Agile Earth observation satellites are satellites orbiting Earth with the purpose to gather information of the Earth’s surface by slewing the satellite toward regions of interest. Constraints arise not only from dynamical and kinematic aspects of the satellite and its sensors. Regions of interest change over time and bad weather can conceal important observation targets. This results in a const...

Agile methodology such as Scrum, Extreme Programming (XP), Feature Driven Development (FDD) and the Dynamic System Development Method (DSDM) have gained enough recognition as efficient development process by delivering software fast even under the time constrains. However, like other agile methods DSDM has been criticized because of unavailability of security element in its four phases. In orde...

Abstract The application of agile development methods in response to increasing market dynamics and product complexity is a key lever the automotive industry. Agile originally come from software industry enable fast, flexible customer-oriented development. These are also increasingly being used hardware However, evaluation benefits context has been primarily subjective. publication aims present...

Due to the current market dynamics, changes in requirements are often faced by the software industry, impacting directly on the software system to be produced. To deal with this situation, software development organizations need to use techniques that enable fast responses. Agile methods have been considered adequate to handle these situations. Our research focuses on understanding how Brazilia...

This paper presents an overview of recent and current work being conducted in the “Agile All-Photonic Networks”, AAPN, Research Network. An AAPN is a wavelength division multiplexed network that consists of several overlaid stars formed by edge nodes that aggregate traffic, interconnected by bufferless optical core nodes that perform fast switching in order to provide bandwidth allocation in su...

This paper explores the recent trends of research and development in modern manufacturing systems. Those trends happen to direct the business activities of this sector towards the globalisation of the usual markets and the creation of a new virtual, agile, and extended production environment whose purpose is to ensure fast, responsive, and adaptable reaction to the new market conditions. This p...

Spark has emerged as an easy to use, scalable, robust and fast system for analytics with a rapidly growing and vibrant community of users and contributors. It is multipurpose—with extensive and modular infrastructure for machine learning, graph processing, SQL, streaming, statistical processing, and more. Its rapid adoption therefore calls for a performance assessment suite that supports agile ...

This paper describes the approach of the RescueRobots Freiburg Virtual League team. Our simulated robots are based on the two real robot types Lurker, a robot capable of climbing stairs and random stepfield, and Zerg, a lightweight and agile robot, capable of autonomously distributing RFID tags. Our approach covers a novel method for RFID-Technology based SLAM and exploration, allowing the fast...
