Abstract
This paper investigates the potential of neuromorphic computing for event-driven data processing. Traditional computing architectures often struggle with the inherent inefficiencies of handling continuous data streams, leading to significant energy consumption. The core claim presented here is that mimicking the brain's event-driven neural processing offers a pathway to dramatically improved data processing efficiency and reduced energy expenditure. The proposed approach centers around constructing a neuromorphic system utilizing temporal circuits, leveraging the principles of event-driven signal transmission and parallel computation to achieve real-time data stream processing. This work outlines the theoretical framework and key design considerations for such a system, highlighting its advantages over conventional approaches. The research addresses the critical need for more energy-efficient data processing solutions, particularly in applications such as sensor networks, edge computing, and real-time analytics. The system's ability to react only to significant events within the data stream, rather than processing every element, is expected to yield substantial performance gains. Ultimately, this exploration contributes to the growing field of neuromorphic computing and its potential to revolutionize data handling paradigms. ---
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.

Jennifer Neville did not want to go into computer science—but that’s exactly where she landed. Neville discusses the starts and stops that led to her professional sweet spot and her work identifying “surprising failures” making it hard for AI to handle complexity.
