A framework for gamification in software engineering

Software Engineering Foundations

A groundbreaking book in this field, Software Engineering Foundations: A Software Science Perspective integrates the latest research, methodologies, and their applications into a unified theoretical framework. Based on the author's 30 years...

Metamodelling for software engineering

This book focuses on metamodelling as a discipline, exploring its foundations, techniques and results. It presents a comprehensive metamodel that covers process, product and quality issues under a common framework. Issues covered include: *...

Value-based software engineering

Much of current software engineering practice and research is done in a value-neutral setting, in which every requirement, use case, object, and defect is treated as equally important; methods are presented and practiced as largely logical ...

Default Detection Rate-Dependent Software Reliability Model with Imperfect Debugging

From the perspective of FDR (fault detection rate), which is an indispensable component in reliability modeling, this paper proposes two kinds of reliability models under imperfect debugging. This model is a relatively flexible and unified ...

Logics of Statements in Context-Category Independent Basics

Based on a formalization of open formulas as statements in context, the paper presents a freshly new and abstract view of logics and specification formalisms. Generalizing concepts like sets of generators in Group Theory, underlying graph o...

Nonlinear Dynamics of Swinging Clapper Bells under Arbitrary or Resonant Forcing Functions

Study of swinging clapper bells involves aspects encompassing sound and acoustic engineering, mechanical engineering, and structural engineering. From the musical point of view, clapper bells are directly played idiophone instruments, where...

A Scalable Real-Time SDN-Based MQTT Framework for Industrial Applications

The increasing prominence of concepts such as Smart Production and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) within the context of Industry 4.0 has introduced a new set of requirements for the engineering of industrial systems, including support...

Software engineering economics

This work aims to shed light on an important topic that has begun to emerge in recent years, which is the economics of software engineering as a basic pillar in national development and confronting the competitive market challenges that cha...

Supporting engagement, behavior change, and equitable self-management in menstrual and menopausal health: A multi-agent digital-health framework.

Comparative Study of Properties and Cytotoxicity of Eco-Friendly AgInS(2), CuInS(2), and ZnIn(2)S(4) Quantum Dots under a Unified Experimental Framework.

Deep learning and metaheuristic optimization for predicting drug release from nanocarrier systems: a data-driven framework for formulation development.

An agentic framework for gravitational-wave counterpart association in the multi-messenger era.

On the Dual Nature of Atmospheric Escape

Planetary atmospheres cannot remain hydrostatic at all altitudes because they approach finite density at infinite radius, implying infinite mass. Classical treatments address this in two directions: either retain a hydrostatic structure whi...

D-brane and exponential potentials inspire warm inflation and swampland conjecture

This research explores the rapid expansion period of the early universe by applying the Chaplygin gas model, an alternative cosmological framework, to analyze the dynamics of inflationary processes. This study assesses the compatibility of ...

Sturm-Liouville BVPs with Caratheodory nonlinearities

In this article we study the existence and multiplicity of solutions for several classes of Sturm-Liouville boundary value problems having Caratheodory nonlinearities. Many results existing in the literature for such boundary value probl...

Ligand-assisted facile Co(2+)/Co(3+) conversion in a metal-hydroxide framework promotes electrochemical benzyl alcohol oxidation at ampere-scale current density.

A <italic>&#x03BC;</italic>-Synthesis Framework for Multi-Domain Robust Load Frequency Control Under Concurrent Communication Delays and Parametric Uncertainties

The integration of communication networks into modern power systems introduces variable time delays that degrade the performance of traditional Load Frequency Control (LFC), while the shift towards renewable energy sources increases system ...

Capacity Optimization and Rolling Scheduling of Offshore Multi-Energy Coupling Systems

Increasing penetration of offshore renewable energy has highlighted the challenges posed by strong intermittency, output uncertainty, and insufficient utilization of marine energy resources. To address these issues, this study investigates ...

Critical analysis of the new European framework for non-fossil flexibility and the questions left unanswered.
