2. 1. Software Quality Evaluation for Evolving Systems in Distributed Development Environments

   Author : Ronald Jabangwe; Blekinge Tekniska Högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Global software development; Distributed software development; Software transfer; Object-oriented measures; Software quality; Software evolution;

   Abstract : Context: There is an overwhelming prevalence of companies developing software in global software development (GSD) contexts. The existing body of knowledge, however, falls short of providing comprehensive empirical evidence on the implication of GSD contexts on software quality for evolving software systems. READ MORE

4. 2. Exploring the Sources of Enterprise Agility in Software Organizations

   Author : Jayakanth Srinivasan; Kristina Lundqvist; Christer Norstrom; Pekka Abrahamsson; Mälardalens högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Software Organizations; Enterprise Agility; Engaged Scholarship; Case Studies; Innovation; Process Improvement; Global Software Development; Software engineering; Programvaruteknik; Business and economics; Ekonomi; Computer Science; datavetenskap;

   Abstract : Software is one of the core elements that drive the modern economy, with visible use in areas such as personal computing, telecommunications and banking, and background use in areas such as aircraft traffic management, nuclear power generation, and automotive control systems. Organizations that build software are unique in that they span industrial domains, and at their core of what they do is codifying human knowledge. READ MORE

5. 3. Efficient Software Development Through Agile Methods

   Author : Samireh Jalali; Blekinge Tekniska Högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Context: Distributed teams characterize Global Software Engineering (GSE). GSE stakeholders are from different cultures, geographic places and potentially time zones. These conditions have significant consequences on communication, coordination and control of software projects. READ MORE

6. 4. Introducing Mode Switch in Component-Based Software Development

   Author : Hang Yin; Hans Hansson; Paul Pettersson; Thomas Nolte; Carlo Ghezzi; Mälardalens högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; mode switch; multi-mode; component-based; Computer Science; datavetenskap;

   Abstract : Self-adaptivity, characterized by the ability to dynamically adjust behavior at runtime, is a growing trend in the evolution of modern embedded systems. While self-adaptive systems tend to be flexible and autonomous, self-adaptivity may inevitably complicate software design, test and analysis. READ MORE

7. 5. Unwrapping Cobol : Lessons in Crisis Computing

   Author : Linda Hilfling Ritasdatter; Susan Kozel; Maria Hellström Reimer; Florian Cramer; Nishant Shah; Malmö universitet; []
   Keywords : Crisis; Execution; Maintenance; Cobol; Automation; Global Flows; Y2K; Human Factor; Outsourcing; Development; Legacy Systems; Programming Languages; History of Computing; HCI; Software Wrapping; Postcolonial Studies; Diffraction; Broken world thinking; Grace Hopper; Media Archaeology; Debugging; Zombie Media; Obsolescence; Technological Development; Unsettling Ontologies; Fourth Industrial Revolution; Artificial Intelligence; Interaktionsdesign; Interaktionsdesign;

   Abstract : By engaging with COBOL, a detested and would-be obsolete programming language, the dark sides of automation are examined in this thesis: hidden workforces and computational infrastructures that are, in reality, central to the execution and maintenance of global economic and informational flows. Frictions within these flows are made more visible in moments of crisis when asymmetrical power structures are surfaced, as demonstrated in an analysis of the infamous Y2K Bug, its connection to the outsourcing boom in India and the legacy of COBOL.
