KARMA Approach supporting Development Process Reconstruction in Model-based Systems Engineering
Model reconstruction is a method used to drive the development of complex system development processes in model-based systems engineering. Currently, during the iterative design process of a system, there is a lack of an effective method to manage changes in development requirements, such as development cycle requirements and cost requirements, and to realize the reconstruction of the system development process model. To address these issues, this paper proposes a model reconstruction method to…

AnyAni: An Interactive System with Generative AI for Animation Effect Creation and Code Understanding in Web Development
Generative AI assistants have been widely used in front-end programming. However, besides code writing, developers often encounter the need to generate animation effects. As novices in creative design without the assistance of professional designers, developers typically face difficulties in describing, designing, and implementing desired animations. To address this issue, we conducted a formative study (N=6) to identify the challenges that code developers face when dealing with animation desig…

Using Containers to Speed Up Development, to Run Integration Tests and to Teach About Distributed Systems
GlideinWMS is a workload manager provisioning resources for many experiments, including CMS and DUNE. The software is distributed both as native packages and specialized production containers. Following an approach used in other communities like web development, we built our workspaces, system-like containers to ease development and testing. Developers can change the source tree or check out a different branch and quickly reconfigure the services to see the effect of their changes. In this pape…

"Maybe We Need Some More Examples:" Individual and Team Drivers of Developer GenAI Tool Use
Despite the widespread availability of generative AI tools in software engineering, developer adoption remains uneven. This unevenness is problematic because it hampers productivity efforts, frustrates management's expectations, and creates uncertainty around the future roles of developers. Through paired interviews with 54 developers across 27 teams -- one frequent and one infrequent user per team -- we demonstrate that differences in usage result primarily from how developers perceive the too…
