Several arguments support the proposition that corporations can be viewed as cognitive entities. But accepting that corporations perform cognitive functions raises questions about how we might describe and assess those functions. In this paper I propose ...

Over the years, a substantial body of knowledge of software process improvement (SPI) was accumulated that, among other things, includes numerous success factors that companies should consider when conducting improvement activities. The number of success ...

In large-scale projects operated in regulated environments, standard development processes are employed to meet strict compliance demands. Since such processes are usually complex, providing process users with access to their required process, which ...

In regulation-intensive domains, software engineering organizations need to demonstrate compliance with process and traceability guidelines. To this end, novel approaches have emerged that support these activities via the automatic checking of ...

Post-deployment monitoring (PDM) occurs in the late stages of a DevSecOps (DSO) pipeline. Its role in DSO is critical in providing feedback loops on system performance leading to desirable changes achieving long-term system and application sustainment. ...

In microservice platforms with high number of users and heavy traffic, it is necessary to monitor the system, take quick action against errors and ensure the maintainability of the system. However, debugging on these platforms can take a long time. This ...

Multi-modeling is an approach within the MDE realm that promotes the development of complex systems by decomposing them in sets of heterogeneous models. These models are defined using different modeling languages and constructed using diverse tools. ...

Text-based specifications are the de-facto standard for specifying complex multi-tier systems. For example, 3GPP specifications define various interfaces, messages, and message processing at the multiple inter-connected nodes of a 5G system. These ...

Container live migration is critical to ensure services are not interrupted during host maintenance in data centers. On the other hand, RDMA containerization has attracted both academia and industry for years. However, live migration for containerized ...

RDMA has been widely deployed in production datacenters. The conventional wisdom believes that the intra-host network delivers stable and high performance. However, intra-host resources witness a relative stagnation in technology trends compared to the ...

Communication is pivotal in distributed training and a thorough understanding of its characteristics is essential for future optimizations. However, prior works are limited, either focusing on customized optimizations or conducting incomplete ...

As production scene complexity and CPU core count increase, the performance of software used to interact with the scenes may not scale accordingly. Filament is Animal Logic’s in-house, USD-based, PyQt lighting DCC, and a key area for improving Filament ...

In order to achieve a specific, oil-painting-inspired rendering style, Blender Studio developed a solution based on Blender’s generative geometry and simulation framework “Geometry Nodes”, creating an artist-friendly set of workflows and tools. This ...

Software development and technology teams in studio environments often need to support a complex matrix of applications, versions and dependencies. Existing management tools are not always up to this task, but offer a variety of battle-tested ideas that ...

As games challenge traditional automated white-box test generators, the Neatest approach generates test suites consisting of neural networks that exercise the source code by playing the games. Neatest generates these neural networks using an evolutionary ...

Challenges related to game quality, whether occurring during initial release or after updates, can result in player dissatisfaction, media scrutiny, and potential financial setbacks. These issues may stem from factors like software bugs, performance ...

This research presents a modern framework that combine quantum computing and blockchain technologies to transform city management in provision for the 6G era. Quantum computing is recognized for its extraordinary processing power, while blockchain is ...

This study investigates the challenges associated with the implementation of quantum computing (QC) in the context of 6G technology. It builds upon prior research to explore the pivotal role QC plays in shaping the future landscape of telecommunications. ...

The inherent lack of technologies and knowledge from software developers about the intricacies of quantum physics constitutes a heavy hindrance in the development of correct quantum software. Therefore, quantum computing testing techniques are currently ...

Quantum Computing (QC) is transitioning from theoretical frameworks to an indispensable powerhouse of computational capability, resulting in extensive adoption across both industrial and academic domains. QC presents exceptional advantages, including ...
