To understand the evolution of software researchers have developed a plethora of tools to parse, model, and analyze the history of systems. Despite their usefulness, a common down...
Defect density and defect prediction are essential for efficient resource allocation in software evolution. In an empirical study we applied data mining techniques for value seri...
High–dimensional optimization problems appear very often in demanding applications. Although evolutionary algorithms constitute a valuable tool for solving such problems, their ...
FOSS (Free and Open Source System) is repeatedly modied and reused by other FOSS or proprietary software systems. They are released to others under specic licenses whose terms and...
Most studies of software evolution have been performed on systems developed within a single company using traditional management techniques. With the widespread availability of se...
