Requirements engineering is a core practice within eXtreme Programming. Practising teams learn to not abandon any of the interconnected core practices. The continuous feedback teaches the team that they will develop at a faster and more reliable pace with the full set of practices. This paper shares an experience of how teams could accelerate development out of necessity, while maintaining thei...

This paper presents an early empirical study on Extreme Programming practices employing a qualitative action research method. The study was conducted on university students doing real commercial development projects to gain an insight into the problems faced by the new developers in adopting these agile practices. The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of the XP practices on the qu...

Fire is an integral part of savanna ecology and changes in fire patterns are linked to biodiversity loss in savannas worldwide. In Australia, changed fire regimes are implicated in the contemporary declines of small mammals, riparian species, obligate-seeding plants and grass seed-eating birds. Translating this knowledge into management to recover threatened species has proved elusive. We repor...

Abstract It is an enormous challenge for intelligent vehicles to avoid collision accidents at night because of the extremely poor light conditions. Thermal cameras can capture temperature map night, even with no sources and are ideal detection in darkness. However, how extract cues efficiently effectively from captured limited computing resources still a key issue be solved. Recently, bio-inspi...

This paper presents a single case study reporting the experiences of introducing extreme programming (XP) in a small development project at Online Telemarketing in Lund, Sweden. The project was a success despite the fact that the customer had a poor idea of the system required at the start of the development. This success is partly due to the introduction of practically all of the XP practices....
