Challenges in designing research infrastructure software in multi-stakeholder contexts
This study investigates the challenges in designing research infrastructure software for automated software publication in multi-stakeholder environments, focusing specifically on the HERMES system. Through two quantitative surveys of research software engineers (RSEs) and infrastructure facility staff (IFs), it examines technical, organizational, and social requirements across these stakeholder groups. The study reveals significant differences in how RSEs and IFs prioritize various system feat…

Automatic Metadata Extraction for Text-to-SQL
Large Language Models (LLMs) have recently become sophisticated enough to automate many tasks ranging from pattern finding to writing assistance to code generation. In this paper, we examine text-to-SQL generation. We have observed from decades of experience that the most difficult part of query development lies in understanding the database contents. These experiences inform the direction of our research. Text-to-SQL benchmarks such as SPIDER and Bird contain extensive metadata that is gener…

Magnetoimpedance properties of CoNbZr, multilayer CoNbZr/Au and multilayer NiFe/Au thin films
Thin-film magnetic sensors using the giant magnetoimpedance (GMI) effect show great promise for sensitive low-field magnetic measurements. Optimising sensor performance requires a thorough understanding of the properties of various soft magnetic materials. This study examines the electric, magnetic, and GMI properties of sputtered single-layer amorphous CoNbZr, multilayer amorphous CoNbZr/Au, and crystalline NiFe/Au thin films. GMI measurements reveal distinct ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) freq…

How to Elicit Explainability Requirements? A Comparison of Interviews, Focus Groups, and Surveys
As software systems grow increasingly complex, explainability has become a crucial non-functional requirement for transparency, user trust, and regulatory compliance. Eliciting explainability requirements is challenging, as different methods capture varying levels of detail and structure. This study examines the efficiency and effectiveness of three commonly used elicitation methods - focus groups, interviews, and online surveys - while also assessing the role of taxonomy usage in structuring a…
