We present the results of a study in which author entropy was used to characterize author contributions per file. Our analysis reveals three patterns: banding in the data, uneven distribution of data across bands, and file size dependent distributions within bands. Our results suggest that when two authors contribute to a file, large files are more likely to have a dominant author than smaller files.
As wireless devices continue to become more prevalent, heterogeneous wireless networks - in which communicating devices have at their disposal multiple types of radios - will become the norm. Communication between nodes in these networks ought to be as simple as possible; they should be able to seamlessly switch between different radios and network stacks on the fly in order to better serve the user...
Communication between wireless devices ought to be as simple as possible; they should be able to seamlessly switch between different radios and network stacks on the fly in order to better serve the user. To make this a possibility, we consider the challenging problem of predicting link quality in a changing mobile environment. In this paper we present an algorithm that uses Weighted Least Squares...
Brooks and others long ago suggested that on average computer programmers write the same number of lines of code in a given amount of time regardless of the programming language used. We examine data collected from the CVS repositories of 9,999 open source projects hosted on SourceForge.net to test this assumption for 10 of the most popular programming languages in use in the open source community...
Transport selection mechanisms are designed to facilitate seamless connectivity in heterogeneous multi-transport environments, allowing access to the "best" available transport according to user requirements. Evaluating transport configurations dynamically according to the user's preferences and quality of service (QoS) requirements is a challenging task. This paper describes a quantitative...
