Studying the source code of scientific research
Pages 59 - 62
Abstract
Just as inspecting the source code of programs tells us a lot about the process of programming, inspecting the "source code" of scientific papers informs on the process of scientific writing. We report on our study of the source of tens of thousands of papers from Computer Science and Mathematics.

Studying the fix-time for bugs in large open source projects
Promise '11: Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Predictive Models in Software EngineeringBackground: Bug fixing lies at the core of most software maintenance efforts. Most prior studies examine the effort needed to fix a bug (fix-effort). However, the effort needed to fix a bug may not correlate with the calendar time needed to fix it (fix-...
Detect Related Bugs from Source Code Using Bug Information
COMPSAC '10: Proceedings of the 2010 IEEE 34th Annual Computer Software and Applications ConferenceOpen source projects often maintain open bug repositories during development and maintenance, and the reporters often point out straightly or implicitly the reasons why bugs occur when they submit them. The comments about a bug are very valuable for ...
