Abstract:
Information technologies (IT) and its software engineering branch are an important part of the modern economy and its ongoing digitalization. At the same time, they are influenced by the economy as well and have formed their own economic and business fields with plenty of specifics in the recent past. However, this area still remains risky for investments and, in some areas, poorly studied. Especially one of the economic principles, models, techniques, and their specifics in some local national environments like the Slovenian one. Understanding them can significantly improve the operation of the area and work there as well as reduce the number of problems and issues arising. For this reason, it is important to conduct structured studies of the theme both on the global and national levels. The research presented is of a consecutive qualitative nature. The first part is represented with a scoping literature review of global software engineering economics, its trends, and specifics. Then following the second part: a narrative literature review of the selected topics in the Slovenian environment based on the findings of the first part. The results has shown both similarities and deviations in national economy. Some of the latter, like public sector-related specifics, need additional particular consideration on the local level, and some of them, like digital piracy- and sustainability-related cause worries and identify challenges for the future of the software engineering sector in the country. The findings of the research can be utilized by professionals employed in the sphere to improve their understanding and knowledge about the economics of the business area both globally and locally. Also, they can be used for the promotion and improvement of the studied concepts in Slovenia and as a good starting point for continuing research works on the topics analyzed.

Abstract:
Purpose The research on people and project factors is found extensively in general but not specific to software engineering. Secondly, the existing research has not concentrated on the communication and time complexity of the teams on software economics. The purpose this paper is to develop a model to investigate and quantify the impact of time pressure (TP) on software economics through the communication influence of software team sizes (TS). Design/methodology/approach A research model and five hypotheses are developed based on the gaps in the literature. The data set from International Software Benchmarking Standards Group repository is used for testing the hypotheses. Findings Important findings include: smaller TS tends to exert less TP on average; TP is directly proportional to software economics, however; and TP does not affect the productivity required for the software. Research limitations/implications The study has the following implications: Selection of an appropriate TS for project completion that ensures minimum pressure on team members; and maximize software outcomes in stress-free environment. Practical implications This work is useful for organizations carrying out software projects with teamwork. The project managers can benefit from the results while planning the team factors for achieving the project goals. Social implications The results uphold not to exert pressure on the team as it will not only affect the duly completion of the project but also the well-being of employees. Originality/value The paper is the first one where the proposition of TP estimation is done using TS and communication complexity, and empirically evaluating the impact of TP on four major software economics are the major key contributions of this research work.

Abstract:
Estimates predict a global deficit of 4 million software engineers by 2025, further complicated by the software engineering (SE) industry's escalating use of artificial intelligence (AI). To tackle this issue, our research suggests that computer science (CS) curricula in middle and high schools need to be updated to incorporate SE industry segments that significantly employ AI. This strategic curriculum alignment is significant for preparing a workforce equipped to meet future industry demands. Our initial analysis involved reviewing nine international AI education guidelines to evaluate current methods for integrating AI into SE education. The findings indicated a pronounced lack of specific guidance connecting AI applications in the SE industry with educational content. To address this, we performed a systematic literature review of 12 research papers focusing on AI's role across the SE industry, followed by multiple rounds of inductive content analysis. An industry segment was deemed "essential" if it was referenced in 75% or more of the papers' findings. Through this method, we identified 10 essential SE industry segments for inclusion in CS education: software development, software maintenance, process improvement, software economics, knowledge management, project management, software testing, software security, quality assurance, and deployment and operations (DevOps). These findings led to the creation of the AI-USE (Artificial Intelligence Usage in Software Engineering) framework, which maps these 10 key segments to the predominant uses of SE in the industry as identified in the literature. Further inductive content analysis helped us develop subsegments for these essential areas. Ongoing framework development involves refining these subsegments and gathering feedback from industry and academic professionals. We anticipate that the fully developed AI-USE framework will significantly enhance SE education, equipping the next generation of software engineers with the AI proficiency required to address the industry’s evolving demands.

