Software engineering (SE) research needs to incorporate affect measurements to valorize human factors and to enhance management styles.
Abstract
Software engineering (SE) research lacks theory and methodologies for addressing human aspects in software development. Development tasks are undertaken through cognitive processing activities. Affects (emotions, moods, and feelings) have a linkage to cognitive processing activities and the productivity of individuals. SE research needs to incorporate affect measurements to valorize human factors and to enhance management styles.
doctoral research explores the interplay between emotions and systems thinking in engineers’ sociotechnical problem solving. Drawing on appraisal theory, the study uses the Critical Incident Technique (CRT) and qualitative interviews with practicing engineers the thesis demonstrates that emotions are integral to sociot...

Computer-use AI agents struggle with multi-step workflows like email and customer support. Echoverse trains agents in realistic environments rather than simply providing more training tasks, helping them improve as the tasks, tests, and environments evolve. The post Echoverse: Deep, evolving environments for computer-use agents appeared first on Microsoft Research.
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.
