Towards Measuring the Agility of Software Business
2018
Agile development methods have been employed across the software industry. However, it is not always clear if the used methods actually help the software firms in being more agile and if agility has a positive influence in the software firm performance. Studying these questions may turn out impossible since good measurements for assessing the overall agility of software firms do not yet exist. A need is therefore detected to measure the differences in agility between firms and finding the means to evaluate the differences in agility in reliable manner. This article examines how to measure the agility of a software firm and reports initial steps in the process of developing measurement instr…
Practices and Infrastructures for Machine Learning Systems : An Interview Study in Finnish Organizations
2022
Using interviews, we investigated the practices and toolchains for machine learning (ML)-enabled systems from 16 organizations across various domains in Finland. We observed some well-established artificial intelligence engineering approaches, but practices and tools are still needed for the testing and monitoring of ML-enabled systems. Peer reviewed
“At least we have something to discuss over lunch…” The implications for knowledge management when implementing a new library system. A Norwegian exp…
2017
This article investigates how staff and management in Norwegian academic libraries have experienced the implementation of the new library management system Alma. As a new library management system is introduced, the need for learning on demand emerges. An anonymous survey was sent to all academic libraries in Norway, resulting in a total of 626 responses. This article presents the findings from this survey and provides some reflections on how a firm grip on knowledge management could have helped make such a transition easier.
Multi-marginal entropy-transport with repulsive cost
2020
In this paper we study theoretical properties of the entropy-transport functional with repulsive cost functions. We provide sufficient conditions for the existence of a minimizer in a class of metric spaces and prove the $\Gamma$-convergence of the entropy-transport functional to a multi-marginal optimal transport problem with a repulsive cost. We also prove the entropy-regularized version of the Kantorovich duality.

Information system implementation model and observations - Case health care, social services and other service processes in smaller municipalities
2012
Public sector in Finland is under heavy pressure to get more efficient and customer oriented. Information systems and their development is one possibility to improve municipalities’ own processes and their service offering to the inhabitants. In this study we investigated what is the status of Information Systems in municipal governance and architecture management. The situation with systems landscape and architecture is, based on our findings, very scattered and municipals do not make their decisions, for example outsourcing decisions, in a systematic way. Based on those findings, especially in small municipalities, we created a model, which municipal ICT responsible professionals can foll…
Accélérer la recherche d'informations grâce aux dispositifs d'interaction : Système de navigation pour les documents numériques
2005
International audience; Cet article présente une démarche qui vise à doter les outils d'interaction tactiles usuels (souris informatique, pavé tactile) d'une commande de prévisualisation des objets désignés. Nous décrivons la genèse du dispositif ainsi que les bénéfices attendus en termes d'agrément d'usage et d'accélération des recherches d'information dans certains contextes (retrouver une page qui a déjà été consultée par exemple). Nous limiterons notre description dans le cadre de cet article aux apports du dispositif à la consultation de documents numériques et en particulier aux sites Internet.
ACCOUNTING OUTSOURCING IN MICRO AND SMALL ENTITIES – OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS = OUTSOURCING RACHUNKOWOŚCI W MIKRO- I MAŁYCH PODMIOTACH – SZANSE I ZA…
2019
W dobie przemian społeczno-gospodarczych, silnej konkurencji, a także zmieniających się przepisów prawnych utrzymanie się na rynku i efektywne funkcjonowanie mikro- i małych podmiotów możliwe jest dzięki delegowaniu świadczenia usług w dziedzinie rachunkowości na zewnątrz wysoko wyspecjalizowanym jednostkom. Celem artykułu jest zaprezentowanie roli outsourcingu rachunkowości w aspekcie potrzeb informacyjnych użytkowników podmiotów małych i mikro funkcjonujących na globalnym rynku, jak również wskazanie na ich szanse i zagrożenia w świetle wyników przeprowadzonych badań. Jako metodami badawczymi posłużono się studiami literatury przedmiotu, przeglądem aktów prawnych, metodą ankietową oraz wn…
Variational parabolic capacity
2015
We establish a variational parabolic capacity in a context of degenerate parabolic equations of $p$-Laplace type, and show that this capacity is equivalent to the nonlinear parabolic capacity. As an application, we estimate the capacities of several explicit sets.
Location-Awareness for Failure Management in Cellular Networks: An Integrated Approach
2021
Recent years have seen the proliferation of different techniques for outdoor and, especially, indoor positioning. Still being a field in development, localization is expected to be fully pervasive in the next few years. Although the development of such techniques is driven by the commercialization of location-based services (e.g., navigation), its application to support cellular management is considered to be a key approach for improving its resilience and performance. When different approaches have been defined for integrating location information into the failure management activities, they commonly ignore the increase in the dimensionality of the data as well as their integration into th…
