Systematic Literature Reviews (SLRs) are a widely employed research method in software engineering. However, there several problems with SLRs, including the enormous time and effort to conduct them lack of obvious impacts SLR results on engineering practices industry projects. To address these problems, concepts \textit{sustainability} \textit{sustainable SLR} have been proposed, aiming raise awareness among researchers about importance dealing consistent way; however, practical concrete...

Reference architectures have emerged as a special type of software architecture that achieves well-recognized understanding specific domains, promoting reuse design expertise and facilitating the development, standardization, evolution systems. Designed for various domains purpose, they increasingly impacted important aspects system such productivity quality However, reference been sometimes established without an adequate concern about which elements should encompass. Besides that, there is...

Reference architectures have emerged as a special type of software architecture that achieves well-recognized understanding specific domains, promoting reuse design expertise and facilitating the development, standardization, evolution systems. Because their advantages, several reference been proposed also successfully used, including in industry. However, most these are still built using an ad-hoc approach, lacking systematization to construction. If existing, approaches could motivate...

Software Engineering (SE) is an important topic to be taught in Computer Science courses. However, teaching of theoretical concepts with no link their practical applications or examples the student's context may discourage learning, justifying why and learning are great challenges education universities. In attempt bridge such gap, several approaches have been proposed applied improve SE as project based (PBL), a well-known approach already teach SE. Nevertheless, there's lack understanding...

Currently, software systems have become increasingly large and complex, often resulted by the integration of several operationally independent systems, resulting in a new class systems: Systems (SoS). In another perspective, architectures play major role determining system quality, since they form backbone any successful software-intensive system. Attention given to SoS is also certainly fundamental success such systems. However, it observed that there lack works present wide and, at same...

Software architectures have been recognized as the backbone to success of any software system. In addition, they are responsible aggregate quality attributes, such interoperability, dependability, and maintainability, these systems. parallel, currently, a new class complex systems has emerged, referred Systems (SoS), resulting from number operationally managerially independent working together fulfill mission that none system alone could provide. Considering their complexity, development SoS...

Managing technical debt (TD) is essential for maintaining long-term software projects. Nonetheless, the time and cost involved in management (TDM) are often high, which may lead practitioners to omit TDM tasks. The adoption of tools, particularly usage automated solutions, can potentially reduce time, cost, effort involved. However, tools remains low, indicating need further research on automation. To address this problem, study aims at understanding activities discussing with respect...

The rapid evolution of Industry 4.0 has brought forth transformative changes in manufacturing, accentuating the need for seamless interoperability among heterogeneous systems. However, geographically distributed and decentralized nature ecosystems presents a pressing challenge: ensuring trustworthy within complex web entities intermediaries. This paper delves into pivotal role blockchain technology addressing this challenge, aiming to bridge gap between theoretical promises practical...

The use of software reference architectures plays a fundamental role in development, as it could bring several benefits such providing means to design applications' with higher productivity and quality. However, many organizations still find scarce the existing empirical evidence about drawbacks architectures. Organizations need make informed decisions whether or not adopt architecture for development maintenance applications. In this context, paper aims gather on AUTOSAR, mature accepted...

Systems-of-systems (SoS) are alliances of independent and interoperable software-intensive systems. SoS often support critical domains, being required to exhibit a reliable operation, specially because people's safety relies on their services. In this direction, simulations enable the validation different operational scenarios in controlled environment, allowing benchmarking its response as well revealing possible breaches that could lead failures. However, traditionally manual, demanding...

Abstract Systems-of-Systems (SoS) combine heterogeneous, independent systems to offer complex functionalities for highly dynamic smart applications. Besides their architecture with continuous changes at runtime, SoS should be reliable and work without interrupting operation no failures that could cause accidents or losses. architectural design facilitate the prediction of impact potential due behavior. However, existing approaches do not support such evaluation. Hence, these have been...

Software-intensive systems have become increasingly large and complex new techniques methodologies are necessary to deal with such complexity. Model-Driven Development (MDD) has been used scenarios, since software models, despite details, facilitate the visualization of whole. Moreover, MDD widely recognized as a way assure quality, reducing time effort, making possible automatic transformation models generate source code. In this direction, software-intensive Systems-of-Systems (SoS) is...

Context: In order to preserve the value of Systematic Reviews (SRs), they should be frequently updated considering new evidence that has been produced since completion previous version reviews. However, update an SR is a time consuming, manual task. Thus, many SRs have not as and, therefore, are currently outdated. Objective: The main contribution this paper support SRs. Method: We propose USR-VTM, approach based on Visual Text Mining (VTM) techniques, selection in form primary studies. then...
