This shift introduces situations from which organizations may benefit (e.g. highly skilled human resources, development groups closer to client location, etc.); but also introduces challenges to which organizations have to adapt (e.g. coordina- tion difficulties, inadequate knowledge management and communication, and lack of inter-virtual-team trust relation- ships). In this work, we particularly study the lack of timely adequate opportunities for informal interaction, which has been identified as an underpinning foundation to overcome coordination, communication and trust limitations. To achieve this, we introduce and define the concept of Collaborative Working Spheres (CWS), through which developers can obtain information related to the personal activities of their distributed colleagues. CWS allow identifying opportunities for col- laboration in suitable moments both for the one making contact and the one being contacted. We notice that other exam- ples of technologies, including the telephone and instant messaging are used by developers for starting collaboration; however, they do not provide enough information from the personal activity of the person being contacted. We argue that with CWS, software developers will be able to become aware about the status and progress their partners have achieved in some activity, and use this information to inform their starting collaboration. We illustrate this concept with the design of a CWS-based messenger tool that supports Collaborative Working Spheres for Distributed Software Developers. The re- sults of an initial evaluation provide encouraging evidence on the perceived usefulness and ease of use of the proposed CWS-based messenger tool.","PeriodicalId":262856,"journal":{"name":"The Open Software Engineering Journal","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126161729","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}

Software inspections were introduced over 30 years ago as an answer for this need and they have inspired a lot of research covering many different kinds of aspects. There is a need for an up-to-date survey revealing the current state and the overall evolution of the most prominent research on the area. This paper presents a comprehensive survey focusing on the most relevant 16 interna- tional high-impact scientific publication series. There are 153 articles included in the survey covering both technical and management aspects. The main results include a description of the research trends during 1980-2008 and a description of the main results of the included studies. The description is organized based on a taxonomy of the inspection research as having emerged based on the survey. At general level the surveyed research provides clear evidence that inspections gen- erally benefit software development and quality assurance. There are several proposed theoretical variations for the in- spection process but also many empirical studies. Although the conducted research is relatively scattered, proper science- based understanding about some of the most studied issues has been achieved. Our main conclusion is that conducting empirical research needs to be continued in order to validate the effects of the different kinds of proposed theoretical con- structs in practice. Empirical studies are needed especially in order to better understand the proper implementation and the actual impacts of applying inspections in different kinds of industrial and organizational settings.","PeriodicalId":262856,"journal":{"name":"The Open Software Engineering Journal","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133716146","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}

However, when used to characterize the system's behavior through time, including its state, the list of state transitions that the kernel events represent is not sufficient to characterize the state for the entire data acquisition period. The initial operating system state, when tracing starts, is also required. The challenge lies in obtaining a complete snapshot of the initial state, while minimizing the impact on the system being traced. This impact may be in terms of CPU or disk I/O consumption, instrumentation memory, or burst activity at trace start time detrimental to the real-time response. Such impact is especially disturbing on small real-time limited resources embedded systems. In this paper, we will propose an efficient approach to extract such initial state information and discuss the software mod- ule we have developed to provide the aforementioned data to the LTTng tracing tool and its accompanying viewer, LTTV. This module not only improves LTTV's accuracy by providing the initial state of all processes in the system, but also pro- vides an inventory of relevant kernel objects at minimal cost, without increasing noticeably the interrupt latency.","PeriodicalId":262856,"journal":{"name":"The Open Software Engineering Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129032659","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}

An increasingly important quality attribute of complex software systems is adaptability. Software archi- tecture for adaptive software systems should be flexible enough to allow components to change their behaviors depending upon the environmental and stakeholders' changes and goals of the system. Evaluating adaptability at software architec- ture level to identify the weaknesses of the architecture and further to improve adaptability of the architecture are very important tasks for software architects today. Our contribution is an Adaptability Evaluation Method (AEM) that defines, before system implementation, how adaptability requirements can be negotiated and mapped to the architecture, how they can be represented in architectural models, and how the architecture can be evaluated and analyzed in order to validate whether or not the requirements are met. AEM fills the gap from requirements engineering to evaluation and provides an approach for adaptability evaluation at the software architecture level. In this paper AEM is described and validated with a real-world wireless environment control system. Furthermore, adaptability aspects, role of quality attributes, and diversity of adaptability definitions at software architecture level are discussed.","PeriodicalId":262856,"journal":{"name":"The Open Software Engineering Journal","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121593608","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}
