چکیده
Software is the key enabling factor for many industrial giants in product development and the ability to deliver reliable software intensive systems in a cost-efficient manner is becoming the differentiating factor for their future competitiveness. This underlines the importance of an industrially relevant software engineering program and realization of the above fact has lead us to conceptualize a novel graduate program in this domain. The program originated from a set of mutually beneficial motivating factors, which were realized during close collaborations between industry and academia in a global setting. In this paper we present the stakeholder perspectives as well as our experiences during the development and running of

متن کاملModified Pareto archived evolution strategy for the multi-skill project scheduling problem with generalized precedence relations
In this research, we study the multi-skill resource-constrained project scheduling problem, where there are generalized precedence relations between project activities. Workforces are able to perform one or several skills, and their efficiency improves by repeating their skills. For this problem, a mathematical formulation has been proposed that aims to optimize project completion time, reworki...
متن کاملRequirements Evolution Understanding Formally Software Engineering Processes within Industrial Contexts
This report considers software requirements evolution within industrial production environments. Any production environment consists of diverse stakeholders interacting through processes focused on particular aspects of software production. Thus, software is the result of cooperating processes in which the human is the main actor. Effective cooperation requires stakeholders to understand their ...
متن کاملA Green Competitive Vehicle Routing Problem under Uncertainty Solved by an Improved Differential Evolution Algorithm
Regarding the development of distribution systems in the recent decades, fuel consumption of trucks has increased noticeably, which has a huge impact on greenhouse gas emissions. For this reason, the reduction of fuel consumption has been one of the most important research areas in the last decades. The aim of this paper is to propose a robust mathematical model for a variant of a vehicle routi...
