Awakening: Modern Challenges and Opportunities of Software Engineering Research
Diomidis Spinellis, Zoe Kotti
Software engineering research benefited for decades from openly available tools, accessible systems, and problems that could be studied at modest scale. Today, many of the most rel…
Source Code Hotspots: A Diagnostic Method for Quality Issues
Saleha Muzammil, Mughees Ur Rehman, Zoe Kotti +1
Software source code often harbours "hotspots": small portions of the code that change far more often than the rest of the project and thus concentrate maintenance activity. We min…
The Fools are Certain; the Wise are Doubtful: Exploring LLM Confidence in Code Completion
Zoe Kotti, Konstantina Dritsa, Diomidis Spinellis +1
Code completion entails the task of providing missing tokens given a surrounding context. It can boost developer productivity and serve as a code discovery tool. Code completion ha…
Machine Learning for Software Engineering: A Tertiary Study
Zoe Kotti, Rafaila Galanopoulou, Diomidis Spinellis
Machine learning (ML) techniques increase the effectiveness of software engineering (SE) lifecycle activities. We systematically collected, quality-assessed, summarized, and catego…
Impact of Software Engineering Research in Practice: A Patent and Author Survey Analysis
Zoe Kotti, Georgios Gousios, Diomidis Spinellis
Existing work on the practical impact of software engineering (SE) research examines industrial relevance rather than adoption of study results, hence the question of how results h…
Software Engineering Education Knowledge Versus Industrial Needs
Georgios Liargkovas, Angeliki Papadopoulou, Zoe Kotti +1
Contribution: Determine and analyze the gap between software practitioners' education outlined in the 2014IEEE/ACM Software Engineering Education Knowledge (SEEK) and industrial ne…
Standing on Shoulders or Feet? An Extended Study on the Usage of the MSR Data Papers
Zoe Kotti, Konstantinos Kravvaritis, Konstantina Dritsa +1
Context: The establishment of the Mining Software Repositories (MSR) data showcase conference track has encouraged researchers to provide data sets as a basis for further empirical…
A Dataset of Enterprise-Driven Open Source Software
Diomidis Spinellis, Zoe Kotti, Konstantinos Kravvaritis +2
We present a dataset of open source software developed mainly by enterprises rather than volunteers. This can be used to address known generalizability concerns, and, also, to perf…
A Dataset for GitHub Repository Deduplication: Extended Description
Diomidis Spinellis, Zoe Kotti, Audris Mockus
GitHub projects can be easily replicated through the site's fork process or through a Git clone-push sequence. This is a problem for empirical software engineering, because it can…
