Crunch time : The reasons and effects of unpaid overtime in the games industry

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The games industry is notorious for its intense work ethics with uncompensated overtime and weekends at the office, also known as crunch or crunch time. Since crunch time is so common within the industry, is it possible that the benefits of crunch time outweigh the disadvantages? By studying postmortems and conducting interviews with employees in the industry, we aim to characterise crunch time and discover its effects on the industry. We provide a classification of crunch, i.e., four types of crunch which all have distinct characteristics and affect the product, employees and schedule in various ways. One of the crunch types stands out from the others by only having positive effects on product and schedule. A characteristic that all of the types have in common is an increase in stress levels amongst the employees. We identify a set of reasons for crunch and show that crunch is less pronounced in game studios where prioritisation of features is a regular practice.

APP4MC: Application platform project for multi- and many-core systems
- 2017
-
Ingår i: it - Information Technology. - : Walter de Gruyter GmbH. - 2196-7032 .- 1611-2776. ; 59:5

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Since especially the automotive domain increasingly utilizes multi- and many-core systems, appropriate models, analyses, and tooling are required to address challenges that were nearly non existent so far. APP4MC is an open source Eclipse platform that provides AUTOSAR compliant common data models namely AMALTHEA, basic parallelization features, visualizations, and the great possibility to add any existing tooling. For example, Eclipse Capra can be added to provide comprehensive traceability throughout the development processes but any proprietary, commercial, open-source, or prototypical implementations can be integrated. The platform enables the creation and management of complex tool chains including performance simulation and validation. The entire community benefits from reduced hardware costs, faster time to market, higher quality systems, and rapid adoption. APP4MC is not retricted to the automotive domain and utilizable in robotics or generic real-time systems as well.

Challenges of Establishing Traceability in the Automotive Domain
- 2017
-
Ingår i: Software Quality. Complexity and Challenges of Software Engineering in Emerging Technologies. - : Springer International Publishing. - 1865-1348. - 9783319494210

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Traceability, i.e., relationships between artifacts in software development, is prescribed by quality standards such as ISO 26262 and therefore mandatory for automotive companies that develop safety-critical systems. However, establishing traceability is a challenge for many automotive companies. The objective of this study is to identify traceability challenges and solutions in this domain and compare these challenges and solutions with the ones in literature. To achieve this, we conducted a case study with a large automotive supplier to discover their traceability challenges and a tertiary literature review on existing traceability literature surveys to identify reported challenges and their solutions. We found 13 challenges from the literature study, of which ten were also found at the company. Three challenges are solved at the company with solutions that correlate with those proposed in literature, three are partially solved while four are still unsolved even though there are solutions in literature.

No silver brick : Opportunities and limitations of teaching Scrum with Lego workshops
- 2017

Ingår i: Journal of Systems and Software. - : Elsevier BV. - 0164-1212 .- 1873-1228. ; 131, s. 230-247

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Education in Software Engineering has to both teach technical content such as databases and programming but also organisational skills such as team work and project management. While the former can be evaluated from a product perspective, the latter are usually embedded in a Software Engineering process and need to be assessed and adapted throughout their implementation. The in-action property of processes puts a strain on teachers since we cannot be present throughout the students’ work. To address this challenge we have adopted workshops to teach Scrum by building a Lego city in short sprints to focus on the methodological content. In this way we can be present throughout the process and coach the students. We have applied the exercise in six different courses, across five different educational programmes and observed more than 450 participating students. In this paper, we report on our experiences with this approach, based on quantitative data from the students and qualitative data from both students and teachers. We give recommendations for learning opportunities and best practices and discuss the limitations of these workshops in a classroom setting. We also report on how the students transferred their methodological knowledge to software development projects in an academic setting.

The Next Generation of Socio-Technical Systems : Realizing the Potential, Protecting the Value [Introduction]
- 2017
-
Ingår i: IEEE technology & society magazine. - 0278-0097. ; 36, s. 46-47
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The next generation of socio-technical system can be seen as a kind of “focal point” for the convergence of a number of current trends in computing, information systems, and information technology. These trends include the technology-driven instrumentation of infrastructure by ubiquitous computing and/or “intelligent” devices, with the prefix “smart” now taking precedence over the prefix “e-,” i.e., Smart Grids, Smart Cities, Smart Motorways, etc., rather than the e-commerce, e-health, e-learning initiatives commonplace at the turn of millennium.

Proceedings (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th IFIP WG 11.11 International Conference on Trust Management, IFIPTM 2017, held in Gothenburg, Sweden, in June 2017. The 8 revised full papers and 6 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 29 submissions. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: information sharing and personal data; novel sources of trust and trust information; applications of trust; trust metrics; and reputation systems. Also included is the 2017 William Winsborough commemorative address and three short IFIPTM 2017 graduate symposium presentations.
