Lean Internal Startups for Software Product Innovation in Large Companies: Enablers and Inhibitors

This study investigates how Lean internal startup facilitates software product innovation in large companies and identifies its enablers and inhibitors, and shows the potential of the method-in-action framework to investigate the Lean startup approach in non-startup context.

The Key Concepts of Ethics of Artificial Intelligence

It is suggested that the focus on finding keywords is the first step in guiding and providing direction for future research in the AI ethics field.

Software startup education: gamifying growth hacking

This work presents two board games intended to serve as an engaging introduction to growth hacking for students and helps spark interest in growth hacking among the academia.

Agile Software Development Methods: A Comparative Review1

The results show that agile software development methods cover, without offering any rationale, different phases of the software development life-cycle and that most of these methods fail to provide adequate project management support.

Exploring Virtual Reality as an Integrated Development Environment for Cyber-Physical Systems

Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) development approaches tend to start from the physical (hardware) perspective, and the software is the final element in the process. However, this approach is unfit for the more software-intensive world that is increasingly iterative, connected, and constantly online. Many constraints preve...

Containers in Software Development: A Systematic Mapping Study

Containers are most often discussed in the context of cloud computing, performance and DevOps, and it is found that what is currently missing is more deeply focused research.

How do Startups Develop Internet-of-Things Systems - A Multiple Exploratory Case Study

Internet-of-Things applications are not only the new opportunity for digital businesses but also a major driving force for the modification and creation of software systems in all industries and businesses. Compared to other types of software-intensive products, the development of Internet-of-Things applications lacks...

An Empirical Study on Female Participation in Software Project Courses

Gender issues in software engineering education are gaining research attention due to the desire to promote female participation in the field. The objective of this work is to enhance the understanding of female students' participation in software engineering projects to support gender-aware course optimization. Since...

Hypotheses Engineering: First Essential Steps of Experiment-Driven Software Development

Recent studies have proposed the use of experiments to guide software development in order to build features that the user really wants. Some authors argue that this approach represents a new way to develop software that is different from the traditional requirement-driven one. In this position paper, we propose the di...

Ethically Aligned Design: An Empirical Evaluation of the RESOLVEDD-Strategy in Software and Systems Development Context

A key finding from the study indicates that simply the presence of an ethical tool has an effect on ethical consideration, creating more responsibility even in instances where the use of the tool is not intrinsically motivated.

Implementing Ethics in AI: Initial Results of an Industrial Multiple Case Study

This paper begins to address the focal problem of implementing ethics into AI system design and development in practice by providing elements needed for producing a baseline for ethics in AI based software development by means of an industrial multiple case study on AI systems development in the healthcare sector.
