Conducting controlled experiments about programming activities often requires the use of multiple tasks of similar difficulty. In previously reported work about a controlled exper...
It is a common understanding that identifying the same entity such as module, file, and function between revisions is important for software evolution related analysis. Most softw...
Scenarios have proven effective for eliciting, describing and validating software requirements; however, scenario management continues to be a significant challenge to practition...
Simulating chip-multiprocessor systems (CMP) can take a long time. For single-threaded workloads, earlier work has shown the utility of phase analysis, that is identification of r...
