Knowledge about the roles developers play in a software project is crucial to understanding the project's collaborative dynamics. In practice, developers are often classified according to the dichotomy of core and peripheral roles. Typically, count-based operationalizations, which rely on simple counts of individual developer activities (e.g., number of commits), are used for this purpose, but there...
Industrial computing devices, in particular cyber-physical, real-time andsafety-critical systems, focus on reacting to external events and the need tocooperate with other devices to create a functional system. They are oftenimplemented with languages that focus on a simple, local description of how acomponent reacts to external input data and stimuli. Despite the trend inmodern software architectures...
Software development projects leave a large amount of data in repositories of Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) tools. These data contain detailed histories of their respective projects, their results and decisions made along the way. Analysis of such data helps uncover various interesting facts about projects, e.g. their socio-technical structures and the actual (vs. purported) roles of team...
Software evolution is a fundamental process that transcends the realm of technical artifacts and permeates the entire organizational structure of a software project. By means of a longitudinal empirical study of 18 large open-source projects, we examine and discuss the evolutionary principles that govern the coordination of developers. By applying a network-analytic approach, we found that the implicit...
Effective software engineering demands a coordinated effort. Unfortunately, a comprehensive view on developer coordination is rarely available to support software-engineering decisions, despite the significant implications on software quality, software architecture, and developer productivity. We present a fine-grained, verifiable, and fully automated approach to capture a view on developer coordination,...
A high-speed continuous-variable quantum random bit generator with an expected effective bit generation rate of up to 10 GBit/s is presented. The obtained bit sequences are truly random and unique, i.e. they cannot be known by an adversary.
