Technical debt - why the term causes more confusion than clarity. And how to do it better.
Technical debt - why the term causes more confusion than clarity. And how to do it better.

Are we software engineers really clear what we mean when we talk about technical debt? "Sure", is the answer, "it's about smells, bugs, need for refactoring, missing tests ...".

Architecture Refactoring and Modernization

Transforming your own software system into microservices? Independently of microservices, we software engineers should also better separate existing code along functionalities in order to achieve a more modular software architecture.

AI - What could it do for existing software systems (Brownfield) and their further development?

AI for testing to generate test code or AI for coding (see Copilot) to suggest good code examples; that is almost state-of-the-art. But isn't something missing?

Attribute Profiles in Earthquake Damage Identification from Very High Resolution Post Event Image

For an accurate earthquake damage assessment from very high resolution (VHR) images, contextual relations between pixels need to be included in conjunction with spectral information during the classification.
