Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Traditional process-centric software development has served software-intensive companies well for decades. During recent years, however, the trends of increased adoption of software product lines, software ecosystems and in particular global software engineering have lead to unmanageable complexity and unacceptable overhead. In this paper we present research performed at three global companies in which we studied the relation be-tween large-scale and agile approaches to software development as well as current problems. In addition, by integrating the best practices adopted at the case study companies, we present an alternative approach: architecture-centric software engineering. This approach largely removes inter-team dependencies and provides much higher efficiency and productivity in global software development contexts.

- The growing importance of software ecosystems and open innovation requires that companies become more intentional about aligning their internal strategy, architecture and organizing efforts with the ecosystem that the company is part of. Few models exist that facilitate analysis and improvement of this alignment. In this paper, we present the ESAO model and describe its six main components. Organizations and researchers can use the model to analyze the alignment between the different parts of their business, technologies and ways of working, internally and in the ecosystem. The model is illustrated and validated through the use of three case studies.

From Integration to Composition: On the Impact of Software Product Lines, Global Development and Ecosystems
- 2010
-
Ingår i: Journal of Systems and Software. - : Elsevier BV. - 0164-1212. ; 83, s. 67-76
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Three trends accelerate the increase in complexity of large-scale software development, i.e. software product lines, global development and software ecosystems. For the case study companies we studied, these trends caused several problems, which are organized around architecture, process and organization, and the problems are related to the efficiency and effectiveness of software development as these companies used too integration-centric approaches. We present five approaches to software development, organized from integration-centric to composition-oriented and describe the areas of applicability.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The ability to rapidly respond to customer interest and to effectively prioritize development effort has beena long-standing challenge for mass-market software intensive products. This problem is exacerbated in thecontext of software product lines as functionality may easily fall over software asset and organizationalboundaries with consequent losses in efficiency and nimbleness. Some companies facing these problemsin their product line respond with a new development process. In this paper we discuss the developmentswithin a single case study, Intuit’s Quickbooks product line that combined agile software development,design thinking and self-organizing teams in a successful approach, which provided a significant improvementin terms of responsiveness and accuracy of building customer value.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Effective collaboration in software engineering is very important and yet increasingly complicated by trends that increase complexity of dependencies between software development teams and organizations. These trends include the increasing adoption of software product lines, the globalization of software engineering and the increasing use of and reliance on 3rd party developers in the context of software ecosystems. Based on action research, the paper discusses problems of in effective collaboration and success-factors of five approaches to collaboration in large-scale software engineering.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In strategic management, the term meta-organisation is discussed as a network of firms and individuals in which members coexist, collaborate and evolve through a set of relationships and together form a larger organism.We focus on the meta-organisation form of an ecosystem in the IT industry, which often is based around a technical architecture or platform. Studies often discuss one network and selected members in such a network, but few mention that firms can work in multiple ecosystems and need to apply divergent engagement models. We study how firms engage in multiple ecosystems through three qualitative case studies. The article contributes with the following: (1) firms often operate in multiple ecosystems for which they need to dynamically adapt their engagement strategy. (2) Firms are striving to balance between strategic divergences: power versus symbiosis and a collaborative approach versus a competitive approach.

User Involvement throughout the Innovation Process in High-Tech Industries
- 2015

Ingår i: Journal of Product Innovation Management. - : Wiley. - 0737-6782 .- 1540-5885. ; 32:5, s. 793-807

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The feedback and input of users have been an important part of product innovation in recent years. User input has been studied from different approaches and is applied through different methods in particular phases of the innovation process. However, these methods are not integrated into the whole innovation process and are used only in particular phases or on an ad hoc basis. New developments in technology, social media, and new ways of working closer with customers have opened up new possibilities for firms to gain user input throughout the whole innovation process. However, the impact that these new developments in technology offer for user input innovation in high-tech firms is unclear. Therefore, we study how high-tech firms collect and apply user feedback throughout the whole innovation process. The paper is based on a comparative case study of eight cases in the high-tech industry, in which qualitative data collection was applied. The key contribution of the paper is a conceptual framework on user data-driven innovation throughout the innovation cycle. This framework gives insight into user involvement types and approaches to collect and apply user feedback throughout the innovation process.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Responsible for 1/5 of the total CO2-equivalents emissions and 50% of the materials resources used globally, the construction industry plays a vital role for a sustainable future. All parties in the construction industry address the challenge from their perspective and national transport administrations are often considered as the driver toward a fossil free industry. In this study, three Swedish infrastructure projects are studied by means of interviews, focusing on the usage and acceptance of the recently implemented climate estimation process. From the interviews, it is found that currently there is a lack of knowledge regarding climate estimations among bridge and environmental specialists as well as project managers. To address this challenge, it is important to educate the industry and increase the knowledge about climate estimations and declarations as well as inform which actions have the largest impact to reduce the CO2-equivalents emissions.

Important parameters for increased productivity in bridge design and production
- 2022
-
Ingår i: IABSE Congress Nanjing 2022 - Bridges and Structures: Connection, Integration and Harmonisation, Report. ; , s. 80-88
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- There is great potential for increased productivity in the production of bridges in terms of optimizing material use, time and cost for design and production. Hence, the environmental impact and cost can be optimized. To find out how standardisation of parts of bridges and which parameters are of most importance for increased productivity in the production of bridges, a quantitate study was performed on the Swedish bridge construction industry. The questionnaire received 151 responses. The results show in which aspects and parameters the industry’s three major actors – engineers, contractors, and clients – see greatest potential in order to increase the productivity. By standardising parts in bridges, there is great potential in making the construction of bridges more productive.
