This work proposes an evolutionary software product line modelling approach based on controllable inheritance of product line members specifications that uses hierarchies of implemented product specifications accompanied by correctness control of product model transformations.

Software engineering theory and practice is still to a large extent based more on faith than on science. Only by contributing to the scientific and empirically grounded body of knowledge within a specific area of application, theory and practice can develop. Experimentation is an important scientific approach to collec...

While extreme programming (XP) relies on certain principles, it requires an extensive set of tools to enable an effective execution of its practices. In many companies, putting stories on the board may not be sufficient for managing rapidly changing requirements. The objective of This work is to report the results from...

The analysis reveals that XP pays almost no attention on the usability of the software, apart from some actions that can be regarded as implicit usability evaluations, and that in XP the team transfers the responsibility of the product's usability to the customer.

Results from a study of a mobile application development project where the Offsite Customer Process Model was empirically evaluated show that the model itself is context-dependent and it has to be adapted to the underlying development process.

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.
