Context: Our research is set in the industrial context of Nokia 5G and the introduction of Machine Learning Software Defect Prediction (ML SDP) to the existing quality assurance process within the company. Objective: We aim to support or undermine the ...

Scaling to larger systems, with current levels of reliability, requires cost-effective methods to mitigate hardware failures. One of the main causes of hardware failure is an uncorrected error in memory, which terminates the current job and wastes all ...

Cyber-physical production systems (CPPS) improve flexibility, efficiency, and quality. Maintenance activities can be reduced, and processes optimized. Subsequently profits increase. Introducing CPPS in companies requires investments in additional ...

Benefit–cost analyses are critical to support U.S. agencies’ programmatic decision making. These analyses are particularly challenging when one of the benefits is adversary deterrence. This paper presents a framework for calculating the value of ...

Whether to purchase a product is of fundamental importance to marketing, but purchasing behaviors vary widely across individuals and contexts. This paper proposes that a sizeable fraction of this variation is associated with differences in the time at ...

In the realm of public policy-making, identifying and prioritizing regeneration interventions represent a critical challenge for the development of effective strategies and actions. This requires a comprehensive approach to understanding of the ...

Prior work has identified a resilient phenomenon that threatens the performance of human-AI decision-making teams: overreliance, when people agree with an AI, even when it is incorrect. Surprisingly, overreliance does not reduce when the AI produces ...

Delivering project benefits for users and society is a key aspect of success in public IT projects. The traditional success measures, such as time and cost, only tell parts of the story. Furthermore, one of the main challenges in public IT ...

Information Technology (IT) investments in the public sector are large, and it is essential that they lead to benefits for the organisations themselves and wider society. While there is evidence suggesting a positive connection between the ...

The paper aims to provide insights into when benefits from investments in Information Technology are most likely to be realised, and how benefits management practices and roles should be implemented in order to have a positive effect on the projects' ...

This study aims to analyze the general process conditions in a furniture company in Colombia. Many improvement opportunities were identified and addressed using lean manufacturing tools and philosophy to increase the process's outcome. The ...

This paper presents and evaluates a method to predict DRAM uncorrected errors, a leading cause of hardware failures in large-scale HPC clusters. The method uses a random forest classifier, which was trained and evaluated using error logs from two years ...

Architecture debt is a form of technical debt that derives from the gap between the intended and the actual architecture design. In this study we measured architecture debt in two ways: 1) in terms of system-wide coupling measures, and 2) in terms of ...

Inlining is one of the most important compiler optimizations. It reduces call overheads and widens the scope of other optimizations. But, inlining is somewhat of a black art of an optimizing compiler, and was characterized as a computationally ...

Time-limited promotions that exploit consumers' sense of urgency to boost sales account for billions of dollars in consumer spending each year. However, it is challenging to discover the right timing and duration of a promotion to increase its chances ...

Flood prevention policy is of major importance to the Netherlands since a large part of the country is below sea level and high water levels in rivers may also cause floods. In this paper we propose a dike height optimization model to determine ...

In this paper, we investigate when to browse the web using WiFi and cellular simultaneously on mobile devices. Our observation, based on empirical measurements, is that mobile web may not always benefit from multipath, which motivates a cost-benefit ...

Technical knowledge and experience are intangible assets crucial for competitiveness. Knowledge is particularly important when it comes to complex design activities such as the configuration of manufacturing systems. The preliminary design of ...

While careful and prudent settings for airport security policies and strategies are more important than ever, most of them have been implemented as a direct result of terrorist activities rather than motivated by a proper assessment. Furthermore, even ...

In this paper, we investigate the effect of accounting biases on firms' financing decisions and the role of accounting biases in endogenous information quality. We show that in industries with generally low-profit prospects, a downward-biased accounting ...

We present a cost-benefit analysis of kernel tracing systems for forensic readiness. We use the comprehensive coverage provided by kernel tracing systems as the indicator of benefit, and calculate the performance and storage overheads caused by ...
