Mind the Chasm: A FishEye Lens View of Sustainable Software Engineering in UK Higher Education

چکیده
Requirements that express the needs of all stakeholders and cover the key aspects of a software system (such as those addressing sustainability) are critical to the system’s successful development and adoption. For practitioners who want to develop sustainable software-intensive systems, it is also argued that software requirements are the key leverage point. But what do software developers know about broader sustainability and sustainability requirements in particular? As part of the University of Huddersfield’s ’Student as a Researcher’ initiative, this paper provides a FishEye Lens View on how novice software developers who design and develop software systems at software companies relate to the notions of sustainability and sustainability requirements. The study has found that although sustainability is valued highly by the novice software developers, the concept of sustainability and sustainability requirements are not fully understood. This lack of knowledge in the software industry and organizations must be addressed to enable delivery of truly sustainability enabling software systems.

Resource Based View of the Firm as a Theoretical Lens on the Organisational Consequences of Quality Improvement
Evaluating the investment that healthcare organisations make in quality improvement requires knowledge of impact at multiple levels, including patient care, workforce and other organisational resources. The degree to which these resources help organisations to survive and thrive in the challenging contexts in which healthcare is designed and delivered is unknown. Investigating this question fro...

A fisheye camera lens is a very wide angle lens that magnifies nearby objects while shrinking distant objects. It is a valuable tool for seeing both “local detail” and “global context” simultaneously. This paper describes a system for viewing and browsing graphs using a software analog of a fisheye lens. We first show how to implement such a view using solely geometric transformations. We then ...

This paper focuses on calibrating a rotating line spherical camera with a fisheye lens to provide a large vertical field of view for 360 panoramic imaging. With simplicity in mind, the proposed method uses a simple calibration object based on a small five-sided open box with a checkerboard pattern on each plane, a simple equidistance camera projection model with an additional camera parameter t...
متن کاملA Novel Fisheye-Lens-Based Photoacoustic System
This paper presents a novel fisheye-lens-based photoacoustic (PA) system. In conventional PA systems, mechanical motors are utilized to obtain the target information due to the small fields of view of such systems. The use of such motors introduces mechanical noise, which is difficult to remove when processing the echo signals. A fisheye lens system offering a wide field of view would effective...
متن کاملResource Based View: A Promising New Theory for Healthcare Organizations; Comment on “Resource Based View of the Firm as a Theoretical Lens on the Organisational Consequences of Quality Improvement”
This commentary reviews a recent piece by Burton and Rycroft-Malone on the use of Resource Based View (RBV) in healthcare organizations. It first outlines the core content of their piece. It then discusses their attempts to extend RBV to the analysis of large scale quality improvement efforts in healthcare. Some critique is elaborated. The broader question of why RBV seems to be migrating into ...
