  • An Investigation of the Effects of Merge Conflicts on Collaborative Software Development

    Creator:
    Brindescu, Caius
    Abstract:
    Merge conflicts have long plagued software development. With larger and more dispersed teams comes greater risk of developers working on the same code at the same time. While merge conflicts are known to be painful, their exact impact on software is still largely unknown. Are merge conflicts an isolated problem,...

  • Rapid endangered species assessment : a novel approach to improve extinction risk assessments in poorly known species

    Creator:
    Bianchi, Carlos A.
    Abstract:
    The number of endangered species is rapidly increasing while paucity of adequate information and resources delays establishment of conservation actions. The IUCN’s listing system is insufficient to determine conservation priorities and many species lack information even to be evaluated (i.e., “data deficient”). Here I proposed and tested the Rapid Endangered...

  • Longitudinal Analysis of Collaboration in Forked Open Source Software Development Projects

    Creator:
    Azarbakht, Amirhosein "Emerson"
    Abstract:
    Social interactions are a ubiquitous part of our lives, and the creation of online social communities has been a natural extension of this phenomena. Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) development efforts are prime examples of how communities can be leveraged in software development, where groups are formed around communities...

  • Improving the Quality of Software Using Mutation Testing and Fault Prediction

    Creator:
    Ahmed, Iftekhar
    Abstract:
    Our confidence in software systems depends on our confidence in the exhaustiveness of our testing. As software systems get more complex, the task of exhaustive testing becomes more complex and even infeasible in some cases. In order to build less error prone systems, we therefore need to not only focus...

  • Ecohydrologic Connections of Rangeland Ecosystems in Central and Eastern Oregon, USA

    Creator:
    Durfee, Nicole M.
    Abstract:
    In light of water scarcity and the impacts of climate change, there is an increased need to understand the interaction between land use characteristics and ecohydrologic processes in semiarid regions. Additionally, many semiarid and arid regions face various land management challenges, including woody plant encroachment, decreased snowpack, and increased stream...

  • Investigating the Effects of Design Quality in OSS Projects

    Creator:
    Mannan, Umme Ayda
    Abstract:
    Software systems are becoming an essential part of the lives of both individuals and organizations, and as a consequence, these systems are getting bigger and more complex. Because of this, the tasks of maintaining the quality in these complex software systems are becoming increasingly difficult. Furthermore, these systems are subject...

  • Influence of Soft Wheat Characteristics on Quality of Batter-based Products

    Creator:
    Fajardo Centeno, Carlos A.
    Abstract:
    Wheat is a globally traded staple crop. Wheat is important in human diets because of its agronomic adaptability, physical characteristics, functionality for the production of leavened products and nutritional value. Two significant characteristics make wheat an important staple food-crop. First, the proteins present in wheat endosperm have attributes that enable...

  • Enhancing Search-Based Techniques with Information Control Dependencies

    Creator:
    Aburas, Ali
    Abstract:
    Software testing is a very important task during software development and it can be used to improve the quality and reliability of the software system. One potential way to reduce the cost and increase the efficiency of software testing is to generate test data automatically. Search-based approaches successfully generate unit...

  • Evaluation of Serratia Ureilytica as a Greener Unsealed Road Stabilization Method

    Creator:
    Portugal, Carla Ribeiro Machado e
    Abstract:
    Covering half of South America, Brazil is one of the largest agricultural and commercial forest producers globally, with a correspondingly complex road network necessary to support the production and marketing processes of such goods. Contrary to global statistics, almost 90% of the country’s road network is classified as unsealed or...
