Analyze This! 145 Questions for Data Scientists in Software Engineering
"... In this paper, we present the results from two surveys related to data science applied to software engineering. The first survey solicited questions that software engineers would like data scientists to in-vestigate about software, about software processes and practices, and about software engineers ..."

The GrADS project: Software support for high-level grid application development
- International Journal of High Performance Computing Applications
, 2001
"... Advances in networking technologies will soon make it possible to use the global information infrastructure in a qualitatively different way—as a computational resource as well as an information resource. This idea for an integrated computation and information resource called the Computational Power ..."

on the Grid will reflect some of this complexity. Hence, making Grid resources useful and accessible to scientists and engineers will require new software tools that embody major advances in both the theory and practice of building Grid applications. The goal of the Grid Application Development Software (Gr
A Survey of Controlled Experiments in Software Engineering
- IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering
, 2005
"... Abstract—The classical method for identifying cause-effect relationships is to conduct controlled experiments. This paper reports upon the present state of how controlled experiments in software engineering are conducted and the extent to which relevant information is reported. Among the 5,453 scien ..."

and external validity is addressed and the extent to which experiments are replicated. The gathered data reflects the relevance of software engineering experiments to industrial practice and the scientific maturity of software engineering research. Index Terms—Controlled experiments, survey, research
Selecting Empirical Methods for Software Engineering Research
"... Selecting a research method for empirical software engineering research is problematic because the benefits and challenges to using each method are not yet well catalogued. Therefore, this chapter describes a number of empirical methods available. It examines the goals of each and analyzes the types ..."

VIEWPOINT The role of replications in Empirical Software Engineering
, 2008
"... Abstract Replications play a key role in Empirical Software Engineering by allowing the community to build knowledge about which results or observations hold under which conditions. Therefore, not only can a replication that produces similar results as the original experiment be viewed as successful ..."

Applying Meta-Analytical Procedures to Software Engineering Experiments
- Journal of Systems and Software
"... Deriving reliable empirical results from a single experimentisanunlikely event. Hence to progress multiple experiments must be undertaken per hypothesis and the subsequent results effectively combined to produce a single reliable conclusion. Since results are quantitative in nature, a quantitativ ..."

quantitative conclusion would be the optimal solution. Other disciplines use meta-analytic techniques to achieve this result. The treatise of this paper is: can metaanalysis be successfully applied to currentSoftware Engineering experiments? The question is investigated by examining a series of experiments
How to grow a mind: statistics, structure, and abstraction
, 2011
"... In coming to understand the world—in learning concepts, acquiring language, and grasping causal relations—our minds make inferences that appear to go far beyond the data available. How do we do it? This review describes recent approaches to reverse-engineering human learning and cognitive developmen ..."

A Replicated Empirical Study of the Impact of the Methods in the PSP on Individual Engineers
"... Abstract. The Personal Software Process (PSP) has during the last couple of years gained attention as a way to individual improvements in software development. The PSP is introduced to students and engineers through a course, which introduces a personal software development process. The personal sof ..."
Abstract

software development process is improved in steps during the course and a collection of methods is introduced to support the personal development process. The question is, however, how do these methods influence the performance of an individual engineer? This question has been studied in a study made
