- Agile approaches have been highly influential to the software engineering practices in many organizations, and are increasingly being applied in larger companies, and for developing systems outside the pure software domain. To understand more about the current state of agile, its applications to safety-critical systems, and the consequences on innovation and large organizations, a seminar was organized in Stockholm in 2014. This paper gives an overview of the topics discussed at that seminar, a summary of the main results and suggestions for future work as input to a research agenda for agile development of safety-critical software.

Graphical notations for active rules in UML and UML-A
- 2003
-
Ingår i: Software Engineering Notes. - : ACM Press. - 0163-5948 .- 1943-5843. ; 28:2, s. 1-6

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Active rules (i.e., event condition action rules, triggers) have been put forward as a technique for reacting to important events, and thereby avoiding polling or embedding rule processing in applications. Despite the promises of active rules technology, the usage of active rules is low in practice. It has often been claimed (by database researchers) that the reason why few active rules applications have been built is due to the lack of support in analysis and design phases. Hence, there are very few notations or guidelines available for software engineers who develop active rules applications.In this paper, we propose modelling templates for UML state-charts and UML-A statecharts for how software engineers can capture the fundamentals of active rules. By following the proposed modelling templates and notations for active rules, it will be easier for software engineers to develop applications that rely on active rules technology.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are large interconnected softwareintensivesystems that influence, by sensing and actuating, thephysical world. Examples are traffic management and power grids.One of the trends we observe is the need to endow such systemswith the “smart” capabilities, typically in the form of selfawarenessand self-adaptation, along with the traditional qualitiesof safety and dependability. These requirements combined withspecifics of the domain of smart CPS – such as large scale, the roleof end-users, uncertainty, and open-endedness – render traditionalsoftware engineering (SE) techniques not directly applicable; makingsystematic SE of smart CPS a challenging task. This paperreports on the results of the First International Workshop on SoftwareEngineering of Smart Cyber-Physical Systems (SEsCPS2015), where participants discussed characteristics, challenges andopportunities of SE for smart CPS, with the aim to outline anagenda for future research in this important area.

1st International Requirements Engineering Efficiency Workshop – REEW 2011
- 2011

Ingår i: Software Engineering Notes. - : ACM. - 0163-5948 .- 1943-5843. ; 36:3, s. 26-28

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Requirements engineering research has for a long time focused on specification quality, leading to recommendations of how to engineer “perfect” requirements specifications. Practitioners, however, do not have the time, resources, and interests for overdoing requirements engineering. Rather, many situations call for shortcuts that allow investing effort in those concerns that are critical for success, while reducing effort in other areas where risk is comparably smaller. The social context, smart collaboration processes, and novel ways of looking at the interface between stakeholders and the supplier can be a basis to increase the yield of requirements engineering, while reducing required effort. The International Requirements Engineering Efficiency Workshop (REEW 2011) aimed at initiating, facilitating, and nurturing the discussion on efficient approaches to engineer just good-enough requirements. Requirements engineering was seen as a means that can be simplified, automated, or combined with other practices to achieve successful systems in an economically efficient manner. REEW 2011 provided a platform for the community of practitioners and research experts that are interested in productivity enhancing approaches to requirements engineering. This report describes the workshop results including tactics, practice, and trade-offs for achieving requirements engineering efficiency.

- Variability in a software system is reflected in and facilitated through the architecture of that system. The Third International Workshop on Variability in Software Architecture (VARSA) was held in conjunction with the 11th Working IEEE/IFIP Conference on Software Architecture 2014 in Sydney, Australia. Based on the findings from previous editions of VARSA, this edition aimed at exploring methods, technologies and tools to handle variability at the software architecture level. The workshop featured one industrial keynote talk, one academic keynote talk and five research paper presentations.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The rapid pace with which software needs to be built, together with the increasing need to evaluate changes for end users both quantitatively and qualitatively calls for novel software engineering approaches that focus on short release cycles, continuous deployment and delivery, experiment-driven feature development, feedback from users, and rapid tool-assisted feedback to developers. To realize these approaches there is a need for research and innovation with respect to automation and tooling, and furthermore for research into the organizational changes that support flexible data-driven decision-making in the development lifecycle. Most importantly, deep synergies are needed between software engineers, managers, and data scientists. This paper reports on the results of the joint 5th International Workshop on Rapid Continuous Software Engineering (RCoSE 2019) and the 1st International Workshop on Data-Driven Decisions, Experimentation and Evolution (DDrEE 2019), which focuses on the challenges and potential solutions in the area of continuous data-driven software engineering.
