SUMMARY:workshop on Business Agility 2.0
DESCRIPTION:This is an invite for a follow-up workshop on ‘Business Agility 2.0: The system architecture and platform dimensions’. \nThe reason for a ‘follow-up’ workshop\, is an agreement made during the workshop we organized on April 21st on the similar topics. The workshop received great attendance we had very good and interesting presentations and discussions. However\, we were not able to cover all the items on the agenda. The request from the group was to have more time for discussing the system architecture and platform dimensions as well as to find a slot for the R&D ways-of-working dimension that we didn’t cover. \nWith this invite\, we propose to continue our discussions on system architecture and platforms (as well as give space for the presentations we were not able to accommodate April 21st). \nAlso\, and if there is time for the third topic (R&D ways-of-working)\, we include this as well. If there is not time for this discussion\, we find a new slot for a workshop in which we focus on only the R&D ways-of-working (in the end of May). \nWe hope this finds you well and that those of you who are interested in continuing the April 21st discussions have the opportunity to join this follow-up workshop. Also\, we hope for those who could not make yesterday’s workshop to be able to join this opportunity. Finally\, we especially invite those companies who were not able to present yesterday due to time limitations\, as well as companies that didn’t attend yesterday but that would be interested in presenting. \nThe questions we shared as the basis for presentations and discussions were the following: \n\nSystem architecture: How do we design decoupling interfaces between the different technologies in the system (mechanics – electronics – software – data – AI) in order to allow for independent evolution on both sides of the interface?\nPlatform: How do we manage and/or reduce the number of variants derived from the platform in order to support continuous evolution of the system?\nR&D ways-of-working: How do we align the R&D ways-of-working with the transition we currently experience in business models (where we are moving from transactional to more continuous monetization)? For example\, to be able to experiment with new business models\, the R&D ways-of-working need to support/enable this. Similarly\, if complementing transactional models with more continuous models for monetization\, R&D needs to align with this transition.\n\nIdeally\, we ask you to prepare 1 – 2 slides that can be shared with everyone during the meeting (we look for short presentations of 8 – 10 minutes/company). Please note that what we look for are your current ways-of-working and your current practices with regard to the three questions. It can also be the challenges you experience and how you typically deal with these. The main intention is to have everyone share and involve in a discussion where the result is to learn\, to get ideas and to together identify common best practices for improving overall business agility. \nMost welcome – and please help us share this within your organizations as we are eager to offer this opportunity to everyone who attended already and to people who might be interested but didn’t yet attend.

SUMMARY:Lunch seminar: Collaborative Traceability
DESCRIPTION:’Collaborative Traceability — Nine practices and why they (don’t) work’ \nMost welcome to the next Software Center Brown Bag seminar on May 17th. It is hosted by theme 4 (‘Customer Data and Ecosystem Driven Development’) and our speaker is Jan-Philipp Steghöfer\, Chalmers/University of Gothenburg. \nAbstract:\nTraceability information connects the artifacts created in a development process and allows\, i.a.\, analysing the impact of changes\, showing that all requirements are tested\, and creating safety cases. However\, traceability is elusive as it is\, and treating it as a collaborative issue increases the complexity. \nWe have\, together with practitioners\, identified nine crucial collaborative traceability practices that support an organisation in implementing traceability in their development processes. These practices range from the practical\, e.g.\, traceability dashboard\, to the organisational\, e.g.\, to have specific training for traceability. What is still unclear is why these practices are not always implemented\, how to select the ones that are most promising for an organisation\, and how organisations can adapt them to their own circumstances. \nIn this talk\, we are going to discuss the challenges of collaborative traceability and which role the nine practices for collaborative traceability play to address them. We will dive into one of them\, a cross-organisational traceability information model\, to show some of the challenges we see in practice. The presentation will leave ample room for discussion and allow you\, the audience\, to help shape our understanding of this elusive\, yet important topic. \nLink to the recorded presentation on YouTube:\nhttps://youtu.be/AjfsRo8plvA \n

SUMMARY:Lunch seminar: Understanding Metrics Team-Stakeholder Communication
DESCRIPTION:Software Center lunch seminar organized by Theme 3\, Metrics: \nTitle: Understanding Metrics Team-Stakeholder Communication  \nAbstract: In our study\, we explore challenges in communication between metrics teams and stakeholders in agile metrics service delivery. Drawing on interviews and interactive workshops with team members and stakeholders at two different Swedish software development organizations\, we identify interrelated challenges such as aligning expectations\, prioritizing demands\, providing regular feedback\, and maintaining continuous dialogue\, which impede team-stakeholder interaction\, and negatively influence relationships and performance. In the session we will discuss the importance of understanding communicative hurdles and suggestions for their mitigation. \nSpeakers:\nDr. Nataliya Berbyuk Lindström\, Associate Professor\, University of Gothenburg\nDr. Dina Koutsikouri\, Associate Professor\, University of Gothenburg \nLink to the recorded presentation on YouTube:\nhttps://youtu.be/nVCTxo81wEM \n

