Context: The pool of papers published in ESEM. Objective: To utilize citation analysis and automated topic analysis to characterize the SE research literature over the years focusing on those papers published in ESEM. Method: We collected data from Scopus database consisting of 513 ESEM papers. For thematic analysis, we used topic modeling to automatically generate the most probable topic distributions...
Context: Applying model driven techniques can lead to several benefits, but their adoption entails also numerous issues. Goal: We aim at understanding the benefits and barriers on the adoption of the modelling techniques for embedded systems developed in a large German research project. Method: We replicate a survey conducted in the Italian industry about relevance, benefits, and problems of software...
Context: Seamless model-based development provides integrated chains of models, covering all software engineering phases. Non-functional requirements (NFRs), like reusability, further play a vital role in software and systems engineering, but are often neglected in research and practice. It is still unclear how to integrate NFRs in a seamless model-based development. Goal: Our long-term goal is to...
Although citation counts are often considered a measure of academic impact, they are criticized for failing to evaluate impact as intended. In this paper we propose that software engineering citations may be classified according to how the citation is used by the author of the citing paper, and that through this classification of citation behaviour it is possible to achieve a more refined understanding...
Context: Current empirical research highlight the need for replications of empirical studies because replications plays an important role in the construction of scientific knowledge. Objective: Considering the importance of replications in the consolidation of the knowledge produced in the software engineering research, this study aims to update and extend the results produced in a previous mapping...
Context: Several empirical studies investigated the benefits and drawbacks of acquiring a Software Reference Architecture (SRA) to construct a family of software systems with similar architectural needs. However, these empirical results have not been synthesized by any study yet. Such synthesized evidence is essential to make informed decisions whether or not to adopt an SRA in an organization. Goal:...
Background: Technology transfer is one key to the success of research projects, especially in Software Engineering, where the (practical) impact of the outcome may depend not only on the reliability and feasibility of technologies, but also on their applicability to industrial settings. However, there is limited knowledge on the current state of practice and how to assess the success of technology...
Context: The results of large-scale studies in software engineering can be significantly impacted by samples' representativeness. Diverse population sources can be used to support sampling for such studies. Goal: To compare two samples, one from the crowdsourcing platform Mechanical Turk and another from the professional social network LinkedIn, in an online experiment for evaluating the relevance...
