Abstract
Integrated sensing, communication, and computation (ISCC) systems in space-air-ground integrated networks (SAGINs) offer a promising foundation for next-generation intelligent infrastructure. However, their highly dynamic links, heterogeneous computing resources, and stringent real-time requirements pose critical challenges, including task offloading instability, satellite handover disruptions, and cross-tier coordination inefficiency. To address these issues, we propose DA-ISCC, a dynamic adaptive architecture supporting heterogeneous node collaboration and ISCC-aware task offloading optimization. We design a multi-tier network architecture combining low earth orbit satellites, unmanned aerial vehicles, and terrestrial edge nodes, and formulate a unified model for heterogeneous tasks. We develop two optimization methods for binary and partial task offloading, respectively. A dynamic adaptive predictive alternating direction method of multipliers (DAP-ADMM) enhances robustness and convergence efficiency in binary task offloading through dynamic step-size adjustment, long short-term memory-based resource prediction, and asynchronous communication mechanism. For partial task offloading, a method based on weighted minimum mean square error (WMMSE) handles non-convex objectives via auxiliary variables and block coordinate updates, improving computational efficiency. Extensive experiments spanning small to large-scale scenarios demonstrate that DAP-ADMM achieves convergence within 0.05 residual under satellite handover and UAV mobility, outperforming greedy, DQN-based and other baselines while improving convergence speed by over 60% compared to standard ADMM with 1–2 orders of magnitude reduction in residuals. The WMMSE-based method maintains a stable computation rate exceeding 480 Mbit/s within 100 iterations.
This publication proposes a definition and a classification of agile software development approaches and analyses ten software development methods that can be characterized as being "agile" against the defined criterion.

The study shows that agile practices improve both informal and formal communication, but indicates that, in larger development situations involving multiple external stakeholders, a mismatch of adequate communication mechanisms can sometimes even hinder the communication.

The results indicate that software engineering work practices are chosen opportunistically, adapted and configured to provide value under the constrains imposed by the startup context.

The perception of the impact of agile methods is predominantly positive, and several challenge areas were discovered, but based on this study, agile methods are here to stay.

Jennifer Neville did not want to go into computer science—but that’s exactly where she landed. Neville discusses the starts and stops that led to her professional sweet spot and her work identifying “surprising failures” making it hard for AI to handle complexity.
