Crowd documentation: Exploring the coverage and the dynamics of api discussions on stack overflow,” Georgia Institute of Technology
, 2012
"... Traditionally, many types of software documentation, such as API documentation, require a process where a few people write for many potential users. The resulting documentation, when it exists, is often of poor quality and lacks sufficient examples and explanations. In this paper, we report on an em ..."

on an empirical study to investigate how Question and Answer (Q&A) websites, such as Stack Overflow, facilitate crowd documentation — knowledge that is written by many and read by many. We examine the crowd documentation for three popular APIs: Android, GWT, and the Java programming language. We collect usage
Mining StackOverflow to Turn the IDE into a Selfconfident Programming Prompter
- in In Proceedings of MSR 2014 (11th Working Conference on Mining Software Repositories). ACM
"... Developers often require knowledge beyond the one they possess, which often boils down to consulting sources of information like Application Programming Interfaces (API) documentation, forums, Q&A websites, etc. Knowing what to search for and how is non-trivial, and developers spend time and ene ..."

and energy to formulate their problems as queries and to peruse and process the results. We propose a novel approach that, given a context in the IDE, automatically retrieves pertinent discussions from Stack Overflow, evaluates their relevance, and, if a given confidence threshold is surpassed, notifies
A Study of Innovation Diffusion through Link Sharing on Stack Overflow
"... Abstract—It is poorly understood how developers discover and adopt software development innovations such as tools, libraries, frameworks, or web sites that support developers. Yet, being aware of and choosing appropriate tools and components can have a significant impact on the outcome of a software ..."

software project. In our study, we investigate link sharing on Stack Overflow to gain insights into how software developers discover and disseminate innovations. We find that link sharing is a significant phenomenon on Stack Overflow, that Stack Overflow is an important resource for software development
What Makes a Good Code Example? A Study of Programming Q&A in StackOverflow
"... Abstract — Programmers learning how to use an API or a programming language often rely on code examples to support their learning activities. However, what makes for an effective code example remains an open question. Finding the characteristics of the effective examples is essential in improving th ..."

the appropriateness of these learning aids. To help answer this question we have conducted a qualitative analysis of the questions and answers posted to a programming Q&A web site called StackOverflow. On StackOverflow answers can be voted on, indicating which answers were found helpful by users of the site
“Should we move to Stack Overflow?” Measuring the utility of social media for developer support
"... Abstract — Stack Overflow is an enormously popular question-and-answer web site intended for software developers to help each other with programming issues. Some software projects aimed at developers (for example, application programming interfaces, application engines, cloud services, development f ..."

frameworks, and the like) are closing their self-supported developer discussion forums and mailing lists and instead directing developers to use special-purpose tags on Stack Overflow. The goals of this paper are to document the main reasons given for moving developer support to Stack Overflow
Efficient Collective Entity Linking with Stacking
"... Entity disambiguation works by linking am-biguous mentions in text to their correspond-ing real-world entities in knowledge base. Re-cent collective disambiguation methods en-force coherence among contextual decisions at the cost of non-trivial inference processes. We propose a fast collective disam ..."

Live api documentation.

, 2014
"... ABSTRACT Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) provide powerful abstraction mechanisms that enable complex functionality to be used by client programs. However, this abstraction does not come for free: understanding how to use an API can be difficult. While API documentation can help, it is oft ..."

, it is often insufficient on its own. Online sites like Stack Overflow and Github Gists have grown to fill the gap between traditional API documentation and more example-based resources. Unfortunately, these two important classes of documentation are independent. In this paper we describe an iterative
ENGINEERING & GINNING Overflow System Total Particulate Emission Factors and Rates for Cotton Gins: Method 17

"... ABSTRACT This report is part of a project to characterize cotton gin emissions from the standpoint of stack sampling. The impetus behind this project was the urgent need to collect additional cotton gin emissions data to address current regulatory issues. A key component of this study was focused o ..."

Key factors for selecting specific cotton gins included: 1) facility location, 2) production capacity, 3) processing systems and 4) abatement technologies.

When evaluated on 188 StackOverflow answer posts containing 993 code elements, the technique performs with average 0
