An interpretable river water quality prediction model by integrating deep learning and large language models

Physical mechanism-based models for river water quality prediction involve complicated calculations，whereas machine learning models lack interpretability，resulting in a disconnection between predictions and management decisions that hinders practical application. To deeply integrate high-precision prediction with dec...

Multi-Agent Robotic Control with Onboard Vision-Language Models

Results demonstrate that a fully onboard MAS architecture is a viable, cost-efficient alternative to cloud-dependent deployments, with strong potential for real-world transfer.

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.

Experimental software engineering (STESE)

Software engineering theory and practice is still to a large extent based more on faith than on science. Only by contributing to the scientific and empirically grounded body of knowledge within a specific area of application, theory and practice can develop. Experimentation is an important scientific approach to collec...

Developing Software Products for Mobile Markets: Need for Rethinking Development Models and Practices

Commitment to Software Process Improvement—Development of Diagnostic Tool to Facilitate Improvement1

Early results suggest that the behaviors introduced in the model are relevant in SPI initiatives, the use of model raises the awareness about the people issues in improving processes, and the model could be used aside with CMM, SPICE or other process improvement models.

Modelling Usability Capability - Introducing the Dimensions

This work proposes an enhanced model where the usability capability is analyzed from three dimensions: user- centered infrastructure, implementation of user-centered practices in development projects, and business management commitment to usability as a competitive asset.

The personal software process: experiences from Denmark

The findings indicate an improvement in effort estimation skills and an increase in the resulting product quality in terms of reduced total defect density and the use of the PSP method in the software industry is discussed.

Commitment Nets in Software Process Improvement

This study suggests that software organizations operate through strategic, operational and personal commitment nets, and shows that SPI is driven through the formation and reformation of commitment nets.

Exploring the Sources of Waste in Kanban Software Development Projects

The application of agile software methods and more recently the integration of Lean practices contribute to the trend of continuous improvement in the software industry. One such area warranting proper empirical evidence is a project’s operational efficiency when using the Kanban method. This short paper takes a new an...

Building blocks for self-organizing software development teams a framework model and empirical pilot study

Agile Project - An Oxymoron? Proposing an Unproject Leadership Model for Complex Space

This paper proposes a novel approach called the unproject leadership model, which translates and maps the specific complexity concepts to the software development domain, consolidating them with the contributions already achieved by the lean and agile literature.
