Towards Ontology-Guided Requirements Quality Analysis: an LLM-Based Tool for EHR Systems

Systematic assessment of software requirements against standardized quality models remains a challenge in requirements engineering (RE), particularly in large-scale, critical, and regulated information systems. Large language models (LLMs) have been extensively studied in many RE tasks; however, grounding LLM-assisted...

On the Figures of Merit for Quantum Software Security: Toward a Benchmarking Rubric

Quantum software is increasingly provided through multi-tenant and cloud-based Quantum-as-a-Service (QaaS) stacks. A growing concern about the diverse attack vectors across the pipeline has been demonstrated in recent research. Yet the community has converged on three mature pillars: Scale (Qubit Count), Quality (Quant...

An Autonomy Aware Metamodel for Human AI Collaboration in Software Engineering

This work provides a conceptual foundation for governance-aware, adaptable, and AI-first software engineering methods by proposing a metamodel that treats autonomy not as a fixed property of an actor, but as a derived, situation-dependent authority assignment determined by task, context, and collaboration pattern.

An End-to-End Threat Model for the Quantum-as-a-Service Pipeline

This matrix demonstrated attack vectors in quantum-specific, inherited classical, and plausible tiers for each of the stages and investigates the underexplored sections (repudiation and elevation-of-privilege) and distinguish three different cross-stage attack chains with higher impacts.

Examining Privacy and Trust Issues at the Edge of Isomorphic IoT Architectures: Case Liquid AI

This research highlights the heightened threats to data integrity and stakeholder trust in these evolving ecosystems through an intensive examination of the literature, initiating a pioneering discourse emphasizing fostering a foundation for developing secure and trustworthy Liquid AI environments.

Carbon-Aware Governance Gates: An Architecture for Sustainable GenAI Development

Carbon-Aware Governance Gates (CAGG), an architectural extension that embeds carbon budgets, energy provenance, and sustainability-aware validation orchestration into human-AI governance layers, is proposed.

Time for AI (Ethics) Maturity Model Is Now

It is argued that AI software is still software and needs to be approached from the software development perspective, and whether the focus should be on AI ethics or the quality of an AI system, called a maturity model for the development of AI systems is discussed.

Elements of Sustainability for Public Sector Software - Mosaic Enterprise Architecture, Macroservices, and Low-Code

Product-Focused Software Process Improvement

This paper reports a study where realism was combined with control over certain context and process factors to identify the most important relationships among process, context and outcome.

Exploring Virtual Reality as an Integrated Development Environment for Cyber-Physical Systems

Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) development approaches tend to start from the physical (hardware) perspective, and the software is the final element in the process. However, this approach is unfit for the more software-intensive world that is increasingly iterative, connected, and constantly online. Many constraints preve...

Containers in Software Development: A Systematic Mapping Study

Containers are most often discussed in the context of cloud computing, performance and DevOps, and it is found that what is currently missing is more deeply focused research.

Towards a Secure DevOps Approach for Cyber-Physical Systems: An Industrial Perspective

The study shows that, because security is a cross-cutting property in complex CPSs, its proficient management requires system-wide competencies and capabilities across the CPSs development and operation.
