Between Policy and Practice: GenAI Adoption in Agile Software Development Teams

Jan 11, 2026arXiv.org

This study reveals a systemic misalignment between the practical adoption of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in agile software development and existing organizational policies. Drawing on the Technology–Organization–Environment (TOE) framework, the research synthesizes findings from 17 semi-structured interviews and document analyses across three German companies, employing both within-case and cross-case thematic analysis. The results indicate that GenAI is predominantly leveraged for ideation, documentation, and code assistance, enhancing both efficiency and creativity, yet its deployment is constrained by data privacy concerns, high validation costs, and insufficient governance mechanisms. The study underscores the necessity of coherently aligning technological capabilities, organizational structures, and environmental contingencies within the TOE framework to enable compliant and effective GenAI integration, thereby offering both theoretical insights and practical pathways to bridge the gap between policy and practice.

Fluid Notarization: Verifiable Evolution of Concurrently Edited Structured Documents

Sep 16, 2026

"This study addresses the inadequacies in version management and verification within collaborative document editing for blockchain-based notarization. It proposes a fluid notarization model that treats the document's evolution as the object of notarization. By employing JSON-native delta-CRDTs, the model constructs a causal evolution graph, with identifiers of these graphs recorded on the blockchain to ensure the independent verifiability of document changes. The combination of CRDTs' deterministic convergence and the audit evidence provided by the blockchain enables notarization of the document's evolution rather than a single state. The effectiveness and advantages of this approach are validated through a prototype for collaborative editing of electronic health records."

Operationalizing the EU AI Act in Agile Software Development: A Guideline-Based Approach

Aug 17, 2026

This study addresses the absence of concrete mapping mechanisms for implementing the EU AI Act within agile teams. Employing a Design Science Research methodology, this work proposes a novel framework that translates abstract regulatory requirements into actionable agile compliance guidelines. Through a traffic light taxonomy and expert interviews, an action catalog comprising twelve practices covering roles and risk management was constructed. The results demonstrate that these guidelines are both comprehensible and relevant, establishing that compliance should be integrated into existing agile activities rather than treated as a parallel process. Ultimately, this research bridges the gap in regulatory operationalization, providing a reusable methodological foundation that enables agile teams to achieve compliance without compromising iterative efficiency.

Statistical stability of random potentials to thermal and quantum activation

Aug 07, 2026

This study addresses the inverse problem of inferring the statistical properties of an unknown, complex energy landscape from the dynamical response of a system traversing it, with particular emphasis on the stability of metastable states against thermal activation and quantum tunneling. By modeling the potential energy surface as a Gaussian random field and integrating path integral formalism with statistical mechanics, the work establishes—for the first time—a quantitative relationship between transition rates and the Green’s function of the underlying potential. Building on this framework, the authors derive the joint probability distribution of local potential characteristics—such as value, gradient, and curvature—and propose a novel paradigm for reconstructing the statistical structure of the energy landscape directly from observed activation dynamics. This approach provides a rigorous theoretical foundation for spectral modeling of complex energy landscapes in disordered and glassy systems.