Abstract:
Abstract Precision agriculture serves as a crucial solution to address the challenges of food security and agriculture sustainability. It provides significant benefits and enables effective monitoring of agriculture throughout the entire supply chain using a technology-driven approach that prioritizes internet connectivity and leverages big data. A noteworthy application of precision agriculture is the Mini Plant Factory, where plants are cultivated in closed systems with artificial lighting. The development of the Mini Plant Factory requires an economic feasibility analysis as a determinant of technology viability before widespread implementation, aiming to promote agriculture sustainability. The Software Cost Estimation Model (SCEM) assesses software development’s cost and time requirements. Engineering economics evaluates economic feasibility using metrics like NPV, BCR, IRR, PBP, and BEP methods. Function Point Analysis for UMPF software development estimates a cost of Rp 33,052,414, equivalent to 1,311 man-hours. Investment feasibility analysis considers the utilization of UMPF as viable, with an NPV of IDR 46,938,615, BCR of 1.08, IRR of 28%, and projected profitability within four years. Precision agriculture strategically addresses complex agricultural challenges, fostering sustainability with innovations such as the UMPF. The SCEM and engineering economics confirm the feasibility and rationale for implementing UMPF technology, providing essential insights for sustainable agricultural practices.

Abstract:
Abstract Introducing smart greenhouse technology in tropical agricultural in Indonesia has the potential to bring about substantial advantages, such as higher crop yields, decreased water consumption, and enhanced food security. Nevertheless, the feasibility of this technology must be evaluated before it can be widely adopted. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the viability of smart greenhouse technology in using the engineering economics and software cost estimation model (SCEM), consider the fixed and variable cost for operational, and effort for developing the supporting modules. The findings of this study suggest that the investment in Smart Greenhouse technology is economically viable and financially justified. The Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 11% exceeds the 10% discount rate, Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) of 1.16 signifies that the discounted value of benefits surpasses costs over the project lifetime, with the economics return 16% higher than the break-even level. The Smart Greenhouse investment will become profitable after five years, with positive returns above the minimum threshold. The SCEM analysis shows that the software development workload is significant for some modules, such as Smart Agri Engrow and Smart Agri Nutrigrow. These software cost estimates can now be used for budgeting, planning, and assessing the feasibility of the Smart Greenhouse technology implementation.

Abstract:
In this thesis a method for selecting test cases for test automation is developed and evaluated. Existing methods from the literature has been reviewed and modified resulting in the proposed method, a decision tree containing 23 factors grouped into 8 decision points. The decision tree has been used and evaluated in an industrial setting. The economic benefits were calculated with return on investment and the organisational benefits were measured in a survey at a software producing company. The result was that automated tests, selected with the decision tree, provided economic benefits after 0.5 to 4 years, these tests were also found leading to 3 organisational benefits: less human effort when testing, reduction in cost and allowing for shorter release cycles.

Entre os fatores que contribuem para isso, estão os obstáculos econômicos enfrentados pelas empresas, com uma clara preocupação sobre os custos para desenvolver software para e com reuso. Atualmente, as decisões relacionadas com reuso são tratadas sob um ponto de vista econômico, devido ao fato do desenvolvimento de software reutilizável ser considerado pelas organizações como um investimento. Além disso, a adoção de linhas de produto de software dentro desse contexto traz à tona alguns inibidores de reuso, como por exemplo, a aplicação dos modelos de custo para reuso de forma restrita, a falta de uma estratégia para a análise de investimentos, e o fato que poucos modelos de custo possuem uma abordagem baseada na utilização de cenários de reuso. Nesse contexto, esse trabalho apresenta um modelo integrado de custo para engenharia de linhas de produto, com o objetivo de auxiliar as organizações em seus processos de tomada de decisões na avaliação de investimentos em reuso. Os fundamentos para o modelo foram baseados em uma vasta pesquisa sobre modelos de custo para reuso e sua especialização para linhas de produto de software. O modelo apresenta a definição de funções de custo e benefícios, cenários de reuso e uma estratégia de investimento para linhas de produto.

Abstract:
The aim of this work has been to suggest e-commerce implementations to a partially complete web shop using the script language PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor and the related framework Symfony. The motivation behind the work has been the rapidly changing requirements which web sites have seen during the past few years as a result of the introduction of smart phones and tablets. This in turn led to the company behind the web shop Persiennbutiken needing a new web site.   In addition to taking the latest web design trends into consideration, the work is also studying behavioural economics in order to provide a solution which not only work, but also helps increasing profit with the help of clever technology. The importance of relevant statistics when developing new features is also highlighted and how to gather that statistics in a non-intrusive way.   Each suggested implementation is measured against quite a few performance measures emphasising functionality, performance and security. All very important aspects when building a web shop as is seen in this report.   The results indicate that the suggested implementations are able to fulfil the set requirements to a varying degree with different estimated development time. This leads to a recommended final solution which tries to balance development time versus features, relying on existing libraries where possible.   Finally, the report also suggests a new way of dealing with database cache invalidation when using Symfony in conjunction with the object-relational mapping tool Doctrine.

