The first results from a study exploring the consequences of the unhappy developers are presented, and it is predicted that the classification scheme identified will spawn new happiness studies linking causes and effects and can act as a guideline for developers and managers to foster happiness at work.

This study demonstrates that it is possible to use the CMMI for assessing and improving agile processes, however, the analysis reveals that assessing an agile organization requires more interpretations than normally would be the case.

Professor Paris Smaragdis develops computers with superhuman hearing for applications like speech recognition, music understanding, and environmental monitoring.
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…

Zero-knowledge proofs can verify computing results without rerunning workloads or exposing sensitive data. Magnetar helps bring them into the mainstream with support for standard programming languages, major speed gains, and quantum-resistant security. The post Proof-based general-purpose computing with Magnetar appeared first on Microsoft Research.
