The promises and perils of mining GitHub
- in MSR. ACM
"... With over 10 million git repositories, GitHub is becoming one of the most important source of software artifacts on the Internet. Researchers are starting to mine the infor-mation stored in GitHub’s event logs, trying to understand how its users employ the site to collaborate on software. However, s ..."

, so far there have been no studies describing the quality and properties of the data available from GitHub. We document the results of an empirical study aimed at un-derstanding the characteristics of the repositories in GitHub and how users take advantage of GitHub’s main features— namely commits
Quality and Productivity Outcomes Relating to Continuous Integration in GitHub
"... Software processes comprise many steps; coding is followed by building, integration testing, system testing, deployment, operations, among others. Software process integration and automation have been areas of key concern in software engi-neering, ever since the pioneering work of Osterweil; market ..."

-fects of process integration and automation. Software project ecosystems such as GitHub provide a new opportunity in this regard: one can readily find large numbers of projects in various stages of process integration and automation, and gather data on various influencing factors as well as produc
An Insight into the Pull Requests of GitHub
"... Given the increasing number of unsuccessful pull requests in GitHub projects, insights into the success and failure of these requests are essential for the developers. In this paper, we provide a comparative study between successful and un-successful pull requests made to 78 GitHub base projects by ..."

Gender and Tenure Diversity in GitHub Teams
"... Software development is usually a collaborative venture. Open Source Software (OSS) projects are no exception; in-deed, by design, the OSS approach can accommodate teams that are more open, geographically distributed, and dynamic than commercial teams. This, we find, leads to OSS teams that are quit ..."

that are quite diverse. Team diversity, predominantly in of-fline groups, is known to correlate with team output, mostly with positive effects. How about in OSS? Using GITHUB, the largest publicly available collection of OSS projects, we studied how gender and tenure diversity relate to team productivity
SIMPLIcity: Semantics-Sensitive Integrated Matching for Picture LIbraries

StackOverflow and GitHub: Associations between software development and crowdsourced knowledge
- In Proc. ASE SocialCom, IEEE
, 2013
"... Abstract—StackOverflow is a popular on-line programming question and answer community providing its participants with rapid access to knowledge and expertise of their peers, especially benefitting coders. Despite the popularity of StackOverflow, its role in the work cycle of open-source developers i ..."

Distributed Computing in Practice: The Condor Experience
- Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience
, 2005
"... Since 1984, the Condor project has enabled ordinary users to do extraordinary computing. Today, the project continues to explore the social and technical problems of cooperative computing on scales ranging from the desktop to the world-wide computational grid. In this chapter, we provide the history ..."

Theory of the Firm: Managerial Behavior, Agency Costs and Ownership Structure
, 1976
"... This paper integrates elements from the theory of agency, the theory of property rights and the theory of finance to develop a theory of the ownership structure of the firm. We define the concept of agency costs, show its relationship to the ‘separation and control’ issue, investigate the nature of ..."

, 2002
"... In this overview paper we motivate the need for and research issues arising from a new model of data processing. In this model, data does not take the form of persistent relations, but rather arrives in multiple, continuous, rapid, time-varying data streams. In addition to reviewing past work releva ..."

This paper argues that while informed banks make flexible financial decisions which prevent a firm's projects from going awry, the cost of this credit is that banks have bargaining power over the firm's ..."
