with sequential diagnosis to propose measurements to localize the faults. The normally required conditional probabilities are computed from the structure of the device and models of its components. This capability results from a novel way of incorporating probabilities and information theory into the context

systems in non-trivial and critical ways to provide advanced capabilities that are commonly required by newly-emerging stream processing applications. In this paper, we outline the basic design and functionality of Borealis. Through sample real-world applications, we motivate the need for dynamically

. In this paper, we explore potential ways to identify talented software engineering students in a data-driven manner through an Agile Project Management (APM) platform. Through our proposed HASE online APM tool, we conducted a study involving 21 Scrum teams consisting of over 100 undergraduate software

Finally, we describe data, annotation methodologies and tools necessary to further advance the field. We conclude with a recommended action plan for forward progress in the community. 1.0 ROADMAP Figure 1

and report results. More detailed requirements are derived from these high-level requirements: data-driven and keyword-driven testing techniques, for example, are essential prerequisites for both ease-of-use and maintainability. The next step in the thesis is constructing and presenting a framework concept

development to ensure that, once published, framework components can interact in standard ways. The standard interaction of data-driven components results in the implicit integration of domain datasets; data integration becomes a function of component development. The framework

Scenarios have been advocated as a means of improving requirements engineering yet few methods or tools exist to support scenario based RE. The paper reports a method and software assistant tool for scenario-based RE that integrates with use case approaches to object oriented development

accomplished manually, resulting in high efforts and inconsistencies. IT support is required to utilize the informa-tion about the product and its structure for deriving, coordinating and maintaining such data-driven process structures. In this paper, we intro-duce the COREPRO framework for the data-driven
