Diffusion-Based Refinement for Kilometer-Scale Probabilistic Precipitation Nowcasting

Localized extreme precipitation is a major trigger of urban flash floods and landslides, yet producing nowcasts that combine fine spatial detail with probabilistic uncertainty remains challenging. Here we introduce exPreCast-ENS, a conditional residual diffusion framework that transforms the deterministic 4 km radar no...

Is management commitment a necessity after all in software process improvement?

Literature and practice has established that the lack of management commitment has been one of the top reasons for a failed SPI (software process improvement) initiative. The paper reports results from an ongoing study aimed at clarifying the role and the meaning of management commitment in SPI initiatives. Results fro...

The Interaction Between Organizational Subcultures and User-Centered Design - A Case Study of an Implementation Effort

The results indicate that there exist differences in the views of the nature of UCD, and in the motives for implementing it, in the experiences gained and interpretations made of the use of it in relation to each subculture.

The role of commitment in software process improvement

This thesis suggests that the commitment phenomenon is better explained through what can be called strategic, operational and personal commitment nets, which can be used for analyzing the unfolding and alteration of commitment towards a specific entity, in this case a software process improvement endeavor, through time...

Personal Software Process: Classroom Experiences from Finland

Results from the University of Oulu in Finland, where PSP is a mandatory course for students majoring in software engineering, do not indicate a significant improvement in size or effort estimation skills, but the defects found in the unit test phase were decreased.

Evolutionary product line modelling

This work proposes an evolutionary software product line modelling approach based on controllable inheritance of product line members specifications that uses hierarchies of implemented product specifications accompanied by correctness control of product model transformations.

Solving a 31-year-old grand challenge in mathematics – the KLS conjecture

For decades, a fundamental question about the difficulty of computing in high-dimensional spaces has resisted proof. New research resolves this question, removing a major theoretical obstacle to understanding the efficiency of randomized algorithms used across science and computing. The Kannan–Lovász–Simonovits (KLS) conjecture was proposed in 1995. It asks whether, for a broad class of high-dimensional […] The post Solving a 31-year-old grand challenge in mathematics – the KLS conjecture appear…
