Towards evidence‐based decision‐making for identification and usage of assets in composite software: A research roadmap Open

Claes Wohlin, Efi Papatheocharous, Jan Carlson, Kai Petersen, Emil Alégroth , et al. · 2021

Software engineering is decision intensive. Evidence‐based software engineering is suggested for decision‐making concerning the use of methods and technologies when developing software. Software development often includes the reuse of soft…

Truck platooning business case analysis Open

Jakob Axelsson, T Bergh, Alexander Johansson, Björn Mårdberg, Pontus Svenson , et al. · 2020

In this report we describe results from the work on business case analysis of the Sweden for Platooning (S4P) project. Platooning has the potential to contribute to the on-going transformation of the transport sector by reducing environmen…

Architecting systems‐of‐systems and their constituents: A case study applying Industry 4.0 in the construction domain Open

Jakob Axelsson, Joakim Fröberg, Peter Eriksson · 2019

The development of system‐of‐systems (SoS) requires a continuous interplay between design decisions on the SoS level and those on the level of its constituent systems (CS), which often preexist and need to be adapted as the SoS evolves. Th…

Selecting component sourcing options: A survey of software engineering’s broader make-or-buy decisions Open

Markus Borg, Panagiota Chatzipetrou, Krzysztof Wnuk, Emil Alégroth, Tony Gorschek , et al. · 2019

Game theory applications in systems-of-systems engineering: A literature review and synthesis Open

Jakob Axelsson · 2019

Systems-of-systems (SoS) are becoming increasingly common in more and more domains, spreading from the initial focus on government-controlled areas such as defense to open market industries. This implies that collaborative SoS are becoming…

Selecting Software Component Sourcing Options : Detailed Survey Description and Analysis Open

Markus Borg, Panagiota Chatzipetrou, Krzysztof Wnuk, Emil Alégroth, Tony Gorschek , et al. · 2018

Component-based software engineering (CBSE) is a common approach to develop and evolve contemporary software systems. When evolving a system based on components, make-or-buy decisions are frequent, i.e., whether to develop components inter…

Architecture exploration for distributed embedded systems: a gap analysis in automotive domain Open

Xinhai Zhang, Naveen Mohan, Martin Törngren, Jakob Axelsson, DeJiu Chen · 2017

A large body of work can be found in literature on Design Space Exploration (DSE) methods for distributed embedded system architecting (DESA). However, almost none of these methods is successfully adopted in automotive industry. To clarify…

Choosing Component Origins for Software Intensive Systems: In-House, COTS, OSS or Outsourcing?—A Case Survey Open

Kai Petersen, Deepika Badampudi, Syed Muhammad Ali Shah, Krzysztof Wnuk, Tony Gorschek , et al. · 2017

The choice of which software component to use influences the success of a software system. Only a few empirical studies investigate how the choice of components is conducted in industrial practice. This is important to understand to tailor…

The GRADE Decision Canvas for Classification and Reflection on Architecture Decisions Open

Efi Papatheocharous, Kai Petersen, Jakob Axelsson, Claes Wohlin, Jan Carlson , et al. · 2017

This paper introduces a decision canvas for capturing architecture decisions in software and systems engineering. The canvas leverages a dedicated taxonomy, denoted GRADE, meant for establishing the basics of the vocabulary for assessing a…

Safety in Vehicle Platooning: A Systematic Literature Review Open
