Distribution of software development is becoming more and more common in order to save the production cost and reduce the time to market. Large geographical distance, different time zones and cultural differences in distributed software…
Thermal-aware workload distribution is a common approach in the literature for power consumption optimization in data centers. However, data centers also have other operational costs such as the cost of equipment maintenance and…
Software is a unique entity that has laid a strong impact on all other fields either related or not related to software. These include medical, scientific, business, educational, defence, transport, telecommunication to name a few.…
Continuous technology scaling and the introduction of advanced technology nodes in Integrated Circuit (IC) fabrication is constantly exposing new manufacturability issues. One such issue, stemming from complex interaction between design and…
The focus on rapid software delivery inevitably results in the accumulation of technical debt, which, in turn, affects quality and slows future development. Yet, companies with a long history of rapid delivery exist. Our primary aim is to…
Distribution can be a feature of the software evolution process. In other words, temporally and spatially distributed teams and organizations can develop and work on a software application. The simplest case is to outsource production and…
Context: Large embedded systems in vehicles tend to grow in size and complexity, which causes challenges when maintaining these systems. Objective: We explore how developers perceive the relation between maintainability effort and various…
Serverless computing is transforming cloud application development, but the performance-cost trade-offs of control plane designs remain poorly understood due to a lack of open, cross-platform benchmarks and detailed system analyses. In this…
The ability to independently deploy parts of a software system is one of the cornerstones of modern software development, and allows for these parts to evolve independently and at different speeds. A major challenge of such independent…
Over time, software systems suffer gradual quality decay and therefore costs can rise if organizations fail to take proactive countermeasures. Quality control is the first step to avoiding this cost trap. Continuous quality assessments help…
Developing software to undertake complex, compute-intensive scientific processes requires a challenging combination of both specialist domain knowledge and software development skills to convert this knowledge into efficient code. As…
The ever-increasing amount, variety as well as generation and processing speed of today's data pose a variety of new challenges for developing Data-Intensive Software Systems (DISS). As with developing other kinds of software systems,…
The Open Source Software movement has been growing exponentially for a number of years with no signs of slowing. Driving this growth is the widespread availability of libraries and frameworks that provide many functionalities. Developers…
Microservice systems are becoming increasingly adopted due to their scalability, decentralized development, and support for continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD). However, this decentralized development by separate teams and…
There is a growing need for better development methods and tools to keep up with the increasing complexity of new software systems. New types of user interfaces, the need for intelligent components, sustainability concerns, ... bring new…
Software estimation is one of the most important activities in the software project. The software effort estimation is required in the early stages of software life cycle. Project Failure is the major problem undergoing nowadays as seen by…
Model-based development and in particular MDA [1], [2] have promised to be especially suited for the development of complex, heterogeneous, and large software systems. However, so far MDA has failed to fulfill this promise to a larger…
The pervasive adoption of Continuous Integration practices -- both in industry and open source projects -- has led software building to become a daily activity for thousands of developers around the world. Companies such as Microsoft have…
Serverless computing is increasingly popular because of the promise of lower cost and the convenience it provides to users who do not need to focus on server management. This has resulted in the availability of a number of proprietary and…
Software upgrades are critical to maintaining server reliability in datacenters. While job duration prediction and scheduling have been extensively studied, the unique challenges posed by software upgrades remain largely under-explored.…