Abstract:
Sustainability in the software and Information Technology (IT) industry has previously been discussed by practitioners mostly with a focus on maintainability and extensibility. In turn, the ecological and environmental dimensions of sustainability have been neglected. Previous research has shown that there are obstacles in the industry in terms of knowledge, experience, and support. Lack of knowledge stems from a lack of tools to detect and determine factors that affect environmental sustainability in software development, such as energy consumption. Furthermore, examining employees’motivations, attitudes, and discretionary behaviours is important to understand how implementation can be enabled and sustained. The purpose of this study is to find practices and tools for achieving environmental sustainability in software development as well as understanding what factors are hindering software engineers from adopting sustainable practices and tools that already exist. A qualitative single case study was conducted with semi-structured interviews as the primary method for data collection. The interviews were performed with individuals with various roles within software engineering as well as their managers. The findings show that the focus on environmental sustainability in software development is insufficient as for now. Practices, such as, reduction of CPU cycles and inactivating idle programs are suggested as environmentally friendly. Additionally, the findings display hinders in areas such as responsibility, requirements, and knowledge. Organizations and their stakeholders have to prioritize and work against these hindrances in order to succeed with environmental efforts.<br>Hållbarhet inom mjukvaru- och Informationsteknologi (IT) -industrin har tidigare diskuterats av utövare mestadels med ett fokus på underhållning och tillbyggnad av mjukvara. Den ekologiska och miljömässiga hållbarheten har därför blivit försummad. Tidigare forskning har påvisat att det finns hinder i industrin gällande kunskap, erfarenhet, och stöd. Brist på kunskap härrör från en brist på verktyg för att upptäcka och fastställa faktorer som påverkar miljömässig hållbarhet inom mjukvaruutveckling, så som energiförbrukning. Dessutom, att undersöka de anställdas motivationer, attityder, och beteende är viktigt för att förstå hur en implementation kan möjliggöras samt upprätthållas. Syftet med denna studie är att hitta praktiker och verktyg för att uppnå miljömässig hållbarhet inom mjukvaruutveckling samt att förstå vilka faktorer som hindrar mjukvaruutvecklare att uppta hållbara principer och verktyg som redan existerar. Studien är genomfört som en kvalitativ fallstudie med semistrukturerade intervjuer som primär metod för datainsamling. Intervjuerna var genomförda med individer inom olika roller för mjukvaruutveckling samt deras chefer. Resultatet visar på att det finns ett otillräckligt fokus på miljömässig hållbarhet inom mjukvaruutveckling för tillfället. Praktiker så som reduktion av CPU cykler och inaktivering av program på tomgång (idle programs) är antydda att vara hållbara ur ett miljöperspektiv. Dessutom visar resultatet på att det finns hinder inom områden såsom ansvar, krav, och kunskap. Organisationer och deras intressenter behöver prioritera och arbeta mot dessa hinder för att lyckas med miljömässiga insatser.

Abstract:
Das Software Product Line Engineering (SPLE) ist ein ganzheitlicher Ansatz zur Entwicklung und Vermarktung von Software-Produktlinien auf Basis von Software-Systemfamilien. Eine in frühen Phasen des SPLE durchzuführende Aktivität ist das Scoping, bei dem die zu realisierenden Produkte mit den zwischen ihnen bestehenden Wiederverwendungspotentialen identifiziert werden. Bei der Durchführung des Scopings steht der Produkt-Manager vor dem Problem einen Ausgleich zwischen den Bedürfnissen der Kunden und dem Aufwand der Entwicklung zu finden. Durch die bestehenden Wiederverwendungspotentiale bei Software-Systemfamilien wird die Entscheidung zusätzlich erschwert. Aufgrund der bestehenden Komplexität der Entscheidung, wird in Literatur und Praxis eine Unterstützung in Form einer statistisch-mathematischen Optimierung gefordert. Dieser Forderung nimmt sich die vorliegende Arbeit an. In ihr werden mit der Konstruktion eines Modells gewinnbeeinflussender Faktoren, einer Methode zur wertbasierten Portfolio-Optimierung und eines Prototyps zur Unterstützung der wertbasierten Portfolio-Optimierung und der anschließenden Evaluation dieser Artefakte zwei Fragen adressiert. Erstens wird geprüft, ob die Optimierung von Produkt-Portfolios bei Software-Produktlinien mit statistisch-mathematischen Verfahren unterstützt werden kann. Zweitens wird geprüft, ob die statistisch-mathematische Optimierung von Produkt-Portfolios eine akzeptierte Unterstützung von Software-Anbietern sein kann. Die Arbeit ordnet sich mit ihren Fragen in die Forschung zum Produkt-Management bei Software-Produktlinien ein und trägt die vorgenannten Artefakte bei.