SUMMARY:Lunch seminar: How to Fail at Continuous Practices
DESCRIPTION:Most welcome to the next Brown Bag Seminar\, hosted by Theme 1 (“Continuous Delivery”): \nSpeaker: Daniel Ståhl \nWe have all read the books\, watched the movies and listened to the talks telling us how to succeed at continuous integration\, continuous delivery and all things continuous. By all rights\, this would seem to be a solved problem – and yet… \nIn this brown bag seminar we turn the tables on the standard conversation and consider the ways in which we can properly and thoroughly fail at continuous practices. All based on research and experience\, with a tiny bit of interpretation mixed in. \nMost welcome and please help us share this invite within your organizations!

SUMMARY:Lunch seminar: Data Labeling
DESCRIPTION:Data Labeling: Industrial Challenges and Mitigation Strategies \nLabels are a prerequisite to perform supervised machine learning. However\, in industrial contexts\, data is often incomplete because labels are missing partially or entirely. Even if there exist manual\, semi-automatic\, and automatic techniques\, such as crowdsourcing\, active-learning (AL)\, and semi-supervised learning (SSL)\, we have seen that AL and SSL are rarely implemented due to lack of knowledge of their existence. Furthermore\, labeling instances manually is not optimal as it is time-consuming and challenging to maintain the quality of the labels due to the human factor. Crowdsourcing has its merits\, but it also includes sharing potentially sensitive data with third-party organizations\, which is not an option for many companies. In this talk\, we will discuss data labeling challenges and mitigation strategies based on the research conducted so far and how we wish to push it forward in the future. \nSpeaker: Teodor Fredriksson\, Chalmers \n

SUMMARY:Lunch seminar: From operational data to business insights
DESCRIPTION:From operational data to business insights: It’s as much about mindset as it is about data \nSpeaker: Iris Figalist (works as a Platform & Data Architect at Siemens\, Munich and is also an industrial PhD student. \nAbstract: “It’s all about data” has become a common saying to strengthen the power it has in today’s world. Many software-intensive companies have started to collect operational data of their products deployed in production. However\, this data is not worth anything if you cannot make actual use of it. This talk covers our experiences and challenges at Siemens in using operational data to generate insights for business functions like product management or sales. A few real-world examples will be shared to highlight the technical and B2B-specific challenges as well as the collaboration and communication with business stakeholders.

SUMMARY:Lunch seminar: Test Case Selection In The Presence of Class Noise: A Controlled Experiment
DESCRIPTION:Theme 3 (Metrics) invites to the next brown bag seminar about the machine learning-related topics. This week we have Khaled Al-Sabbagh presenting his work on the reduction of class noise. \nMachine learning models have been increasingly used to support decision making in software engineering tasks. One example of its application is the optimization of test case selection in continuous integration. Among the challenges that hinders the application of machine learning is the amount of noise that comes in the data\, which often leads to a decrease in classification performances. For this reason\, we examine the impact of one type of noise\, called class noise\, on a learner’s ability for selecting test cases. Understanding the impact of class noise on the performance of a learner for test case selection would assist testers decide on the appropriateness of different noise handling strategies. The results show a statistically significant relationship between class noise and the learner’s performance for test case selection. We conclude that higher class noise in training data leads to missing out more tests in the predicted subset of test suite and increases the rate of false alarms when the level of class noise exceeds 30%. \nLink to the recorded presentation on YouTube:\nhttps://youtu.be/wua_v-K-z34 \n

SUMMARY:Lunch seminar: Checking the Checkers - Empirical Evaluation of Static Analysis Tools on Testware
DESCRIPTION:Software systems are typically divided into production code and test-related code\, which have been held to different standards w.r.t. enforcing their respective quality. In recent years\, test code quality issues have gained traction\, for instance in their relationship to test flakiness. During discussions with industry\, despite access to several types of static analysis tools\, these are not generally applied to tests with regularity. \nIn this ongoing work\, we investigate a set of existing static analysis tools applied on test code (test framework and test cases)\, for the purpose of analyzing their suitability for discovering issues in test code. We will present the evaluation framework and some early findings from open-source projects. \nSpeaker: Jean Malm\, MdH \nLink to the recorded presentation >>

