Software repositories are an essential source of information for software engineering research on topics such as project evolution and developer collaboration. Appropriate mining tools and analysis pipelines are therefore an indispensable…

This paper examines a new parallel computation model called bulk synchronous farm (BSF) that focuses on estimating the scalability of compute-intensive iterative algorithms aimed at cluster computing systems. In the BSF model, a computer is…

Efficient resource allocation is a key challenge in modern cloud computing. Over-provisioning leads to unnecessary costs, while under-provisioning risks performance degradation and SLA violations. This work presents an artificial…

Usability is an increasing concern in open source software (OSS). Given the recent changes in the OSS landscape, it is imperative to examine the OSS contributors' current valued factors, practices, and challenges concerning usability. We…

Component-Based Development (CBD) is a popular approach to mitigating the costs of creating software systems. However, it is not clear to what extent the core component selection and adaptation activities of CBD can be implemented to…

Refactoring aims at improving code non-functional attributes without modifying its external behavior. Previous studies investigated the motivations behind refactoring by surveying developers. With the aim of generalizing and complementing…

Beyond scratch coding, exploiting large-scale code repositories (e.g., GitHub) for practical tasks is vital in real-world software development, yet current benchmarks rarely evaluate code agents in such authentic, workflow-driven scenarios.…

Background: Open source requires participation of volunteer and commercial developers (users) in order to deliver functional high-quality components. Developers both contribute effort in the form of patches and demand effort from the…

Through our four years experiments on students' Scrum based agile software development (ASD) process, we have gained deep understanding into the human factors of agile methodology. We designed an agile project management tool - the HASE…

We propose an automated approach to bug assignment to developers in large open-source software projects. This way, we assist human bug triagers who are in charge of finding the best developer with the right level of expertise in a…

Context: Fault localization (FL) is the key activity while debugging a program. Any improvement to this activity leads to significant improvement in total software development cost. There is an internal linkage between the program spectrum…

The software development process is characterized by an iterative cycle of continuous functionality implementation and debugging, essential for the enhancement of software quality and adaptability to changing requirements. This process…

In the research of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), traffic simulation is a key procedure for the evaluation of new methods and optimization of strategies. However, existing traffic simulation systems face two challenges. First,…

Teaching Computer Science (CS) students how to comprehend and maintain legacy code bases is a critical challenge in software engineering education. While Generative AI (GenAI) assistants like GitHub Copilot improve task completion speed and…

The design of software development tools follows from what the developers of such tools believe is true about software development. A key aspect of such beliefs is the size of code contributions (commits) to a software project. In this…

Established Open Source Software (OSS) projects can grow in size if new developers join, but also the number of OSS projects can grow if developers choose to found new projects. We discuss to what extent an established model for firm growth…

Modern version control systems such as Git or SVN include bug tracking mechanisms, through which developers can highlight the presence of bugs through bug reports, i.e., textual descriptions reporting the problem and what are the steps that…

We conduct the first comprehensive study of the behavioral factors which predict leader emergence within open source software (OSS) virtual teams. We leverage the full history of developers' interactions with their teammates and projects at…

Background: Machine Learning (ML) systems rely on data to make predictions, the systems have many added components compared to traditional software systems such as the data processing pipeline, serving pipeline, and model training. Existing…

To build large scale software systems, Component Based Software Engineering (CBSE) has played a vital role. The current practices of software industry demands more development of a software within time and budget which is highly productive…
