Factors influencing vendor organizations in the selection of DevOps for global software development: an exploratory study using a systematic literature review
This study is motivated by the apparent shortage of DevOps practices being used in global software development. DevOps is an attractive option for software development companies due to its benefits such as bridging the gap between development and operations teams, efficient software development within budget and time, reduced errors, improved product quality, faster failure identification, and faster development and deployment of new modifications. Global software development (GSD) grows extensively due to its various benefits like cost effectiveness, access to large multi-skilled workforces, reduced time to market, etc. G...

The impact of an employee ’s psychological contract breach on compliance with information security policies: intrinsic and extrinsic motivation
This study investigates the effect of psychological contract breach (PCB) of employees on ISP compliance intention by dividing them into intrinsic and extrinsic motivation using the theory of planned behaviour and the general deterrence theory. Data analysis from UK employees (n = 206) showed that the higher the PCB, the lower the ISP compliance intentions. The study also found that PCBs significantly reduced intrinsic motivation (attitude and perceived fairness) for ISP compliance intentions, whereas PCBs did not moderate the relationship between extrinsic motivation (sanction severity and sanctions certainty) and ISP com...

Artificial intelligence or the challenge of the century
Abstract“Artificial Intelligence or the Challenge of the Century: Anatomy of a Radical Antihumanism" by Éric Sadin examines, from a phenomenology of artifacts perspective, the evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) and the challenges it poses. The author conceives AI as a global system composed of devices interconnected with beings and objects in the world, whose behavior is continuously monitored and digitally influenced through algorithms. Specifically, the power of this"algorithmic Leviathan" lies not only in its ability to handle vast amounts of information, rendering human minds dispensable, but a...

Towards efficient human –machine interaction for home energy management with seasonal scheduling using deep fuzzy neural optimizer
AbstractMaintaining the records of domestic consumers ’ electricity consumption patterns is very complex task for the utilities, especially for extracting the meaningful information to maintain their demand and supply. Due to the increase in population, large amount of valuable data from the domestic sector is extracted by the smart meters and it bec omes a vulnerable issue to tackle this information in recent era. In this work, we have proposed the fuzzy deep neural optimizer to optimize the cost and power demand of the stochastic behavior of the domestic consumers. For optimization process, this optimizer considers thr...

A novel hybrid requirement ’s prioritization approach based on critical software project factors
AbstractRequirements prioritization is essential for development of quality software products. Requirements prioritization helps focus on the most important requirements between the available software requirements. This process is also called preserving core vision according to customer viewpoint or managing the quality requirements. Many requirements prioritization techniques have been proposed in the Software Engineering field. However, one requirement prioritization technique can only be generalized for some software projects. This research effort aims to develop a sustainable hybrid model for requirements prioritizatio...

Promises of industry 4.0 under the magnifying glass of interdisciplinarity: revealing operators and managers work and challenging collaborative robot design
AbstractThe goal of this article is to propose a cross-perspective around Collaborative Robotics —seen as a remarkable example of technologies 4.0 in an industrial context—by calling on sociology, activity-centred ergonomics, engineering, and robotics expertises. The development of this cross-perspective is thought to be a key issue to improve the design of work organisation for the Industr y 4.0. After a socio-historical review of promises of Collaborative Robotics, the interdisciplinary approach developed and applied in a French Small& Medium Enterprise (SME) is presented. In this case study, two work situations ...

Augmented reality HUD vs. conventional HUD to perform a navigation task in a complex driving situation
This study aims at investigating the added value of an augmented reality head-up display (AR-HUD) in relation to a conventional head-up display (C-HUD) to perform navigation tasks in a complex road situation. The notion of complexity was defined according to two main factors: infrastructure and traffic. It was used to identify and select real road situations presenting different sources of complexity. This study focuses on one of these situations, which was reproduced on a simulator and broken down into three use cases. A total of 32 participants performed three navigation tasks, using the AR-HUD or the C-HUD. Both objecti...

Research on multilevel situation awareness changes under the cumulative effect of mental fatigue
In this study, the data of fatigue self-assessment, electrocardiogram, and eye physiological of ten participants were collected in the simulated flight tasks, and the SA scores of the participants' perception, understanding and prediction levels were evaluated using probe technology. The experimental results show that the scores of perception level of SA was basically not affected by the mental fatigue state caused by the accumulation effect, while the understanding level and prediction level both showed a decline in scores. The results of the study are of reference value for further exploring the multilevel SA level chang...

Road geometrical design out of standards: a preliminary study in a simulated context
AbstractWhen a road design solution is quite out of standards for the presence of insurmountable constraints, there is the need for an objective procedure aimed at achieving a certain level of safety for drivers. To avoid issues on judicial responsibility, designers aim to fully satisfy the existing standards, possibly without any exception. Traditional methodologies based on previous experience or road administrators ’ guidelines generally caused problems due to the high subjectivity involved in the analysis. In this paper, to overpass these issues, a rational procedure based on vehicles telemetry data in a simulated en...

A heartbeat-based study of attention in the detection of digital alarms from focused and distributed supervisory control systems
AbstractConnected operators of future factories will interact with different devices to be ready to acknowledge any request to intervene or to take back control. The paper studies this ability by proposing a heartbeat-based alarm monitoring system to study human attention when acknowledging a request for action. Request to intervene is done via alarms from two configurations of a digital supervisory control system. Digital interactions of the focused configuration are performed on one touchscreen, whereas those of the distributed configuration are performed on separate touchscreens. Experiments were carried out with two co...
