtual team strategies. However, these teams have to work within the confines of the factors which distance introduces, thus ...
Uncovering theories in software engineering

Stol, Klaas-Jan; Fitzgerald, Brian (IEEE Computer Society, 2013)

There has been a growing interest in the role of theory within Software Engineering (SE) research. For several decades, researchers within the SE research community have argued that, to become a real engineering science, ...
Understanding agility in software development through a complex adaptive systems perspective

Wang, Xiaofeng; Conboy, Kieran (2009)

Agile software development methods have emerged in recent years and have become increasingly popular since the start of the century. While much research claims to study agile methods, the meaning of agility itself in ...
Understanding flexible and distributed software development processes

Agerfalk, Par J.; Fitzgerald, Brian (IEEE Computer Society, 2006)

The minitrack on Flexible and Distributed Software Development Processes addresses two important and partially intertwined current themes in software development: process flexibility and globally distributed software ...
Understanding place as experience: augmenting human activities in contex

Ciolfi, Luigina; Deshpande, Parag; Bannon, Liam J. (2005)

In this paper we will outline our approach to studying and understanding place as a notion to guide the design of novel interactive installations in public spaces, in order to augment and enhance, as well as support, ...
Understanding the functions of teleconferences for coordinating global software development projects

Wiredu, Gamel O. (John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2010)

One of the dominant characteristics of contemporary software development is the global distribution of tasks, of developers, of information and of technologies. Undoubtedly, such distribution engenders new coordination ...
Understanding the influential factors to development effort in Chinese software industry

He, Mei; Zhang, He; Yang, Ye; Wang, Qing; Li, Mingshu (Springer-Verlag, 2010)

A good understanding of the influential factors to software development effort and further precise effort estimate are undoubtedly crucial to any cost-effective and controllable software development projects. In most effort ...
Understanding the software product line derivation process: an industrial example

de Souza, Leandro Oliveira; O'Leary, Pádraig; de Almeida, Eduardo Santana; de Lemos Meira, Silvio Romero (EuroSPI, 2013)

Software Product Line Engineering has emerged as a software engineering strategy aimed at helping industry achieve business goals. Nevertheless, in order to ensure the return of invest-ment with the Software Product Line ...
Understanding the value of business process configuration

Carroll, Noel; Whelan, Eoin; Richardson, Ita (2010)

In order to deliver effective services, providers are being advised to 'innovate' their service delivery systems. Innovation in this context often refers to technology, technique or restructuring improvements. However, the ...
The use of empirical methods in open source software research: facts, trends and future directions

Stol, Klaas-Jan; Ali Babar, Muhammad; Russo, Barbara; Fitzgerald, Brian (IEEE Computer Society, 2009)

Open Source Software (OSS) is a field of study with increasing interest of researchers. By its nature, OSS is especially suitable for empirical research. A great number of OSS related empirical studies have been conducted, ...
User interface engineering for software product lines:the dilemma between automation and usability

Pleuss, Andreas; Hauptmann, Benedikt; Dhungana, Deepak; Botterweck, Goetz (Association for Computing Machinery, 2012)

Software Product Lines (SPL) are systematic approach to develop families of similar software products by explicating their commonalities and variability, e.g., in a feature model. Using techniques from model-driven ...
User-centric adaptation of multi-tenant services: preference-based analysis for service reconfiguration

García-Galán, Jesús; Pasquale, Liliana; Trinidad, Pablo; Ruiz-Cortés, Antonio (Association for Computing Machinery, 2014)

Multi-tenancy is a key pillar of cloud services. It allows dif- ferent tenants to share computing resources transparently and, at the same time, guarantees substantial cost savings for the providers. However, from a ...
Using and characterizing change-sets to support feature location

Chochlov, Muslim (University of Limerick, 2017)

Feature location is finding the source code that implements specific functionality in software systems. Feature location is a complex activity and, when performed manually, it may require significant developers' effort. ...
Using argumentation to explain ambiguity in requirements elicitation interviews

Elrakaiby, Yehia; Ferrari, Alessio; Spoletini, Paola; Gnesi, Stefania; Nuseibeh, Bashar (IEEE Computer Society, 2017)

The requirements elicitation process often starts with an interview between a customer and a requirements analyst. During these interviews, ambiguities in the dialogic discourse may reveal the presence of tacit knowledge ...
Using Artificial Intelligence To Detect Fraud On The Blockchain

Ghassemi Toosi, Farshad; Sai, Ashish Rajendra (2019)

Cryptocurrencies witnessed extensive attention from both academia and industry after the inflation in 2017. This broad recognition has led to its adoption by people beyond the research domain. This increased adoption may ...
Using focus groups in studies of ISD team behaviour

Ó hEocha, Colm; Conboy, Kieran; Wang, Xiaofeng (Academic Publishing Limited, 2010)

This paper discusses an innovative focus group approach used to study an Information Systems Development (ISD) environment. The research had to cope with the application of a broad framework, untested in practice, seeking ...
Using functional defect analysis as an input for software process improvement: initial results

Toroi, Tanja; Raninen, Anu; Vainio, Hannu (Springer, 2012)

In this paper we present how functional defect analysis can be applied for software process improvement (SPI) purposes. Software defect data is shown to be one of the most important available management information sources ...
Using higher‐order transformations to derive variability mechanism for embedded systems

Botterweck, Goetz; Polzer, Andreas; Kowalewski, Stefan (2009)
