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.

Affordable and Energy-Efficient Cloud Computing Clusters: The Bolzano Raspberry Pi Cloud Cluster Experiment

The ongoing work building a Raspberry Pi cluster consisting of 300 nodes is presented, with potential use cases being an inexpensive and green test bed for cloud computing research and a robust and mobile data center for operating in adverse environments.

Making Sense out of a Jungle of JavaScript Frameworks: towards a Practitioner-friendly Comparative Analysis

This paper proposes a research design towards a comparative analysis framework of JSF, which merges researcher needs and practitioner needs and is a call for action to the critical needs.

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.

Lean startup: why large software companies should care

This paper investigates why large companies should adopt Lean startup to seek for radical innovation and identifies the characteristics of internal startups and the lessons learned on practising Lean Startup inside the large software company.

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.

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.

The Essence Theory of Software Engineering - Large-Scale Classroom Experiences from 450+ Software Engineering BSc Students

This paper studies Essence in an educational setting to evaluate its usefulness for software engineering students while also investigating barriers to its adoption in this context.
