Open Source Software (OSS) projects follow diverse lifecycle trajectories shaped by evolving patterns of contribution, coordination, and community engagement. Understanding these trajectories is essential for stakeholders seeking to assess…
Open software development provides software organizations access to infinite online resource supply. The resource supply is a pool of unknown workers who work from different location and time zone and are interested in performing various…
Distribution of software development is becoming more and more common in order to save the production cost and reduce the time to market. Large geographical distance, different time zones and cultural differences in distributed software…
In this paper, task offloading from vehicles with random velocities is optimized via a novel dynamic programming framework. Particularly, in a vehicular network with multiple vehicles and base stations (BSs), computing tasks of vehicles are…
In collaborative robotic applications, human and robot have to work together during a whole shift for executing a sequence of jobs. The performance of the human robot team can be enhanced by scheduling the right tasks to the human and the…
Today, software-intensive systems are increasingly being developed in a globally distributed way. However, besides its benefit, global development also bears a set of risks and problems. One critical factor for successful project management…
Domain-specific systems-on-chip (DSSoCs) aim at bridging the gap between application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and general-purpose processors. Traditional operating system (OS) schedulers can undermine the potential of DSSoCs…
Dynamic scheduling problems are important optimisation problems with many real-world applications. Since in dynamic scheduling not all information is available at the start, such problems are usually solved by dispatching rules (DRs), which…
Efficient issue assignment in software development relates to faster resolution time, resources optimization, and reduced development effort. To this end, numerous systems have been developed to automate issue assignment, including AI and…
In open source project governance, there has been a lot of concern about how to measure developers' contributions. However, extremely sparse work has focused on enabling developers to improve their contributions, while it is significant and…
Efficient resource utilization and perfect user experience usually conflict with each other in cloud computing platforms. Great efforts have been invested in increasing resource utilization but trying not to affect users' experience for…
The complexity of software tasks and the uncertainty of crowd developer behaviors make it challenging to plan crowdsourced software development (CSD) projects. In a competitive crowdsourcing marketplace, competition for shared worker…
Open Source Software (OSS) development challenges traditional software engineering practices. In particular, OSS projects are managed by a large number of volunteers, working freely on the tasks they choose to undertake. OSS projects also…
In this paper, an operating system scheduling algorithm based on Double DQN (Double Deep Q network) is proposed, and its performance under different task types and system loads is verified by experiments. Compared with the traditional…
