Abstract

Developers benefit from enhanced productivity with GAI. Yet, often they question how to approach GAI development and how to integrate GAI to their systems. This article provides guidance for developing GAI software and developing software with GAI. Practical hints are shared from industrial settings.

Hints: is it better to give or wait to be asked?
ITS'10: Proceedings of the 10th international conference on Intelligent Tutoring Systems - Volume Part I

Many tutoring systems allow students to ask for hints when they need help solving problems, and this has been shown to be helpful. However, many students have trouble knowing when to ask for help or they prefer to guess rather than ask for and read a ...
Software development: what it is, what it should be, and how to get there

Developing large software systems is notoriously difficult and unpredictable. Software projects are often canceled, finish late and over budget, or yield low quality results --- setting software engineering apart from established engineering ...

In this research-in-progress we review existing studies and theories that focus on tailoring software development. Our purpose is to develop a more complete model of the tailoring process than is found in the current literature. In our theory, "...
