Graph generalization is a powerful concept with a wide range of potential applications, while established algorithms exist for generalizing simple graphs, practical approaches for more complex graphs remain elusive. We introduce a novel formal model...

Regulated web systems require traceable, rollback-safe UI delivery, yet conventional static deployments and Boolean flagging struggle to provide per-user versioning, deterministic fallbacks, and audit-grade observability. The objective of this resear...

Organizations increasingly rely on Agile software development to navigate the complexities of digital transformation. Agile emphasizes flexibility, empowerment, and emergent design, yet large-scale initiatives often extend beyond single teams to incl...

The integration of modern artificial intelligence into software systems presents transformative opportunities and novel challenges for software quality assurance (SQA). While AI enables powerful enhancements in testing, monitoring, and defect predict...

Root cause analysis (RCA) identifies the faults and vulnerabilities underlying software failures, informing better design and maintenance decisions. Earlier approaches typically framed RCA as a classification task, predicting coarse categories of roo...

Federated Learning (FL) has emerged as a pivotal paradigm for privacy-preserving machine learning. While numerous FL libraries have been developed to operationalize this paradigm, their rapid proliferation has created a significant challenge for prac...

This study investigates how software developers discuss usability on Stack Overflow through an analysis of posts from 2008 to 2024. Despite recognizing the importance of usability for software success, there is a limited amount of research on develop...

Our goal is to generate restructuring recommendations for research software systems based on software architecture descriptions that were obtained via reverse engineering. We reconstructed these software architectures via static and dynamic analysis...

To ensure adequate skill development, but also competitive advantage as a software engineering organization, initiatives in cybersecurity training is one of several important investment decisions to make for management. This study builds upon three c...

This study investigates how Development and Operations (DevOps) practices impact Project Management Office (PMO) governance within the technology sector of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It addresses the need for agile-aligned governance frameworks...

This paper introduces a variant of the classic Towers of Hanoi (TH) puzzle in which parallel moves—simultaneous transfers of multiple discs—are permitted. The problem is formalized with Generalized Nets (GN), an extension of Petri nets (P...

Context: Modern software systems have become increasingly complex, making it difficult to interpret raw requirements and effectively utilize traditional tools for software design and analysis. Unified Modeling Language (UML) class diagrams are widely...