Abstract:
As globalisation is now a reality for most large organizations, and the competition for most businesses moving faster and becoming tougher, there is a need for engineering projects to deliver results faster in a more complex environment than ever, but also for companies to collaborate to utilize a wider array of competencies and to reach new markets with their products. This case study analyses which difficulties arise in interorganizational requirements engineering, and what organizations can do to alleviate the effects of those difficulties, as well as suggest which actions are most effective to focus on. The conclusion of this study is that the difficulties can be divided into three categories, namely interpersonal, structural and processual. Each category concerns a different set of people and require different actions for increased effectiveness. For the interpersonal category, prioritized efforts should be to establish a shared vocabulary and use techniques to build shared contextual understanding. For structural difficulties, evaluating management and control structures and the implementation of the project’s strategy should be prioritized. In the processual category, codifying existing processes to enable improvements, defining information artefacts and aligning information flows should be of high priority<br>Globaliseringens effekter är idag en verklighet för de flesta stora organisationer, och konkurrensen för företag blir hårdare och förändrar sig allt snabbare. Därför blir det allt viktigare för utvecklingsprojekt att anpassa sig till en allt mer komplex miljö och leverera resultat snabbare än tidigare, men också att samarbeta mer med andra företag för att såväl utnyttja bredare kompetens som att nå nya marknader. Den här studien undersöker utmaningarna i interorganisatoriskt kravställningsarbete, vad företag kan göra för att möta de utmaningarna, såväl som att föreslå vilka handlingar som ger mest effekt för ett bättre kravställningsarbete. Slutsatsen av studien är att utmaningarna kan delas in i tre kategorier, nämligen personorienterade, strukturella och processorienterade. Varje kategori rör en viss mängd deltagare i projektet och kräver olika handlingar för ökad effektivitet. För att minska utmaningar i den personorienterade kategorin bör ett projekt prioritera att använda tekniker för att skapa ett gemensamt språkbruk och att använda tekniker för att bygga upp gemensam kontextuell förståelse. För strukturella utmaningar bör det prioriteras att utvärdera styrnings- och kontrollstrukturer, samt hur projektets strategi har implementerats och förankrats bland deltagarna. I den processorienterade kategorin bör det prioriteras att kodifiera existerande processer för att möjliggöra förbättringsarbete, definiera informationsartefakter och att försäkra sig om att informationsflöden är i linje med varandra mellan företagen, så att rätt information möts vid rätt tillfällen.

Abstract:
A software development manager will often need to make decisions about the allocation of resources across a number of different development projects. These projects may vary in size, in importance, and in the potential value to the organisation of the software that is to be produced. Based upon these and other considerations, a manager might consider an increase in the resource allocation for a particular project. They might also consider changing the size of a planned software release by including or excluding a number of features. In doing this, the manager will need to consider economies, or diseconomies, of scale: if a project is given twice the resources, will the software be delivered in half the time? Will a particular project remain on schedule, despite a headcount reduction of 50%, if the size of the next deliverable is reduced also by 50%? If a software product would earn the company a certaiD amount if delivered in one month, and a lesser amount if delivered after that time, how much resource should be allocated to its development? Existing effort prediction models provide some guidance, but fail to agree about the extent, or even the existence, of economies and diseconomies of scale. The models are also limited to effort and scheduling predictions for a single project; there is no provision for the optimization of resource allocation, release sizing, and release scheduling across a portfolio of projects. This dissertation uses a new prediction model, derived from a large database of empirical results, to show the existence of an economy of scale with respect to project size, and a diseconomy of scale with respect to team size. It uses this model as a basis for the comparison and validation of the two leading prediction models, and shows that a failure to address the diseconomy of scale to team size can lead to significant errors. Drawing upon the tools and techniques of financial portfolio management, the model is used as the basis of an "economic framework" for software development optimization, a set of tools for optimizing resource allocation and release sizing across a portfolio of projects, in terms of the net value obtained from the software produced. This framework is extended to address declining marginal value and to provide an indication of risk and variability across a project portfolio.

