Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In pursuit of effective service level agreement (SLA) monitoring and enforcement in the context of Internet of Things (IoT) applications, this article regards SLA management as a distrusted process that should not be handled by a single authority. Here, we aim to justify our view on the matter and propose a conceptual blockchain-based framework to cope with some limitations associated with traditional SLA management approaches.

- Attracting and retaining IT talent remains challenging for IT ecutives. The limited supply of highly skilled candidates, combined th high workforce mobility, results in considerable hiring, training, d developing costs. To help IT employers overcome these challenges, e authors discuss employer branding as one strategy to manage firms' putations as "great places to work." Based on a content analysis of arly 15 000 employee reviews, this article identifies and describes ght values that IT professionals care about when evaluating IT ployers, highlights which values are most important, and provides commendations for how IT firms can use employer brand intelligence to tract and retain IT talent to remain competitive.

How Companies Use OSS Tools Ecosystems for Open Innovation
- 2019

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Moving toward the open innovation (OI) model requires multifaceted transformations within companies. It often involves giving away the tools for product development or sharing future product directions with open tools ecosystems. Moving from the traditional closed innovation model toward an OI model for software development tools shows the potential to increase software development competence and efficiency of organizations. We report a case study in software-intensive company developing embedded devices (e.g., smartphones) followed by a survey in OSS communities such as Gerrit, Git, and Jenkins. The studied branch focuses on developing Android phones. This paper presents contribution strategies and triggers for openness. These strategies include avoid forking OSS tools, empower developers to participate in the ecosystem, steer ecosystems through contributions, create business through differentiation, and create new ecosystems. The triggers of openness are from 30 different companies with examples. Finally, openness requires a cultural change aligned with strategies and business models. © 1999-2012 IEEE.

Failure Monitoring in the Internet of Things Application Ecosystems
- 2016
-
Ingår i: IT Professional Magazine. - : IEEE. - 1520-9202 .- 1941-045X. ; 18:5, s. 8-11
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- For Internet of Things (IoT) application ecosystems to excel, end-to-end components including the cloud, network, and edge devices must be highly dependable and resilient. This dependability must be verifiable by continuously monitoring the constituent components for conformance to defined behavior in terms of functional and nonfunctional requirements. However, the authors contend that current techniques and frameworks for monitoring the performance of hardware and application resources in distributed systems are not capable of monitoring and detecting root causes of failure and performance degradation for entire end-to-end IoT ecosystems. Motivated by this finding, they discuss their vision of future research into developing formal approaches for monitoring end-to-end IoT ecosystems.
