Abstract
PCR-SAITS v1.1.0 This release adds CSDI support as the third backbone adapter in PCR-SAITS, alongside SAITS and BRITS. What's new Added CSDIBackbone Added public PCRCSDI adapter Added CSDI checkpoint save/load support Added deterministic imputation from CSDI diffusion samples Preserves observed values during imputation Added end-to-end tests with real PyPOTS CSDI Updated documentation and examples Updated minimum PyPOTS requirement to pypots>=1.5 Public API from pcrsaits import SAITSBackbone, BRITSBackbone, CSDIBackbone, PCRSAITS, PCRBRITS, PCRCSDI Installation pip install pcrsaits==1.1.0 Qualified release artifacts The release artifacts were built and qualified before publication. pcrsaits-1.1.0-py3-none-any.whl SHA256: 45b0454f61c255d458b1d1734d97f176a4fc18e7070036e9e7181da4cf3d9dbb pcrsaits-1.1.0.tar.gz SHA256: e013c276666e9bb1b54cd6e23c60818e4705bad1d7537bd9b4c28d157d0d06cb Notes PCR-CSDI uses the existing PCR residual-correction framework without changing the core correction mechanism. This release targets compatibility with PyPOTS 1.5 or later. Citation If you use PCR-SAITS in research, please cite the associated publication and software record provided in the repository.
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.

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.
