Research Paper: Ensuring Syntactic Interoperability Using Consumer-Driven Contract Testing
Abstract: Integrating services in service-based architectures is a major concern and challenge to their developers. A key problem is that today’s compilers cannot ensure syntactic interoperability of web APIs. Without further help, invalid calls surface only at runtime. Microservice-based architectures exacerbate this problem due to their use of polyglot software stacks and independent deployments. As […]Abstract: Integrating services in service-based architectures is a major concern and challenge to their developers.

Research Paper: Balancing Technology Heterogeneity in Microservice Architectures
Abstract: Microservices are a popular architectural style that allows systems to be built from a potentially large number of microservices, all of which can be developed independently and by their own teams. As a resulting benefit, development teams can choose the technologies optimal for their microservices, leading to a diversity of different programming languages, frameworks, […]

Research Paper: A Taxonomy of Microservice Integration Techniques
Abstract Context: Microservices have become an important architectural style for building robust and scalable software systems. A system’s functionality is split into independent units, the microservices, that communicate over a network and can be deployed independently. The shift of complexity into the integration layer necessitates enhanced collaboration among stakeholders, stressing the importance of effective communication. […]Abstract Context: Microservices have become an important architectural style for building robust and scalable software systems.

Research Paper: Why and how do organizations create user-led open source consortia? A systematic literature review
Abstract: Context: User-led open source (OS) consortia (foundations) consist of organizations from industries beyond the software industry collaborating to create open-source software solutions for their internal processes. Initially pioneered by higher education organizations in the 2000s, this concept has gained traction in recent years across various industries. Objective: This study has two research objectives. The […]Abstract: Context: User-led open source (OS) consortia (foundations) consist of organizations from industries beyond the software industry collaborating to create open-source software solutions for their internal processes.

Research Paper: An Empirical Study on the Effects of Jayvee, a Domain-Specific Language for Data Engineering, on Understanding Data Pipeline Architectures
Abstract: A large part of data science projects is spent on data engineering. Especially in open data contexts, data quality issues are prevalent and are often tackled by non-professional programmers. We introduce and evaluate Jayvee, a domain-specific language for data engineering aimed at reducing barriers to building data pipelines. We show that a structured DSL […]

Research Paper: Governance Practices for Open Source Foundations in the Healthcare Sector
Abstract: Open source (OS) foundations are non-profit organizations that support open-source software development projects. OS foundations can be categorized based on their membership and governance structures. This study focuses on vendor-led and user-led OS foundations operating in the healthcare sector. The study has two objectives. The first objective is to explore the similarities and differences […]Abstract: Open source (OS) foundations are non-profit organizations that support open-source software development projects.
