1. 21. Technical Debt: An empirical investigation of its harmfulness and on management strategies in industry

   Författare :Terese Besker; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Developer Morale; Empirical Research; Software Quality; Technical Debt; Software Developing Productivity; Software Engineering; Software Architecture; Mixed-methods;

   Sammanfattning : Background: In order to survive in today's fast-growing and ever fast-changing business environment, software companies need to continuously deliver customer value, both from a short- and long-term perspective. However, the consequences of potential long-term and far-reaching negative effects of shortcuts and quick fixes made during the software development lifecycle, described as Technical Debt (TD), can impede the software development process.

3. 22. Thinking beyond the Cure : a constructive design research investigation into the patient experience of radiotherapy

   Författare :Tara Mullaney; Erik Stolterman; Helena Pettersson; Johan Redström; Jodi Forlizzi; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; constructive design research; patient experience of radiotherapy; actor networks; design experiments; composite methodology; mixed-methods; prototyping; design research; research through design;

   Sammanfattning : This constructive design research dissertation aims to understand how design can be used as part of a composite research approach to generate knowledge about how complex phenomena are composed through their interactions and relationships with various actors, both human and non-human. It has done this by investigating a single phenomenon, the patient experience of radiotherapy. LÄS MER

4. 23. Design for Perception - A human-centric approach to the design of driving automation systems based on the driver’s perception

   Författare :Fjolle Novakazi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; design method; human-centric design; human factors.; mental model; driving automation; cognitive engineering; understanding; empirical research; design tool; perception; levels of automation; mixed-methods research;

   Sammanfattning : The automotive industry is rapidly developing driving automation systems (DAS) with the aim of supporting drivers by means of the automation of longitudinal and lateral vehicle control. As vehicle complexity increases and update-over-the-air features are enabling continuous development of vehicle software and functionality, the driver’s understanding of their responsibility and their vehicle’s capabilities and limitations is becoming significantly more important.

7. 25. Wicked Problems in Engineering Education : Preparing Future Engineers to Work for Sustainability

   Författare :Johanna Lönngren; Magdalena Svanström; Åke Ingerman; Tom Adawi; John Holmberg; Marie Paretti; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; wicked problem; engineering education; sustainability; phenomenography; assessment; rubric; design-based research; action research; perspective shift; ill-structured problems; problem-solving; didactics of natural science; naturvetenskapens didaktik;

   Sammanfattning : Most engineering education today does not adequately prepare students to contribute to sustainability. For example, engineering students often do not learn how to address complex and ill-structured sustainability problems that involve different stakeholders, value conflicts,and uncertainty; such problems are also called wicked problems.
