Abstract Energy modelling is the process of using mathematical models to develop abstractions and then seek insights into future energy systems. It can be an abstract academic activity. Or, it insert threads that influence our development. We argue therefore, provides policy support (EMoPS) should not only grounded in rigorous analytics, but also good governance principles. As, together with other actions, accountable. Almost all aspects society much its impact on environment are influenced...
This article explores the adoption of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools within domain software engineering, focusing on influencing factors at individual, technological, and social levels. We applied a convergent mixed-methods approach to offer comprehensive understanding AI dynamics. initially conducted questionnaire survey with 100 engineers, drawing upon Technology Acceptance Model, Diffusion Innovation Theory, Social Cognitive Theory as guiding theoretical frameworks....
Empirical Standards are natural-language models of a scientific community's expectations for specific kind study (e.g. questionnaire survey). The ACM SIGSOFT Paper and Peer Review Quality Initiative generated empirical standards research methods commonly used in software engineering. These living documents, which should be continuously revised to reflect evolving consensus around best practices, will improve quality make peer review more effective, reliable, transparent fair.
The uptake of artificial intelligence-based applications raises concerns about the fairness and transparency AI behaviour. Consequently, Computer Science community calls for involvement general public in design evaluation systems. Assessing individual predictors is an essential step development equitable algorithms. In this study, we evaluate effect two common visualisation techniques (text-based scatterplot) display outcome information (i.e., ground-truth) on perceived predictors. Our...
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced governments worldwide to impose movement restrictions on their citizens. Although critical reducing the virus' reproduction rate, these come with far-reaching social and economic consequences. In this paper, we investigate impact of an individual level among software engineers who were working from home. professionals are accustomed digital tools, but not all them remotely, in day-to-day work, abrupt enforced work-from-home context resulted unprecedented...
Scrum teams are at the heart of framework. Nevertheless, an integrated and systemic theory that can explain what makes some more effective than others is still missing. To address this gap, we performed a 7-year-long mixed-methods investigation composed two main phases. First, induced theoretical model from 13 exploratory field studies. Our proposes effectiveness depends on five high-level factors (responsiveness, stakeholder concern, continuous improvement, team autonomy, management...
Following the onset of COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns, software engineers' daily life was disrupted abruptly forced into remote working from home. This change deeply impacted typical routines, affecting both well-being productivity. Moreover, this will have long-lasting effects in industry, with several tech companies allowing their employees to work home indefinitely if they wish do so. Therefore, it is crucial analyze understand how a day looks like when individual activities...
With the COVID-19 pandemic, Scrum teams had to switch abruptly from a traditional working setting into an enforced home one. This abrupt impact on software projects. Thus, it is necessary understand how potential future disruptive events will Agile teams' ability deliver successful projects while home. To investigate this problem, we used two-phased Multi-Method study. In first phase, uncover impacted practitioners through semi-structured interviews. Then, in second propose theoretical model...
This article systemizes a spectrum of emerging work arrangements for teams, including hybrid partially aligned teams and, more importantly, variegated with fully alternation office presence. Our team typology is based on the practical insights from "Alpha," "InterSoft," Valtech, IBM, Brandwatch, and Ericsson.
This Replicated Computational Results (RCR) report complements the study “Navigating Complexity of Generative AI Adoption in Software Engineering,” which examines factors influencing integration tools software engineering practices. Employing a mixed-methods approach grounded Technology Acceptance Model, Diffusion Innovation Theory, and Social Cognitive introduces Human-AI Collaboration Adaptation Framework (HACAF), validated through PLS-SEM analysis. The replication package detailed herein...
There is a growing body of gender studies in software engineering to understand diversity and inclusion issues, as recognized be key issue healthy teams communities. A second factor often linked team performance personality, which has received far more attention. Very few studies, however, have focused on the intersection these two fields. Hence, we set out study differences personality traits engineers. Through survey collected data, using HEXACO model, 483 The data were analyzed Bayesian...
Organizations are increasingly adopting Agile frameworks for their internal software development. Cost reduction, rapid deployment, requirements and mental model alignment typical reasons an transformation. This article presents in-depth field study of a large-scale transformation in mission-critical environment, where stakeholders’ commitment was critical success factor. The goal such to implement mission-oriented features, reducing costs time operate scenarios. project lasted several years...
As a socio-technical activity, software development involves the close interconnection of people and technology. The integration Large Language Models (LLMs) into this process exemplifies nature development. Although LLMs influence process, remains fundamentally human-centric, necessitating an investigation human factors in adoption. Thus, with study we explore influencing adoption development, focusing on role professionals’ cultural values. Guided by Unified Theory Acceptance Use...
Abstract With solar and wind power generation reaching unprecedented growth rates globally, much research effort has recently gone into a comprehensive mapping of the worldwide potential these variable renewable electricity (VRE) sources. From perspective energy systems analysis, locations with strongest resources may not necessarily be best candidates for investment in new plants, since distance from existing grid road infrastructures temporal variability also matter. To inform planning...
Context: Empirical investigations regarding using Agile programming methodologies in high schools are scarce the literature.
There is considerable anecdotal evidence suggesting that software engineers enjoy engaging in solving puzzles and other cognitive efforts. A tendency to engage effortful thinking referred as a person's 'need for cognition.' In this article we study the relationship between engineers' personality traits their need cognition. Through large-scale sample of 483 respondents collected data capture six 'bright' HEXACO model personality, three 'dark' traits. Data were analyzed using several methods...
Creativity has always been considered a major differentiator to separate the good from great, and we believe importance of creativity for software development will only increase as GenAI becomes embedded in developer tool-chains working practices. This paper uses McLuhan tetrad alongside scenarios how may disrupt more broadly, identify potential impacts have on within development. The are discussed along with future research agenda comprising six connected themes that consider individual...
Information Systems Quality (ISQ) is a critical source of competitive advantages for organizations. In scenario increasing competition on digital services, ISQ differentiation asset. this regard, managing, maintaining, and evolving IT infrastructures have become primary concern Thus, technical perspective provides useful guidance to meet current challenges. The financial sector paradigmatic, since it traditional business, with highly complex business-critical legacy systems, facing...
