Abstract

This paper introduces a novel optimization framework based on graph neural networks (GNNs) designed for geometric transformation optimization. Traditional optimization methods often rely on handcrafted objective functions and are limited in their ability to handle complex geometric transformations. This work leverages the power of GNNs to learn a mapping of geometric transformations, enabling automated optimization. We propose a method that utilizes a graph representation of the transformation space, where nodes represent geometric elements and edges represent the transformations applied to them. A GNN is trained to predict the optimal transformation sequence, allowing for efficient and robust optimization of complex geometric patterns. The core mechanism focuses on learning a robust representation of the transformation space through graph neural networks, facilitating the discovery of optimal geometric transformations. The paper demonstrates the effectiveness of this approach through comprehensive experiments on several challenging geometric transformation scenarios, highlighting its superior performance compared to traditional optimization techniques. The results underscore the potential of GNNs for automating geometric transformation optimization, particularly in scenarios involving intricate patterns and high-dimensional transformations.

Scrum in a Multiproject Environment: An Ethnographically-Inspired Case Study on the Adoption Challenges

Agile methods continue to gain popularity. In particular, the Scrum method appears to be on the verge of becoming a de-facto standard in the industry, leading the so called Agile movement. While there are success stories and recommendations, there is little scientifically valid evidence of the challenges in the adoption of Agile methods in general, and Scrum in particular. Little, if anything, is empirically known about the application and adoption of Scrum in a multi-team and multi-project situation. The authors carried out an ethnographically informed longitudinal case study in industrial settings and closely followed how the Scrum method was adopted in a 20-person department, working in a simultaneous multi-project R&D environment. Altogether 10 challenges pertinent to the case of multi-team multi-project Scrum adoption were identified in the study. The authors contend that these results carry great relevance for other industrial teams. Future research avenues arising from the study are indicated.