Abstract:
This paper tries to identify and understand the human social obstacles for developing quality software. These include lip-service, cutting corners, deception and effects of internal politics. These obstacles can undermine the good intentions behind the software methodologies. The paper draws from the literature in different disciplines and uses an ethnographic research methodology to create a rich picture of the concerning aspects in the framework of one software development company in India. What stands out among the findings are that internal audits has mainly focused on finding errors in documentation procedures but study of the actual practices has often been shallow. In addition the understanding of business risks by the internal auditors have often been weak. Context. The human based obstacles affecting Software Development Methodology analysed in the context of an ISO 9000 quality system in an Indian Software Development company working mainly with Swedish companies. Objectives. Identifying and increasing the understanding of intrinsic negative social aspects such as lip service, cheating and politics which are affecting the results of Software Development Methodologies and if possible suggest some means to mitigate them. In particular to create a deeper understanding of why people cheat and pay lip service to methodologies and to try to understand the political aspects of methodology and quality systems. There are other positive social aspects, but they are not considered since the objective is about understanding the negative aspects and possibly mitigate them. Methods. Ethnographic research using analysis of ISO 9000 and design artefacts, semi-structured interviews, participation in internal audits, Results. Most focus in audits was on documentation and very less focus on underlying methodologies, some indications of lip-service to process and processes were also mainly managed on a higher level in the organization while the understanding and practices were less well established on lower level. It was hard to get a grip on the internal political aspects since the perception of the subject in the informants view was that it is mainly malicious and therefore embarrassing to speak about. Some conflicts between internal quality goals and customers’ needs were also identified. Conclusions. An ethnographic research methodology gives a rich picture. The analysis gives deeper understanding of the problem areas, but not necessary solutions. The author suggests that at the heart of the problem is a difference in world view. Software professionals generally tend to resolve [technical] problems using a reductionist approach, while these intricate challenges cannot easily be resolved by this approach. A more holistic systemic approach is required and while the software methodology is useful to structure the development it does not resolve these dysfunctions. They have to be resolved on another level. It was also found that further studies is required in particular to better understand Internal politics, the effect of Positive and Negative Incentives, the effect of software metrics on quality performance and subjectivity in customers’ perception and expectation.<br>Uppsatsen försöker förstå mänskliga sociala hinder för att utveckla programvara med hög kvalitet. Dessa hinder inkluderar &quot;läpparnas bekännelser&quot;, ta genvägar, vilseleda och internpolitik. Sådana hinder kan underminera utvecklingsmetoder. Denna uppsats bygger på literatur från olika discipliner och använder etnografisk forskningsmetodik för att skapa en rik bild av dessa oroande aspekter inom ramen för ett IT-företag i Indien. Vad står ut är att intern kvalitetsrevision fokuserar för mycket på att finna fel i dokumentationsprocesser medan revision av hur utvecklingsarbetet faktiskt sker har varit för ytligt. Dessutom har de interna revisorernas förståelse av affärsrisker varit svag.

Abstract:
The issues of ensuring the stability and safety of energy generating equipment, including through various innovative aspects of cyber security, are currently extremely relevant; Energy equipment when used within the framework of construction projects is quite autonomous and issues of operational management and online control can be fully resolved within the capacity of their internal processors and controllers. In many cases, issues of computer modeling of the operating cycle parameters of such equipment, with the correct and economical formulation of the problem, can also be solved using the above resources. Construction and Electricity companies have significant engineering resources to optimize the processes of electricity production, including using the latest fuel mixtures of diesel fuel and methanol, with a tendency to increase the proportions of methanol in the fuel mixture up to 95-100%. Changing the type and kind of fuel requires prompt restructuring of the operation of all control and management systems and loading special software onto these systems that takes into account all the nuances and changes in the operating parameters of the equipment and settings, and calibration of the control and monitoring systems; Production experience and practice have shown that mobile and very simple systems are required that can ensure the operation of equipment in an autonomous mode, without involving additional data carriers in the circuits; In this regard, it is necessary to note the fact that, having familiarized ourselves with the most interesting integrative inventions and informative publications of the famous innovation specialist Dmitry Starkov on the subject of high-tech ecosystems in the construction industry, our working group recognized the utmost necessity and promise in testing the data carrier encoding system in accordance with his proposals and recommendations; As can be seen from the above publications, Dmitry Starkov's developments in this area as a whole ensure compliance with all of the above technical requirements and a fairly significant number of both independent requirements and their combinations, as well as new requirements that open up a new and promising technological field - high-tech ecosystems and infrastructures in construction projects using magnetic resonance, non-contact control methods and nanoscale measurements.

