Currently, agile is one method often used in software development. However, implementing agile is not easy. Many factors can affect the successful implementation of agile software development (ASD). One of the factors that often arise is individuals/people. Previous research has proven that the people factor is one of the factors that can increase the success of ASD implementation. However, only one study focuses on the people factor that researchers in Portugal have done. Therefore, this study attempts to identify the effect of people's factors on the success of ASD in Indonesia. Respondents in this study are individuals who have or are currently using ASD. Data collection in this study used a questionnaire and validated the data using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings of this study indicate that team capability influences the success of ASD implementation, while personal characteristics, societal culture, and customer involvement have no effect. In addition, other findings personal characteristics can affect team capabilities and customer involvement.

Pervasive computing environments require applications that reduce user distraction from other tasks. Context-awareness attempts to address this problem by making applications more adaptive and autonomous. Context-aware pervasive systems rely on information about the context and user preferences to guide their behaviour. However, context-aware applications do not always behave as users expect, and can cause users to feel loss of control over their applications. To mitigate these problems, context-aware systems must provide mechanisms to strike a suitable balance between user control and software autonomy. This has implications on the way that middleware for contextaware systems must be designed. Most current middleware solutions for context aware systems support the gathering and management of context information, while some also support the management and evaluation of user preferences; however, few middleware solutions address the issue of providing transparency (to facilitate user understanding of application actions) and user control. This paper describes the most relevant work in this area, as well as ongoing research on extending a previously developed middleware to better support transparency and control.
