AI and Agile Software Development: A Research Roadmap from the XP2025 Workshop
This paper synthesizes the key findings from a full-day XP2025 workshop on "AI and Agile: From Frustration to Success", held in Brugg-Windisch, Switzerland. The workshop brought together over 30 interdisciplinary academic researchers and industry practitioners to tackle the concrete challenges and emerging opportunities at the intersection of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) and agile software development. Through structured, interactive breakout sessions, participants identified shar…

Rediscussion of eclipsing binaries. Paper XXV. The chemically-peculiar system AR Aurigae
AR Aur is a detached eclipsing binary containing two late-B stars which are chemically peculiar, on a circular orbit of period 4.135 d. The primary is a HgMn star which shows temporal changes in its chemical abundances and spectral line profiles, whilst the secondary is a likely weak Am star. Published analyses of the system have used spectroscopic light ratios to constrain the eclipse models and found that the secondary star is larger than the primary. This unexpected outcome has been taken as…

HOLISMOKES XVIII: Detecting strongly lensed SNe Ia from time series of multi-band LSST-like imaging data
Strong gravitationally lensed supernovae (LSNe), though rare, are exceptionally valuable probes for cosmology and astrophysics. Upcoming time-domain surveys like the Vera Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) offer a major opportunity to discover them in large numbers. Early identification is crucial for timely follow-up observations. We develop a deep learning pipeline to detect LSNe using multi-band, multi-epoch image cutouts. Our model is based on a 2D convolutional long…

Creaks (Multi, XP'd on SteamDeck)
Another classic adventure/puzzle platform game from the makers of Samorost, Machinarium, Botanicula. Something strange is going on underneath your dwelling. Gather your wits and courage and solve the mystery.
I've been a fan of Amanita Design since the good old days of Flash web games. Even replayed the Samorost trilogy on my phone recently. So when Creaks went on sale last month and I happened to have a bit of spare change, I snapped it…
