Abstract
Supplementary code and materials for 'SurfaceRecipe: Information-Efficient Mesh Surface Representation for Lightweight 3-D Shape Classification' (submitted to Computers and Graphics). SurfaceRecipe is a lightweight, mesh-informed 3-D shape classifier organised around a continuous geometric evidence signal. It builds fixed-length surface primitives from area-weighted triangle samples (coordinates, normals, areas, radii, edge scales, and a compact patch code) and derives a continuous per-primitive saliency score that drives an evidence-aware sampler (SCSS) and conditions bounded residual modulation of neighbourhood messages (SCRM). The package contains the full training/evaluation scripts, the ablation and reproducibility harness for the 589,814-parameter matched backbone, and the SCSS saliency visualization outputs (SVG/PNG/PLY/CSV) referenced in the paper. The model uses 0.600M parameters and reaches 93.3% overall accuracy on ModelNet40 without pretraining, voting, or test-time augmentation. This is the anonymized version prepared for peer review. GPU computing resources were provided by the Huawei AI 100-Schools Program (Computing Power Support).
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 perception of the impact of agile methods is predominantly positive, and several challenge areas were discovered, but based on this study, agile methods are here to stay.
