Abstract: Standardization processes build upon consensus between partners, which depends on their ability to identify points of disagreement and resolving them. Large standardization organizations, like the 3GPP or ISO, rely on leaders of work packages who can correctly, and efficiently, identify disagreements, discuss them and reach a consensus. This task, however, is effort-, labor-intensive and costly. I...
Abstract: Large-scale systems development commonly faces the challenge of managing relevant knowledge between different organizational groups, particularly in increasingly agile contexts. Here, there is a conflict between coordination and group autonomy, and it is challenging to determine what necessary coordination information must be shared by what teams or groups, and what can be left to local team manag...
Abstract: Security assurance cases (SACs) consist of arguments that are supported by evidence to justify that a system is acceptably secure. However, they are a relatively static representation of the system’s security and therefore currently not effective at runtime which make them difficult to maintain and unable to support users during threats. The aim of this paper is to investigate how SACs can be adap...
Abstract: Blended modeling is an approach that enables users to interact with a model via multiple notations. In this context, there is a growing need for open-source industry-grade exemplars of languages with available language engineering artifacts, in particular, editors and notations for supporting the creation of models based on a single metamodel in different representations (e.g., textual, graphical,...
Abstract: Multimodal Learning Analytics (MMLA) systems integrate diverse data to provide real-time insights into student learning, yet their design faces the challenge of limited established guidelines. This study investigates essential design considerations for MMLA systems during the research and development phase, aiming to enhance their effectiveness in educational settings. A qualitative approach emplo...
Abstract: Cybersecurity issues in medical devices threaten patient safety and can cause harm if exploited. Standards and regulations therefore require vendors of such devices to provide an assessment of the cybersecurity risks as well as a description of their mitigation. Security assurance cases (SACs) capture these elements as a structured argument. Compiling an SAC requires taking domain-specific regulat...
Abstract: As automotive companies increasingly move operations to the cloud, they need to carefully make architectural decisions. Currently, architectural decisions are made ad-hoc and depend on the experience of the involved architects. Recent research has proposed the use of data-driven techniques that help humans to understand complex design spaces and make thought-through decisions. This paper presents ...
Abstract: Continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) have transformed software development by reducing delivery time, improving product quality, and giving enterprises a competitive advantage. However, large-scale projects confront difficulties in giving fast feedback to developers due to large test suites, resulting in longer testing cycles and lower productivity. Traditional regression testing methods st...
Abstract: In the dynamic landscape of digital education, the Glocal Classroom (GC) stands out as a multifaceted smart learning environment. The integration of Multimodal Learning Analytics (MMLA) comes as an intriguing proposition, promising insights into learning dynamics and enhancing educational outcomes. Encountering numerous interdependent considerations involved in the design and integration of MMLA s...
Abstract: Conventional and established models for designing and developing MMLA systems are scarce in literature. In this work, we identified and analysed existing MMLA models to understand their contributions to MMLA system design and development. We conducted a systematic review searching relevant databases for studies published within the last decade that explicitly propose model or frameworks in MMLA. W...
Abstract: Although the need to comply with standards has been identified, the concept of continuous compliance has never been defined and characterized. We provide a precise definition of continuous compliance and discuss how compliance with standards can be ensured....
Abstract: Modeling is often associated with complex and heavy tooling, leading to a negative perception among practitioners. However, alternative paradigms, such as everything-as-code or low-code, are gaining acceptance due to their perceived ease of use. This paper explores the dichotomy between these perceptions through the lens of “modeler experience” (MX). MX includes factors such as user experience, mo...
Abstract: Education for sustainable development has evolved to include more constructive approaches and a better understanding of what is needed to align education with the cultural, societal, and pedagogical changes required to avoid the risks posed by an unsustainable society. This evolution aims to lead us toward viable, equitable, and sustainable futures. However, computing education, including software...
Abstract: Low-power wireless Internet of Things (IoT) devices employ Time Slotted Channel Hopping (TSCH) Medium Access Control to achieve predictable timing behaviour. TSCH aims at collision-free scheduling by exploiting diversity over time (slots) and frequency (channels). However, existing works on performance and worst-case analysis are based on deterministic models, which lead to rather pessimistic non-...
