Computing to Change the World for the Better: A Research-Focused Workshop for Women

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Women's underrepresentation in Computer Science (CS) can be attributed to various factors including lack of self-efficacy, role models, encouragement, awareness of the discipline and existing research pathways. In February 2019, we hosted a Google-sponsored research-focused workshop at California State University, Long Beach to raise female undergraduates' awareness and confidence in CS research pathways and careers. Forty-six students from several universities in Southern California participated in the workshop. Over the course of three days, students worked on research problems with clear real-world applications in teams led by faculty and assisted by graduate students. Additional sessions were held to inspire female undergraduates, increase their confidence and enrich their knowledge about research and graduate programs. In this paper, we report about our experience and the lessons we learned. We also present evidence of success in strengthening the research interests of our participants based on the results of the pre- and post-surveys that were designed and administered by the evaluators of our funding agency (Google Inc.) to better understand the impact of these workshops.

SusAF Welcomes SusApp: Tool Support for the Sustainability Awareness Framework
- 2021
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of the IEEE International Conference on Requirements Engineering. - 2332-6441 .- 1090-705X. ; , s. 418-419

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- As sustainability increasingly gains attention, it has also found its way into the area of software engineering, with a specific emphasis on requirements engineering. The Sustainability Awareness Framework (SusAF) proposed by Duboc et al. supports stakeholders in taking the long view at their software systems in terms of sustainability. In this paper, we propose SusApp, a web-based tool to simplify the application of the SusAF. In particular, it facilitates the documentation and visualization of effects on sustainability. To learn about the users' perception of SusApp, we conducted two small-scale user studies that investigated the tool's usability and usefulness. Overall, the studies showed that the tool was generally perceived positively by the participants. However, shortcomings in the usability became apparent, which have also impacted the perceived usefulness.

Lessons Learned from Developing a Sustainability Awareness Framework for Software Engineering Using Design Science
- 2024

Ingår i: ACM Transactions on Software Engineering and Methodology. - 1049-331X .- 1557-7392. ; 33:5

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- To foster a sustainable society within a sustainable environment, we must dramatically reshape our work and consumption activities, most of which are facilitated through software. Yet, most software engineers hardly consider the effects on the sustainability of the IT products and services they deliver. This issue is exacerbated by a lack of methods and tools for this purpose. Despite the practical need for methods and tools that explicitly support consideration of the effects that IT products and services have on the sustainability of their intended environments, such methods and tools remain largely unavailable. Thus, urgent research is needed to understand how to design such tools for the IT community properly. In this article, we describe our experience using design science to create the Sustainability Awareness Framework (SusAF), which supports software engineers in anticipating and mitigating the potential sustainability effects during system development. More specifically, we identify and present the challenges faced during this process. The challenges that we have faced and addressed in the development of the SusAF are likely to be relevant to others who aim to create methods and tools to integrate sustainability analysis into their IT products and services development. Thus, the lessons learned in SusAF development are shared for the benefit of researchers and other professionals who design tools for that end.

(Research) Insights for Serverless Application Engineering
- 2021
-
Ingår i: IEEE Software. - 1937-4194 .- 0740-7459. ; 38:1, s. 123-125
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The special issue of IEEE Software, the ‘Practitioners Digest’ reports on papers about serverless application engineering from Journal of Systems and Software, the 2020 European Conference on Software Architecture, and the 19th International Conference on Middleware. ‘Function-as-a-Service Performance Evaluation: A Multivocal Literature Review’ by Joel Scheuner and Philipp Leitner describes 112 studies that report the empirical evaluation of the performance of function-as-a-service (FaaS) platforms. FaaS is a form of serverless cloud computing and is de fined as FaaS platform Web Services (AWS) executing event-triggered code snippets. This paper consolidates the results from 61 industrial and 51 academic performance studies and provides actionable recommendations on reproducible FaaS experimentation.
