Perspectives on Global Software Development: special issue on PROFES 2007

The Profes conference series was established in 1999 to provide a venue for industry and academia to present and discuss the shift from model-based improvement to a product-oriented perspective in the field of software engineering and software process improvement, which includes a context-oriented understanding of the...

Failure Prediction using the Cox Proportional Hazard Model

Log messages are proposed to be used to predict failures running devices that read log files of running application and warns about the likely failure of the system; the prediction is based on the Cox Proportional Hazards (PH) model that has been applied successfully in various fields of research.

A Web-based modeling tool for the SEMAT Essence theory of Software Engineering

SEMAT Accelerator (SematAcc) is a Web-positioning tool for a software engineering endeavor, which implements the SEMAT’s Essence kernel, and permits the use of Essence, thus helping to understand it.

Are Happy Developers more Productive? The Correlation of Affective States of Software Developers and their self-assessed Productivity

An empirical study on the impact of affective states on software developers’ performance while programming and the value of applying psychometrics in Software Engineering studies is demonstrated and a call to valorize the human, individualized aspects of software developers is echoed.

A framework for systematic analysis of open access journals and its application in software engineering and information systems

It is shown that high article processing charges are not sufficiently justified by the publishers, which often lack transparency and may prevent authors from adopting OA.

Towards Abstraction and Automation in Software Engineering

The results of this study show that the Ball ecosystem has the potential to improve the productivity of software development, however, it should produce smaller and more reasonable software systems, leading to a better reusability and a shorter learning phase for new developers.

Hunter-gatherer cycle: a conceptual model of the evolution of software startups

The results show that the proposed conceptual model can capture innovation generation activities and the non-linear evolution of engineering activities in software startups, which is not presentable in current software life cycle models.

Bringing the Cloud to Rural and Remote Areas - Cloudlet by Cloudlet

This work proposes a hardware platform based on small single-board computers that is extendable and scalable as well as easy to deploy, relying on an open design and illustrates how to build such a system without incurring high costs, high power consumption, or single points of failure.

Towards an Early Stage Software Startups Evolution Model

What leads developers towards the choice of a JavaScript framework?

A model of factors that are desirable to be found in a JSF and a representation of the decision makers involved in the frameworks selection is offered, which contributes to the body of knowledge related to the decision-making process when selecting aJSF.

A preliminary study of agility in business and production: cases of early-stage hardware startups

It is found that agile development is known to hardware entrepreneurs, however it is limitedly adopted, and four categories of tactics are found that enable hardware startups agile in their early stage business and product development.

Do software firms collaborate or compete? A model of coopetition in community-initiated OSS projects

A conceptual model to explain for coop competition among software firms in OSS projects is proposed and shows two aspects of coopetition can be managed at the same time based on firm gatekeepers.
