Time Series Analysis and Forecasting
Abstract
This paper proposes a novel approach to analyzing time series data by combining Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) with Graph Neural Networks (GNNs). The core idea is to leverage DTW for effective feature extraction from time series, followed by a GNN to learn intricate relationships within the extracted representations. Traditional GNNs often struggle with the inherent temporal dynamics of time series data. DTW addresses this by providing a flexible and robust method for aligning and representing time series with varying speeds. The resulting graph structure, informed by DTW, is then processed by the GNN to capture complex dependencies. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this combination through a theoretical framework and outline the key components of the proposed methodology. The aim is to provide a foundation for future research in applying dynamic methods to graph-based learning.
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.
