DiversoLab Seminars: Innovation in IT

Events, Seminar
We're back with the seminars, and this week we bring you a seminar led by our colleague and professor Francisco José Dominguez. As always, we'll be gathering this Thursday, the 16th 10:30, in room A2.11 open to everyone and will last 30-45 minutes as usual. Below, we provide an introduction to this week's seminar: When facing a software project, one of the most relevant challenges is the uncertainty that the vast majority of these projects entail, especially concerning business (what should we build) and technology (how should we build it). The challenge escalates when dealing with an R&D project where the goal is to obtain IT innovation that allows gaining a competitive advantage. Software projects (or operations) can be of different natures, but we don't always consider what the most…

A New Seminar on “UVLHub and Open Science”

Events, Seminar
This week, on Thursday 21st, we start off with the second seminar of the calendar, which is called "UVLHub and Open Science" and led by our colleague and professor David Romero. Open Science is a current trend that allows open access to scientific results, but how does that translate into practice? In the field of software product lines, feature models are crucial for managing variabilities and similarities in product development, facilitating tasks such as product configuration and testing. Despite their importance, access to these models is restricted, as many are in private repositories or discontinued projects. To overcome these limitations, David Romero's doctoral thesis introduces the Universal Variability Language (UVL), which aims to standardize how these models are serialized, regardless of the tools used. However, current solutions for sharing models…

Last week’s Seminar on “Challenges in Computational Thinking”

Events, Seminar
Last Thursday, we inaugurated the seminar calendar with a presentation by Jesús Moreno on "Challenges in Computational Thinking". The seminar addressed the key findings of recent research on the role of computational thinking in education. Specifically, the issue was explored through three main axes: the assessment of computational thinking skills, their transfer to other domains, and the factors influencing their development. The presentation highlighted the design and validation of various educational tools and software, such as the Dr. Scratch tool (http://www.drscratch.org), which has become almost a standard in educational and academic communities globally. Subsequently, the main actions taken in the last decade at the Ministry of Education were reviewed, leading to the inclusion of computational thinking skills in the curriculum of all non-university educational stages. Results from an emerging research…

MIDAS Project Keeps Going

Uncategorized
This week our members working on MIDAS Project on Marketing 5.0 Automation attended a meeting at BusinessGo headquarters. This meeting was arranged because of the visit by a CDTI inspector in order to check the deliverables given earlier last year and give an update on the project's progress by presenting both, the company's and the developers' vision on it. MIDAS is a project to develop a Mautic Plugin to optimise and automate a company's marketing team workflow and improve their vision on their potential clients and the products and services that they offer. This is an innovative proposal, as we are making use of Software Product Lines in a Marketing 5.0 environment. All of this is achieved by using feature models and analysing statistics through AI clustering using Tensorflow. The…

Diverso Lab paper on Open Source Performance Project reaches Top 10 Downloads

Paper news
This week, a paper authored by members of Diverso Lab secured a spot on the Top 10 Downloads page at the Social Science Research Network (https://www.ssrn.com) within the Software Engineering eJournal section. Titled "A Performance Evaluation Model for DevOps Practices on Open Source Software Projects," the paper was posted on October 17th and has reached the 9th position over the past 60 days. This paper proposes an alternative method to measure project performance levels through reports from different methods and puts it in comparison with DORA metrics reports, which cannot be directly applied to OSS projects. This paper is available at SSRN: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4605131

Diverso lab en la feria de innovación de la diputación de Sevilla

Uncategorized
Sevilla. Durante las dos jornadas de duración del evento, los asistentes han podido conocer de primera mano las investigaciones realizadas en el seno del laboratorio así como establecer nuevas alianzas y colaboraciones con empresas del entorno. Concretamente, los asistentes han podido aprender de como el laboratorio ha implantado tecnologías sobre líneas de producto software en contextos tan diversos como la generación de contenido multimedia, la visualización de datos o la ejecución masiva de pruebas. Asimismo, han podido comprobar como el analisis de metricas sobre el código generado puede ofrecerles ventajas competitivas en la adaptación del software a sus necesidades. En la feria, destacaron las demostraciones prácticas donde se exhibieron prototipos avanzados y aplicaciones innovadoras desarrolladas por el equipo del laboratorio. Estas presentaciones, que abarcaron desde soluciones de inteligencia artificial hasta…
