  • The Analysis of Peer Reviews among First-year Computer Science College Students

    Creator:
    Song, Yipeng
    Abstract:
    In computer science, peer review, also referred to as code review, is known to be an efficient technique to ensure quality when developing software projects in various industries. Peer review is one method for encouraging computer scientists benefit from each other by providing them with the opportunity to evaluate other...

  • A Comparative Study on How SVN and Git Affect Software Changes

    Creator:
    Codoban, Mihai
    Abstract:
    Distributed Version Control Systems (DVCS) have seen an increase in popularity relative to traditional Centralized Version Control Systems (CVCS). Yet we know little on whether VCS tools meet the needs of software developers when managing software change or whether developers are benefitting from the extra power of DVCS. Without such...

  • Hardware realization of OCB mode for efficient authenticated encryption

    Creator:
    Al Faresi, Ahmed
    Abstract:
    Authenticated-Encryption modes of operation have recently received great atten- tion amongst researchers. Such modes of operation provide both privacy and authentic- ity. A proposed mode in this category is the Offset Codebook mode (OCB) by Rogaway et al. This mode shows great substantial advantages over conventional modes. In the past...

  • Machine learning for improving the quality of citizen science data

    Creator:
    Yu, Jun
    Abstract:
    Citizen Science is a paradigm in which volunteers from the general public participate in scientific studies, often by performing data collection. This paradigm is especially useful if the scope of the study is too broad to be performed by a limited number of trained scientists. Although citizen scientists can contribute...

  • The Analysis of First Year Computer Science Design Documents

    Creator:
    Ernst, Shannon S.
    Abstract:
    Computer science is, at its core, about solving problems. The "Carry out the Plan" portion of problem solving is often examined and emphasized in CS 1 and CS 2, forgetting to emphasize the other important aspects of the problem solving process. This study focuses on the other problem-solving steps, which...

  • An Analysis of Students’ Self-efficacy and the Effectiveness of Peer Review in First-year CS Courses

    Creator:
    Jen, Funfay
    Abstract:
    Students’ success is one of the foremost objectives in higher education, and their self-efficacy plays a prominent role in students’ achieving their full potentials. It is especially important in STEM fields, which often suffer from higher attrition rates. Therefore, it is important to understand students’ self-efficacy levels at an early...

  • Novel approaches to promoting end-user programming

    Creator:
    Bahmani, Faezeh
    Abstract:
    End-user programming has become widespread. The increasing size of this population and the prevalence of barriers that they face has sparked the development of approaches that promote end-user programing by helping them overcome barriers and teaching them programming. Despite the fact that these approaches have done well in achieving those...

  • Managing bug reports in free/open source software (FOSS) communities

    Creator:
    Mohan, Nitin
    Abstract:
    Free/Open Source Software (FOSS) communities often use open bug reporting to allow users to participate by reporting bugs. This practice can lead to more duplicate reports, as inexperienced users can be less rigorous about researching existing bug reports. The purpose of this research is to determine the extent of this...

  • The Effectiveness of Using Robots in a Computer Science Orientation Class

    Creator:
    Alghamdi, Asma A.
    Abstract:
    One goal of using robots in introductory computer science (CS) courses is to improve motivation among learners. In this study, we investigate the effectiveness of using the Cozmo and Lego Mindstorm robots to improve students’ motivation in a CS orientation course, and we describe our experience using these robots in...

  • Information Foraging Theory as a Unifying Foundation for Software Engineering Research : Connecting the Dots

    Creator:
    Piorkowski, David
    Abstract:
    Empirical studies have shown that programmers spend up to one-third of their time navigating through code during debugging. Although researchers have conducted empirical studies to understand programmers’ navigation difficulties and developed tools to address those difficulties, the resulting findings tend to be loosely connected to each other. To address this...
