Scenarios on Adoption of Open Source Software in the Communications Software Industry
2011
We examine the trends and developments affecting the adoption of open source software in the communications software industry. Based on expert interviews and scenario analysis, four alternative and possibly co-existing scenarios are derived. The analysis suggests that communication service providers will mostly deploy open source software in infrastructure software. Alternative developments include use of open source software in launching new services and in cloud computing. The present study is relevant particularly for technology managers considering open source strategies.
Diffusion of software technology innovations in the global context
2003
This study examines how software businesses are acquiring new software technology innovations (STIs) in rapidly changing globalized business environment characterized by rapidly shortening software technology life cycles, changing customer demands, and intense competition. It was executed through both theoretical and empirical investigations and analyses. It describes one case company as an example of the diffusion of STI and develops a framework for the diffusion of software technology innovation. The research findings are useful for both further research and industrial settings.
Hibrīda mašīntulkošana, kombinējot vairāku mašīntulkošanas sistēmu rezultātus.
2019
Šis darbs pēta metodes un izstrādā rīkus, lai kombinētu tulkojumus no dažādām mašīntulkošanas (MT) sistēmām, uzlabojot kopējo tulkojuma kvalitāti. Tiek pētīta metožu piemērojamība mazajām, morfoloģiski bagātajām valodām, it īpaši latviešu un igauņu valodai. Analizētas esošās metodes un izstrādātas vairākas jaunas, kuras implementētas un novērtētas, izmantojot automātisko un cilvēka vērtēšanu. Radītas vairākas jaunas metodes, kas: sadala avotvalodas teikumu fragmentos un tos kombinē, izmantojot valodas modeli; kombinē neirontulkojumus, izmantojot neironu MT uzmanības sastatījumus; iteratīvi papildina apmācības datus ar vairākpakāpju tulkošanas pieeju. Galvenie rezultāti ir jaunu tulkojumu kv…
SaaS-palveluiden markkinointi ja myynti B2B-markkinoilla
2010
Tässä tutkielmassa esitetään malli SaaS-palveluiden markkinoinnista ja myynnistä B2B-markkinoilla. Tämän kaltaista mallia tutkittavasta ilmiöstä ei ole aikaisemmin esitetty akateemisessa kirjallisuudessa, tai ainakaan tutkija ei ole tietoinen tästä. Malli muodostetaan käsitteellis-teoreettisen kirjallisuusanalyysin sekä monen tapauksen tapaustutkimuksen pohjalta. Kirjallisuusanalyysissä tarkastellaan markkinointia ja myyntiä ohjelmistoliiketoiminnassa sekä suhteutetaan SaaS-palvelut tähän kenttään. Kirjallisuusanalyysin pohjalta luotavaa mallia testataan suorittamalla monen tapauksen tapaustutkimus kuudessa suomalaisessa SaaS-ohjelmistoyrityksessä. Tutkimuksessa tunnistetaan neljä keskeistä…

Challenges and Opportunities for Renewable-Based Microgrids Integration in Vietnam
2020
Vietnam is among the South-Asian regions the one that better supplies remote areas. However, many islands and remote areas are still not connected to the main grid and this fact jeopardizes their development, while forcing people to move to urban areas. With a high potential from renewable energy sources and a lot of islands, Vietnam has thus many favorable environmental features for developing the microgrids technology. In this chapter, a detailed analysis about opportunities and challenges for widespread deployment of microgrids technology in Vietnam is considered. Such analysis is based on the assessments of the potential from renewable energy sources in the country and of the national p…
OntoFrame
2009
A large number of strategies, approaches, meta models, techniques and procedures have been suggested to support method engineering (ME). Most of these artifacts, here called the ME artifacts, have been constructed, in an inductive manner, synthesizing ME practice and existing ISD methods without any theory-driven conceptual foundation. Also those ME artifacts which have some conceptual groundwork have been anchored on foundations that only partly cover ME. This chapter presents an ontological framework, called OntoFrame, which can be used as a coherent conceptual foundation for the construction, analysis and comparison of ME artifacts. Due to its largeness, the authors here describe its mod…
How to Comprehend Large and Complicated Systems
2002
The basic problem at early analysis stage of the development life cycle is how to quickly comprehend a large and complicated system. One of the ways to comprehend such a system is to build an object model, as it was suggested by the pioneers of object modelling approach such as J.Rumbaugh1 and J.Martin2. In up-to-date terminology it means building a UML class diagram. The authors have got convinced in their everyday practice on extreme efficiency of this type of modelling, though at the same time a significant experience for this job is also required. To make this job easier, a modelling methodology must be developed. The goal of this paper is, on the one hand, to give some methodological r…
Considerations for Using Domain-Specific Modeling in the Analysis Phase of Software Development Process
2002
Recent studies claim that domain-specific modeling may highly increase development productivity in specific well-defined domains. Domain-specific modeling is most often used only in the design phase of software development process, while general-purpose modeling techniques are used in the other phases. Integrating general-purpose modeling techniques with domain-specific modeling might be problematic, which is why in this paper we consider if it is feasible to extend domain-specific modeling to cover analysis phase activities in addition to design phase activities. Essentially, we discuss the different activities in analysis phase and consider whether or not domain-specific techniques can be…
Improving the Reuse Process is Based on Understanding the Business and the Products: Four Case Studies
2002
The reuse of software engineering assets has been proposed as the most promising alternative for improving productivity and software quality. The improvement of reuse requires understanding of suitable reuse strategies and the software process. In four industrial cases the reuse process is analyzed for the purpose of its improvement and remarkable differences between successful processes are found. Those differences are due to differences in the products and businesses of the analyzed companies. In some cases the product line approach fits the business very well and high level of reuse can be achieved by using it. In other cases the black-box approach to reuse has turned out to suit the bus…
