But the major novel contribution will be in integrating methods and tools from the mentioned areas, thus providing a new solution framework for software evolution and adaptation for data-intensive applications.
This document provides an introduction and outline for a course on Formal Language Theory. The course will cover topics like set theory, relations, mathematical induction, graphs and trees, strings and languages. It will then introduce formal grammars including regular grammars, context-free grammars and pushdown automata. The course is divided into 5 chapters: Basics, Introduction to Grammars, Regular Languages, Context-Free Languages, and Pushdown Automata. The Basics chapter provides an overview of formal vs natural languages and reviews concepts like sets, relations, functions, and mathematical induction.
Theory of automata and formal languageRabia Khalid
The document discusses theory of automata and formal languages. It defines key concepts like abstract machines, automata, alphabets, strings, words, languages and provides examples to describe them. Abstract machines are theoretical models of computer systems used to analyze how they work. Automata are self-operating machines that follow predetermined sequences of operations. Alphabets are sets of symbols, strings are concatenations of symbols, and words are strings belonging to a language. Languages can be defined descriptively or recursively and examples are given to illustrate different ways of defining languages.

Abstract
Open Source Software (OSS) is in regular widespread use supporting critical
applications and infrastructure, including the Internet and World Wide Web themselves. The communities of OSS users and developers are often interwoven. The deep engagement of users and developers, coupled with the openness of systems lead to community-based system design and re-design activities that are continuous. Continuous redesign is facilitated by communication and knowledge-
sharing infrastructures such as persistent chat rooms, newsgroups, issue-
reporting/tracking repositories, sharable design representations and many kinds of
"software informalisms." These tools are arenas for managing the extensive, varied,
multimedia community knowledge that forms the foundation and the substance of
system requirements. Active community-based design processes and knowledge repositories create new ways of learning about, representing, and defining systems that challenge current models of representation and design. This paper presents several aspects of our research into continuous, open, community-based design
practices. We discuss several new insights into how communities represent
knowledge and capture requirements that derive from our qualitative empirical
studies of large (ca. 2GB+) repositories of problem-report data, primarily from the
Mozilla project.
The document summarizes a survey on hybrid software development approaches. It finds that most combinations follow a pattern where a traditional process model serves as a framework and agile practices are plugged in. It also finds that hybrid approaches are independent of company size and external triggers. The survey received responses from 69 participants and identified five major combination patterns. It concludes that hybrid approaches have become mainstream and are the result of natural process evolution driven by experience, learning, and pragmatism.

Foresight Methods and Practice: Lessons Learned from International Foresight ...Totti Könnölä
This document provides an overview of foresight methods and lessons learned from international foresight exercises. It discusses how foresight can contribute to the entire policy cycle from agenda setting to evaluation. It emphasizes that foresight designs must always be customized and that foresight tools should not be the first step, but should engage stakeholders. Key methods discussed include scenarios, roadmaps, and integrating different foresight techniques. Case studies from Chile and the IMS 2020 project are also summarized.
This document outlines common challenges faced by the UN in developing more impact-oriented monitoring and evaluation systems, and provides potential solutions. It notes that while some UN agencies conduct impact evaluations, many evaluations do not fully address attribution of impacts. It then presents examples of approaches that strengthen causal logic and frameworks to better assess attribution and aggregate evidence of impacts across levels, such as the GEF's Review of Outcome to Impact model and UNDP's meta-reviews of country program evaluations.

7. Research Structure
ICT-irst is organized into three Research Lines (RL) and
three High Impact Initiatives (HII)
The Research Lines group units and
research projects with different
expertise but having common
themes and challenges, in order to
create a shared direction,
language, approach, infrastructure
and technologies.
High Impact Initiatives aim at
impacting on territory, market and
society in a systematic and
proactive way, integrating research
with business and impact on
territory.

9. Risks and Open Source Software
Insufficient risk management has been reported (see
Gartner report in 2016) as one of the topmost mistakes
to avoid when implementing OSS-based solutions
Great opportunity
Possible risks
– Licenses of the components and integration
– Quality of the software components
– Intgration of the components in existing sofware
– Maintenance and evolution of the software

18. PMI-NIC and FBK for RISCOSS
Common interest in the problem of risk management
RISCOSS has a focused topic on OSS
Exploring two directions:
– Risk in OSS in IT companies where PMI members are active
– Use of the RISCOSS method for other risk related problems
19. Preparing the evaluation
Agreement between PMI-NIC and FBK to start the
research activity
Then a call for volunteers:
– We had 6 volunteers that participated in the experience
– Volunteers are not new to the risk evaluation
– But are new in risk analysis with automated tools
Identification of a project manager from Project
Management Office of PMI-NIC for the RISCOSS
evaluation activity
A meeting to:
– explain the methodology
– make a demo of some of the functionalities of the platform
The evaluation
20. Steps for the evaluation
The volunteers are trained to use the platform
Evaluate risks on:
– predefined scenarios
– scenarios from their daily experience
Report the evaluation of the experience via a
questionnaire
– Replying to closed questions (in a [1,5] scale, 3 is neutral)
– Adding comments especially related to the actual
possibility of using the platform in the PM activity
21. Evaluation results 1/3
Usefulness of the method and supporting platform
– Using RISCOSS would enable to make decisions more
quickly, efficiently and effectively (on average 3.66, 4 and
3.83)
– Using the system it would increase the productivity (on
average 3.3)
– In general having a tool that supports in making decisions
is useful (on average 4.16)
22. Evaluation results 2/3
Interaction with the RISCOSS functionalities
– The objective of the risk management process in the
platform was clear (on average 3.66)
– Learning to operate the RISCOSS would be NOT so easy (on
average 2.66)
23. Evaluation results 3/3
Comments
– Appreciated the method and the possibility to have a level
of automation in risk assessment
– Appreciated the possibility to specify new risk models
– Some scepticism on the possibility to have a completely
automated risk assessment
– Possibility to exploit it in other fields (e.g., mechanical
engineering, logistic) where it is possible to specify new
risk models
24. Conclusion
Great human experience
Allowed the RISCOSS team to enter in contact with a
different environment with respect to the typical IT
area
About the questions
– Allowed to get an important feedback on the real
usefulness and problems of the RISCOSS methodology and
platform
About the comments
– New ideas
– New possible risk models
– New contexts for the application