SUMMARY:Lunch seminar: Supporting Migration of Software to Heterogeneous Platforms
DESCRIPTION:You are very welcome to the March 8 brownbag seminar organized by the AI engineering theme in Software Center. This time our speaker is Hugo Sica de Andrade. \nAbstract:\nThe requirements for performance continue to increase in computer systems across several domains. Particularly in artificial intelligence applications\, several workloads require large amounts of memory\, parallel computing\, and low-precision computation. One of the most prominent ways of fulfilling these performance requirements is through heterogeneous computing\, i.e.\, using hardware containing more than one type of processor\, such as a combination of CPUs\, GPUs and FPGAs. This approach has shown to deliver faster execution times and lower energy consumption in several different domains by allowing data to be assigned to processors that are specialized in them. \nAdopting this technology\, however\, requires several changes to a software engineering process that is originally implemented for execution on CPUs. In addition to changes in the code\, which must be refactored targeting hardware architectures are inherently different\, there is a variety of aspects that must be observed in order to successfully deploy the solution on heterogeneous platforms. \nThis talk presents the studies we conducted in both academia and industrial contexts in the topic of software engineering for heterogeneous platforms. First\, we introduce the concerns and the existing approaches in academia to implement the technology. Then\, we discuss the challenges identified in industry in migrating CPU-targeted software to heterogeneous platforms. Finally\, we propose a decision framework that guides engineers in the process of migrating software to heterogeneous platforms. \nLink to the recorded presentation >> \n

SUMMARY:Lunch seminar: Bird\, fish or in between: Value modeling as a technique to help you align your business KPIs
DESCRIPTION:Most welcome to next week’s Brown Bag seminar (March 1st) hosted by Software Center theme 4: ‘Customer Data and Ecosystem Driven Development’. \nOur speaker is Helena H. Olsson\, Malmö University. \n  \nTitle: “Bird\, fish or in between: Value modeling as a technique to help you align your business KPIs”\n \nAbstract:\n \nData driven and experimental development practices provide effective means for companies to adopt a customer and market-centric way-of-working. In online companies\, controlled experimentation is the primary technique to measure how customers respond to variants of deployed software. Over the recent years\, and due to increasing connectivity and data collection from products in the field\, these practices are being adopted also in software-intensive embedded systems companies. In these companies\, experiments are run on selected instances of the system or as comparisons of previously computed data to ensure value delivery to customers\, to improve quality and to explore new value propositions. \nHowever\, to utilize the benefits of data-driven and experimental development practices\, companies need to define what value factors to optimize for. What is it really you seek to improve? And how do we ensure that what teams do at a feature level aligns with\, and contributes to\, the overall business goals we seek to achieve? For highly complex embedded systems with thousands of parameters\, and with people at different levels in the organization having different opinions about the value of features\, this has proven to be a very challenging task. \nThis talk presents our research on how value modeling helps identify and align feature\, system and business KPIs in an organization. In addition\, it describes the scope of value modeling and the purposes for which the technique can be effectively used. Finally\, the talk identifies the key challenges that companies experience and that we seek to address in our on-going research on this topic. \nMost welcome and please help us share this invite with your colleagues!\n \nRegards\, \nHelena \n  \n\nMicrosoft Teams meeting\n\nJoin on your computer or mobile app\nClick here to join the meeting\nLearn More | Meeting options

SUMMARY:Lunch seminar: “There\, but what about Back Again? – Propagating manual modifications from generated code to the design model”
DESCRIPTION:Title: “There\, but what about Back Again? – Propagating manual modifications from generated code to the design model” \nSpeaker: Robbert Jongeling\, MDH \nAbstract:\nIn one of its forms\, model-based development brings the benefit of complete code generation from design models. The generated code may be subject to manual changes for several reasons\, such as fixing errors after code-level testing\, or adjusting the code for different variants of targeted hardware. As a consequence of these manual changes\, the consistency between the design model and code is likely lost. To ensure the maintainability of the model and code\, this consistency must be restored. In particular\, the manual changes to the generated code must be reflected in the design model too\, i.e.\, the model-code round-trip should be completed. In this talk\, we share our experiences of developing an approach and implementing a prototype solution for completing a model-code round-trip in an industrial setting where code generation is already established. \nLink to the recorded presentations >>

SUMMARY:Lunch seminar: Optimized Scheduling of Feature-Based Test Execution
DESCRIPTION:As test suites grow larger and more complex\, the time and resources required to execute the test suite also grows accordingly. This is particularly true for companies developing diverse product lines\, who must execute portions of the test suite on compatible hardware units with the features required by those test cases. We have recently begun to explore the topic of how to efficiently parallelize the execution of test cases across a pool of available hardware units. We propose a search-based test scheduling method that attempts to optimize the estimated execution time and utilization of the hardware pool. In this talk\, we will present our initial ideas\, the results from an early pilot study\, and our plans to integrate this approach into the test execution infrastructure at a Software Center partner company. \nSpeaker: Gregory Gay \nSlides \nAudio file

