The idea and concept of Frankensteining is presented, which is based on the repeated application of IoT design methods in various contexts in various contexts, and a practical Frankensteining creation is presented and a serial Frankensteining approach is tested.

Abstract

There are numerous IoT design methods. Previous research shows that all of them have their strengths, but also their limitations. None of them is a universal, all-purpose method. However, experts often view these methods as more versatile than their creators intended. Therefore, analyzing existing methods and tools, as well as rearranging and combining their approaches and components - just as Frankenstein did with his creature - offers the possibility of new creations that may be better than any single method previously. We present the idea and concept of Frankensteining, which is based on the repeated application of IoT design methods in various contexts. We present a practical Frankensteining creation that was used in a workshop, our own methods, and a serial Frankensteining approach that was tested in an educational context. We conclude with a discussion on Frankensteining and invite other experts and practitioners to share their perspectives and experiences.

The impact of agile practices on communication in software development

The study shows that agile practices improve both informal and formal communication, but indicates that, in larger development situations involving multiple external stakeholders, a mismatch of adequate communication mechanisms can sometimes even hinder the communication.

Formally verifying agent-written full-stack web apps with PDD Kit

AI agents can generate code at a scale that’s hard for humans to review line-by-line. PDD Kit helps ensure the code is doing what the developer intended by creating formal specifications and testing against them. It converts developer intent into a Verus specification, proves AI-generated code meets it for every input, and uses tests where proofs aren't practical. Developers review intent, not every line. The post Formally verifying agent-written full-stack web apps with PDD Kit appeared first o…
