Abstract
Profile A sidecar to oes32-residual: a deterministic, standard-library-only Python telemetry-triage harness (residual latch, EVEN/ODD symmetry, FOLD8 continuity) for 32-element vectors. It evaluates a proposed 32-element state vector against a reference and returns a deterministic SAFE / LATCH containment decision plus all residuals. A technical specification documents the data contracts, equations, threshold semantics, validation rules, and traceability. Relationship to ADR-001. The normative residual R is defined by oes32-residual@b77b612. This engine computes the same R and adds Profile A sidecar checks; the sidecar thresholds and the FOLD8/symmetry definitions are not normative. The OES-512 weighted latch is TARGET and is not implemented here. Evidence tags. Unit-test inputs: SYNTHETIC (hand-written vectors). Default thresholds (τ = 0.08; τ_sym, τ_fold default to τ): design parameters of this sidecar, not derived from measured data. Timing, hardware, or field behaviour: not claimed (UNRUN). Scope and limits. Research prototype. Not certified control software and not a certification artifact; it must not be connected directly to safety-critical hardware without independent verification, validation, and engineering review. Not a qubit gate, QPU status, or quantum-hardware result; not hardware, field, or medical software. Evidence tags follow sparkainlp-x/.github (SYNTHETIC / REPORTED / TARGET / UNRUN).
This publication proposes a definition and a classification of agile software development approaches and analyses ten software development methods that can be characterized as being "agile" against the defined criterion.

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.

The results indicate that software engineering work practices are chosen opportunistically, adapted and configured to provide value under the constrains imposed by the startup context.

The results show that the embedded industry has been able to apply agile methods in its development processes and that the appreciation of the agile methods and their individual practices appears to increase once adopted and applied in practice.

Writing as a participant and researcher, PhD student JS Tan SM ’22 has co-authored a new book about the rise of tech worker protests and the employer backlash that followed.
Requirements in large systems rarely exist in isolation. Their meaning depends on the wider project context - other requirements, policies, decisions, tests, and implementation details. That becomes especially important when AI is used for review, because spotting a possible conflict or gap is only the beginning. ReqSpace explores how AI, visualisation, and connected project context can help reviewers understand those findings, trace the relationships behind them, and focus on the questions that…
AI is making software generation faster, but speed does not remove the need for expertise. As more work is delegated to AI, tacit knowledge may become one of the most important human advantages in software engineering.
