With the advent of open source software repositories the data available for defect prediction in source files increased tremendously. Although traditional statistics turned out t...
An approach to recommend a ranked list of developers to assist in performing software changes given a textual change request is presented. The approach employs a two-fold strategy...
Past software engineering literature has firmly established that software architectures and the associated code decay over time. Architectural decay is, potentially, a major issu...
In this paper we present a new perspective on the problem of complexity in software, using sound mathematical concepts from information theory such as Shannon’s Entropy [31]. We...
While many uses of mined software engineering data are automatic in nature, some techniques and studies either require, or can be improved, by manual methods. Unfortunately, manua...