Abstract:
Bridges often serve as key links in local and national transportation networks. Bridge closures can result in severe costs, not only in the form of repair or replacement, but also in the form of economic losses related to medium- and long-term interruption of businesses and disruption to surrounding communities. In addition, continuous functionality of bridges is very important after any seismic event for emergency response and recovery purposes. Considering the importance of these structures, the associated structural design philosophy is shifting from collapse prevention to maintaining functionality in the aftermath of moderate to strong earthquakes, referred to as “resiliency” in earthquake engineering research. Moreover, the associated construction philosophy is being modernized with the utilization of accelerated bridge construction (ABC) techniques, which strive to reduce the impact of construction on traffic, society, economy and on-site safety. This report presents two bridge systems that target the aforementioned issues. A study that combined numerical and experimental research was undertaken to characterize the seismic performance of these bridge systems. The first part of the study focuses on the structural system-level response of highway bridges that incorporate a class of innovative connecting devices called the “V-connector,”, which can be used to connect two components in a structural system, e.g., the column and the bridge deck, or the column and its foundation. This device, designed by ACII, Inc., results in an isolation surface at the connection plane via a connector rod placed in a V-shaped tube that is embedded into the concrete. Energy dissipation is provided by friction between a special washer located around the V-shaped tube and a top plate. Because of the period elongation due to the isolation layer and the limited amount of force transferred by the relatively flexible connector rod, bridge columns are protected from experiencing damage, thus leading to improved seismic behavior. The V-connector system also facilitates the ABC by allowing on-site assembly of prefabricated structural parts including those of the V-connector. A single-column, two-span highway bridge located in Northern California was used for the proof-of-concept of the proposed V-connector protective system. The V-connector was designed to result in an elastic bridge response based on nonlinear dynamic analyses of the bridge model with the V-connector. Accordingly, a one-third scale V-connector was fabricated based on a set of selected design parameters. A quasi-static cyclic test was first conducted to characterize the force-displacement relationship of the V-connector, followed by a hybrid simulation (HS) test in the longitudinal direction of the bridge to verify the intended linear elastic response of the bridge system. In the HS test, all bridge components were analytically modeled except for the V-connector, which was simulated as the experimental substructure in a specially designed and constructed test setup. Linear elastic bridge response was confirmed according to the HS results. The response of the bridge with the V-connector was compared against that of the as-built bridge without the V-connector, which experienced significant column damage. These results justified the effectiveness of this innovative device. The second part of the study presents the HS test conducted on a one-third scale two-column bridge bent with self-centering columns (broadly defined as “resilient columns” in this study) to reduce (or ultimately eliminate) any residual drifts. The comparison of the HS test with a previously conducted shaking table test on an identical bridge bent is one of the highlights of this study. The concept of resiliency was incorporated in the design of the bridge bent columns characterized by a well-balanced combination of self-centering, rocking, and energy-dissipating mechanisms. This combination is expected to lead to minimum damage and low levels of residual drifts. The ABC is achieved by utilizing precast columns and end members (cap beam and foundation) through an innovative socket connection. In order to conduct the HS test, a new hybrid simulation system (HSS) was developed, utilizing commonly available software and hardware components in most structural laboratories including: a computational platform using Matlab/Simulink [MathWorks 2015], an interface hardware/software platform dSPACE [2017], and MTS controllers and data acquisition (DAQ) system for the utilized actuators and sensors. Proper operation of the HSS was verified using a trial run without the test specimen before the actual HS test. In the conducted HS test, the two-column bridge bent was simulated as the experimental substructure while modeling the horizontal and vertical inertia masses and corresponding mass proportional damping in the computer. The same ground motions from the shaking table test, consisting of one horizontal component and the vertical component, were applied as input excitations to the equations of motion in the HS. Good matching was obtained between the shaking table and the HS test results, demonstrating the appropriateness of the defined governing equations of motion and the employed damping model, in addition to the reliability of the developed HSS with minimum simulation errors. The small residual drifts and the minimum level of structural damage at large peak drift levels demonstrated the superior seismic response of the innovative design of the bridge bent with self-centering columns. The reliability of the developed HS approach motivated performing a follow-up HS study focusing on the transverse direction of the bridge, where the entire two-span bridge deck and its abutments represented the computational substructure, while the two-column bridge bent was the physical substructure. This investigation was effective in shedding light on the system-level performance of the entire bridge system that incorporated innovative bridge bent design beyond what can be achieved via shaking table tests, which are usually limited by large-scale bridge system testing capacities.
