Dissertation: A Theory of Microservice Integration
Abstract Microservices are an architectural style for building scalable and maintainable software applications. These applications are composed of small and self-contained services that communicate over a network with each other. The loose coupling between microservices supports independent evolution and deployment, allowing teams to adopt the most suitable technologies for each service. However, this decomposition introduces […]Abstract Microservices are an architectural style for building scalable and maintainable software applications.

Dissertation: Open Collaborative Data Engineering With Subject-Matter Experts Using Domain-Speciﬁc Languages
Abstract: Open collaborative workflows are common, for example, in open-source software development or Wikipedia. They reduce costs for individual participants and can improve the overall quality of the result. A potential application domain for open collaboration is data engineering, especially for open data, which shares many qualities with open-source software as it can be freely […]

Dissertation: Creating Company-Led Open Source Consortia
Abstract: This thesis focuses on company-led open source (OS) consortia. Unlike community-led open source communities, company-led OS consortia are led by companies or organizations. Driver members of these consortia may include information technology firms or end-user companies from industries beyond the software sector. The objectives of this thesis are to identify the characteristics of company-led […]Abstract: This thesis focuses on company-led open source (OS) consortia.

Dissertation: Quantifying Inner Source Software Development for Business Process Usage
Abstract: Inner source refers to the application of open source development principles within corporate environments. Essentially, it involves embracing open collaboration and contribution without necessarily developing open source software. One fundamental concept borrowed from open source development is the practice of opening software projects to external contributions. In the realm of inner source, these contributions […]Abstract: Inner source refers to the application of open source development principles within corporate environments.

Dissertation: The QDAcity-RE-RS Method for Creating Complete, Consistent, and Traceable Requirements Specifications (Dr. Julia Mucha)
Abstract: Resolving issues that arise in a software project becomes more expensive as the project advances. Hence, it is crucial for a requirements engineer to develop a complete, consistent, and traceable requirements specification (RS). To create such a high-quality RS, the requirements engineer must develop a deep understanding of the problem domain. In science, researchers […]
