Abstract The rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into software development, driven by large language models (LLMs), is reshaping the role of programmers from traditional coders into strategic collaborators within Industry 4.0 ecosystems. This qualitative study employs a hermeneutic phenomenological approach to explore the lived experiences of Information Technology (IT) professionals as they navigate a dynamic technological landscape marked by intelligent automation, shifting professional identities, and emerging ethical concerns. Findings indicate that developers are actively adapting to AI-augmented environments by engaging in continuous upskilling, prompt engineering, interdisciplinary collaboration, and heightened ethical awareness.

Abstract In recent years, with the rapid development of software systems, the continuous expansion of software scale and the increasing complexity of systems have led to the emergence of a growing number of software metrics. Defect prediction methods based on software metric elements highly rely on software metric data. However, redundant software metric data is not conducive to efficient defect prediction, posing severe challenges to current software defect prediction tasks. To address these issues, this paper focuses on the rational clustering of software metric data. Firstly, multiple software projects are evaluated to determine the preset number… More >

Abstract Quantum software development utilizes quantum phenomena such as superposition and entanglement to address problems that are challenging for classical systems. However, it must also adhere to critical quantum constraints, notably the no-cloning theorem, which prohibits the exact duplication of unknown quantum states and has profound implications for cryptography, secure communication, and error correction. While existing quantum circuit representations implicitly honor such constraints, they lack formal mechanisms for early-stage verification in software design. Addressing this constraint at the design phase is essential to ensure the correctness and reliability of quantum software. This paper presents a formal… More >

Abstract The agility of Internet of Things (IoT) software engineering is benchmarked based on its systematic insights for wide application support infrastructure developments. Such developments are focused on reducing the interfacing complexity with heterogeneous devices through applications. To handle the interfacing complexity problem, this article introduces a Semantic Interfacing Obscuration Model (SIOM) for IoT software-engineered platforms. The interfacing obscuration between heterogeneous devices and application interfaces from the testing to real-time validations is accounted for in this model. Based on the level of obscuration between the infrastructure hardware to the end-user software, the modifications through device replacement, More >

Abstract Agile Transformations are challenging processes for organizations that look to extend the benefits of Agile philosophy and methods beyond software engineering. Despite the impact of these transformations on organizations, they have not been extensively studied in academia. We conducted a study grounded in workshops and interviews with 99 participants from 30 organizations, including organizations undergoing transformations (“final organizations”) and companies supporting these processes (“consultants”). The study aims to understand the motivations, objectives, and factors driving and challenging these transformations. Over 700 responses were collected to the question and categorized into 32 objectives. The findings show More >

Abstract The Message Passing Interface (MPI) is a widely accepted standard for parallel computing on distributed memory systems. However, MPI implementations can contain defects that impact the reliability and performance of parallel applications. Detecting and correcting these defects is crucial, yet there is a lack of published models specifically designed for correcting MPI defects. To address this, we propose a model for detecting and correcting MPI defects (DC_MPI), which aims to detect and correct defects in various types of MPI communication, including blocking point-to-point (BPTP), nonblocking point-to-point (NBPTP), and collective communication (CC). The defects addressed by… More >

Abstract Sentiment analysis is becoming increasingly important in today’s digital age, with social media being a significant source of user-generated content. The development of sentiment lexicons that can support languages other than English is a challenging task, especially for analyzing sentiment analysis in social media reviews. Most existing sentiment analysis systems focus on English, leaving a significant research gap in other languages due to limited resources and tools. This research aims to address this gap by building a sentiment lexicon for local languages, which is then used with a machine learning algorithm for efficient sentiment analysis.… More >

Abstract A measure of the “goodness” or efficiency of the test suite is used to determine the proficiency of a test suite. The appropriateness of the test suite is determined through mutation analysis. Several Finite State Machine (FSM) mutants are produced in mutation analysis by injecting errors against hypotheses. These mutants serve as test subjects for the test suite (TS). The effectiveness of the test suite is proportional to the number of eliminated mutants. The most effective test suite is the one that removes the most significant number of mutants at the optimal time. It is… More >

Abstract Observability and traceability of developed software are crucial to its success in software engineering. Observability is the ability to comprehend a system’s internal state from the outside. Monitoring is used to determine what causes system problems and why. Logs are among the most critical technology to guarantee observability and traceability. Logs are frequently used to investigate software events. In current log technologies, software events are processed independently of each other. Consequently, current logging technologies do not reveal relationships. However, system events do not occur independently of one another. With this perspective, our research has produced… More >
