Searching for Global Employability : Can Students Capitalize on Enabling Learning Environments?

2019

Literature on global employability signifies “enabling” learning environments where students encounter ill-formed and open-ended problems and are required to adapt and be creative. Varying forms of “projects,” co-located and distributed, have populated computing curricula for decades and are generally deemed an answer to this call. We performed a qualitative study to describe how project course students are able to capitalize on the promise of enabling learning environments. This critical perspective was motivated by the circumstance of the present-day education systems being heavily regulated for the precipitated production of human capital. The students involved in our study described edu…

Support for Knowledge and Innovations in Software Development – Community within Company: Inner Source Environment

2007

This case study considers a software development support portal adapted from open source developer communities into a company internal, so called inner-source development environment. With theoretical insights into knowledge management (KM) models, recent advancements in KM theory building, and observations of the inner source platform we make observations as regarding the KM approach and suggestions for its further development. Both technological and human components of KM are considered. The results of this study, can be generally applicable to the knowledge creation and innovation support in software development. We believe that many software companies are following the example and build…

Johtaja avainasemassa : dialoginen johtajuus ohjelmistokehittämisen organisaatiossa

2016

Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää miten dialoginen johtajuus rakentuu tutkimuksen ohjelmistokehittämisen alaan kuuluvassa kohdeorganisaatiossa ja miten johtaja edistää dialogisen johtajuuden rakentumista. Löydösten pohjalta muodostettiin dialogisen johtajuuden rakentumisen malli sekä pyrittiin tuomaan esille konkreettisia havaintoja johtajan toiminnasta dialogisen johtajuuden edistämisessä. Tutkimuksen aihe nähtiin tärkeäksi etsittäessä keinoja muuttuvassa ja kiristyvässä tilanteessa toimivien organisaatioiden työssä oppimisen mahdollistamiseen. Tutkimuksen aineisto koostui kohdeorganisaation palaveritilanteissa äänitetyistä tallenteista. Aineisto analysoitiin tutkimusprosessin …

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

Determination of Fibre Orientation Distribution from Images of Fibre Networks

2003

We recall two categories of algorithms for estimating fibre orientation distribution from an image of a spatial fibre system. In the first algorithm, the estimate is a magnitude-weighted distribution from angles perpendicular to the directions of the gradients in the image. The second algorithm is based on the scaled variogram of grey values scanned along a sampling line and its relation to the fibre orientation distribution. Using lines in several directions and assuming a parametric model for the orientation distribution, the orientation parameters are estimated numerically from a least-squares type procedure. Two versions of variogram-based methods are used in this work. We compare the p…

Combustion behavior of black liquors : droplet swelling and influence of liquor composition

2017

The combustion of black liquor (BL) in a recovery boiler is a central process in a kraft pulp mill for recovering the cooking chemicals and for producing heat and power. This work explored the most important combustion behavior of BL, the swelling of in-flight droplets, from the viewpoint of liquor composition. It also studied the combustion behavior of BL droplets obtained from two biorefining subprocesses (carbonation and hot-water pretreatment, HWP) and sulfur-free pulping alternatives (soda-anthraquinone (AQ) and oxygen-alkali pulping). The formation of a plastic state essential for the swelling of BL droplet was found to result from the melting of an array of carbohydrate-derived aliph…
