It includes activities such as identifying, measuring and monitoring risks. The literature presents different approaches to support software risk management. In particular, the researchers popularly used Bayesian Networks because they can be learned from data or elicited from domain experts. Even though the literature presents many Bayesian networks (BN) for software risk management, none focus on technological risk factors. Given this, this paper presents a BN for managing risks of software projects and the results of a static validation performed through a focus group with eight practitioners. As a result, the practitioners agreed that our proposed to manage technological risks of software projects using BN is valuable and easy to use. Given the successful results, we concluded that the proposed solution is promising.","PeriodicalId":252817,"journal":{"name":"Anais do I Workshop Brasileiro de Engenharia de Software Inteligente (ISE 2021)","volume":"145 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124889612","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both model architecture-related variables, such as initial weights and hyperparameters, and general variables, like datasets and framework versions, might impact model metrics and experiment reproducibility. An application cannot be trustworthy if it produces good results only in a specific environment. Therefore, in order to avoid reproducibility issues, some good practices need to be adopted. This paper aims to report a practical experience in developing a machine learning application adopting a workflow that assures the reproducibility of the experiments and, consequently, its reliability, improving the team productivity.","PeriodicalId":252817,"journal":{"name":"Anais do I Workshop Brasileiro de Engenharia de Software Inteligente (ISE 2021)","volume":"110 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117152670","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This process is commonly done through subjective methodologies. Such methodologies can be influenced by interpersonal relationships and susceptible to human error. This paper proposes a quantitative and data-oriented alternative to the process of forming workgroups through the use of a genetic algorithm capable of optimizing collaborator’s abilities and preferences when executing a specific task within a project. As a result, we show that the use of such genetic algorithm is able to create teams similar to the teams assembled by the project managers of companies in the industry of software engineering. Therefore, the ability of genetic algorithm on supporting the process of develoment teams assembly becomes evident.","PeriodicalId":252817,"journal":{"name":"Anais do I Workshop Brasileiro de Engenharia de Software Inteligente (ISE 2021)","volume":"108 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116456766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