SUMMARY:Lunch seminar: Privacy-aware machine learning method: Federated Learning
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Hongyi Zhang\, PhD student\, Chalmers \nFederated Learning is an improved Machine Learning approach which enables edge devices to collaboratively learn a shared machine learning model. The data exchanged between the edge and central server are no longer user data but the updated model weights. Furthermore\, as this model training method is distributed\, there are chances to make the model become smarter and adapt to their environment. (For example\, devices in Malmö and Stockholm can have slightly different models based on their unique environment.) Due to the rapid increase of data collected on the edge\, it will become more expensive to gather data into a centralized server or cloud. Machine learning with distributed edge training will be the main approach for future AI engineering. This is also why Federated Learning is essential to industries. \nAdvantages of Federated Learning: \n\nPrivacy-Preserving\nNo need to send training data to a cloud or single server\nFast model deployment and evolution\nLow latency and efficient bandwidth utilization\n\nThere is a classic deployment from Google\, where they deployed Federated Learning in Gboard (A Mobile App) to collaboratively train models for improving keyboard query and predicting emoji. \nIn the software center\, we made close collaboration with industries. With Volvo Cars\, we validated Federated Learning in various industrial cases\, such as steering wheel angle prediction\, objective recognition\, etc. We have proved the efficiency of FL and further improved the technique by introducing asynchronous protocols for heterogeneous hardware settings in real-world cases. With Sahlgrenska University Hospital\, we are trying to help them estimate their resource allocation in a distributed manner and investigate the methods to continuously enhance the data privacy and security when applying machine learning in the medical health care field. \nAs the next step of our research\, we would like to investigate the possibility of Federated Learning with various industrial scenarios. We will try to adding autonomously improving mechanism into participated nodes to enhance the model quality and node autonomy. We are eager to collaborate with companies to help them accelerate and improve system autonomy of their machine learning procedure. \n__________________________________________________ \nMicrosoft Teams meeting \nJoin on your computer or mobile app\n \nClick here to join the meeting \n

SUMMARY:Sprint 20 kick-off workshop for project 5 and 9
DESCRIPTION:Most welcome to the sprint 20 kick-off workshop for project 5 (‘Accelerating Digitalization Through Data’) and project 9 (‘Strategic Ecosystem Driven R&D Management’). \nIn both projects\, we have had very rewarding collaborations and a number of different research activities related to digital transformation and the implications of this. As two primary topics of interest\, we explored digital business models and data monetization. In addition\, we complemented our work on value modeling of features and products with the topic of business agility. We presented ‘Business Agility 2.0’ and what we see companies need in order to achieve continuous delivery and improvement of value. \nIn addition to the research project activities\, we organized three PdM community workshops on topics closely related to the research projects. In sprint 20\, we plan to continue this workshop series and we will share separate invites for these. \nFor the sprint kick-off\, we plan a two-hour workshop were we present each project and the activities we plan for sprint 20. For each project\, and after a short project presentation\, we engage in a group discussion where we also look to identify those companies that are interested in active participation and collaboration during the sprint. \nAgenda: \n\n11:00 – 12:00: Project 5 (‘Accelerating Digitalization Through Data’)\n12:00 – 13:00: Project 9 (‘Strategic Ecosystem Driven R&D Management’)\n\nYou are most welcome to the workshop and we also ask you to please help us forward this invite to colleagues that you think might have an interest in one or both of these projects. You can join for the full workshop or only dial in for one of the projects. The workshop is virtual and the Microsoft Teams link can be found in the end of this invite. \nWe look forward to see you and to kick off what we hope will be another great sprint. \nFor any questions\, please contact helena.holmstrom.olsson@mau.se  \nLink to the meeting in MS Teams

SUMMARY:Cybersecurity standards and their industry applications – A telecom industry example
DESCRIPTION:The mobile networks are playing a central role in our society by serving close to 8 billion subscriptions worldwide.  These networks are parts of national critical infrastructure in many countries. Security is an important aspect for these networks where a minor interruption may result in major impacts on individuals\, governments\, and organizations.  \nSecurity standards are one of the existing approaches to protect mobile networks and their users through commonly agreed\, tested\, verified\, and updated solutions according to best common practices.  \nNational Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) Cyber Security Framework and the ISO 27001 Information Security Standard are two of existing standards having industry-leading approaches to security. \nIn this seminar\, we will go through these two standards and provide a high-level comparison between them\, an overview of how they can be used by vendors\, and an example application to mobile networks \nSpeaker: Shanai Ardi\, Ericsson and PhD student at Linköping university \nThis is an open lunch seminar that is not within any SWC project\, but might be of interest to some of the members.
