The availability of high-quality datasets is crucial for developing behavior prediction algorithms in autonomous vehicles. This paper highlights the need to standardize the use of certain datasets for motion forecasting research to simplify comparative analysis and proposes a set of tools and practices to achieve this. Drawing on extensive experience and a comprehensive review of current literatur
Climatic feedbacks and ecosystem impacts related to dust in the Arctic include direct radiative forcing (absorption and scattering), indirect radiative forcing (via clouds and cryosphere), semi-direct effects of dust on meteorological parameters, effects on atmospheric chemistry, as well as impacts on terrestrial, marine, freshwater, and cryospheric ecosystems. This review discusses our recent und
This letter proposes a novel wideband, single-layer monopolar antenna with high selectivity and enhanced pattern stability across the operating band. Building upon a conventional circular patch antenna, the rejection levels of the upper and lower sidebands are carefully analyzed, designed, and optimized to achieve the desired performance. To further improve performance, a shorting-via-loaded ring
As robots increasingly integrate into our social environments, from factories to social spaces, there is a growing need to find ways to effectively collaborate in these dynamic environments. However, current robotics research is mostly aimed towards task and environment specific programming. Even the state-of-the-art collaborative robotics technologies lack or have a very rudimentary understanding
5G antennas for vehicular connectivity are often mounted on the car roof to optimize signal reception. The trend of replacing metal roof with glass in modern cars opens an opportunity for embedding the 5G antennas inside the glass roof. In this work, we compare the channel gains of reference dipole, and loop antennas positioned at the roof center. Then, by considering the requirements of glass int
In the software industry, the drive to add new features often overshadows the need to improve existing code. Large Language Models (LLMs) offer a new approach to improving codebases at an unprecedented scale through AI-assisted refactoring. However, LLMs come with inherent risks such as braking changes and the introduction of security vulnerabilities. We advocate for encapsulating the interaction
Maintainable source code is essential for sustainable development. Yet, many studies show that maintainability often receives less attention than it deserves. We argue that requirements engineering can help close this gap by fostering discussions and setting appropriate targets in a responsible manner. In this preliminary work, we explore industry practices related to requirements engineering for
The remarkable advances in AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) have enabled machines to write code, accelerating the growth of software systems. However, the bottleneck in software development is not writing code but understanding it; program understanding is the dominant activity, consuming approximately 70% of developers' time. This implies that improving existing code to make it easier to under
The relationship between requirements engineering and testing has been a key interest throughout my research career. It cannot be that requirements engineers are from Omicron Persei 7 and testers from Omicron Persei 9—we all live on the same planet. I’m happy to co-author this column with a former collaborator from a test automation EU project, now a manager at Ericsson. With this issue’s focus on
This column summarizes a panel discussion given by REFSQ 202 held in Barcelona on responsibility. Given the mediator role of our field, what other soft- ware engineering discipline could be a better fit for responsible engineering? And this will just keep getting more important as the influence of technology on society increases.
This column celebrates 40 years of IEEE Software through a retrospective on Requirements Engineering. Two seasoned experts discuss the discipline’s evolution from structured methodologies to AI-driven approaches. Finally, we speculate on future trends.
This column presents the evolution of sentiment analysis from a requirements engineering perspective. With large language models, the technology is now accessible to all. From novices to expert users, we discuss suitable ways to get started.
The C programming language, while offering high performance and low-level control, is memory-unsafe. This makes it prone to programming errors that can result in serious software vulnerabilities and system instability. In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of transitioning a large code base from C to a memory-safe alternative, specifically Rust, in the context of a large company in telecom
The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Act is a relatively new regulation set out in the European Union (EU). It lays out various requirements for AI systems that are placed on the market in the EU. This paper provides a critical and differentiated view of its requirements from a software engineering perspective. A detailed analysis of the legal document shows what requirements are set out for different
This paper addresses the time-optimal path-tracking problem for redundant manipulators. By integrating path-velocity control into existing task-space robot controllers, the task-space motion can be dynamically scaled to satisfy the torque constraint under both kinematic and dynamic uncertainties. Numerical simulations and experiments demonstrate that trajectory feasibility and path-tracking accura
Software analytics (SA) is often proposed as a tool to support software engineering (SE) tasks. Several secondary studies on SA have been published, some published within the same calendar year. This presents an opportunity to take a meta-perspective and examine how the field of SA has been conceptualized and synthesized so far. By analyzing how SA is defined, which topics are emphasized, what sea
Full-duplex (FD) communication improves spectral efficiency by allowing simultaneous transmission and reception on the same frequency band. This paper analyzes a two-tier network consisting of macrocells and picocells, where base stations (BSs) operate in FD mode while users operate in half-duplex (HD) mode. However, interference remains a major challenge in these systems, significantly impacting
Massive multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) systems are crucial for enhancing spectral efficiency and link reliability in next-generation wireless communications. However, high Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) remains a significant challenge, leading to power inefficiencies and signal distortion. This paper presents a low complexity method for PAPR reduction using hard clipping tailored for f
