The process of giving and receiving comments can encourage critical thinking and help students learn both from reviewing and being reviewed. Peer assessment generates a large volume of data, especially if done online. Online peer-assessment systems are designed differently and use different schema for their data, which complicates the work of comparing different designs. For example, some systems are based on ranking - reviewers rank the artifacts they are asked to assess, while other systems use rating - reviewers assess a single artifact at a time and score it on various criteria. Comparing these two types of systems, e.g. on rating accuracy, or usefulness of formative feedback, can be challenging because researchers need to learn the design and terminology of each system before analyzing the data. We introduce a Peer-Review Markup Language to provide a common definition of terminology across multiple systems. We are using this markup language to build a data warehouse for data from different systems. We discuss issues raised during this process and our approach to solving them.}, booktitle={2016 IEEE Frontiers in Education Conference (FIE)}, author={Song, Yang and Pramudianto, Ferry and Gehringer, Ed}, year={2016}, month={Oct} }
 @article{rahman_williams_2016, title={Security Practices in DevOps}, DOI={10.1145/2898375.2898383}, abstractNote={DevOps focuses on collaboration between different teams in an organization to achieve rapid deployment of software and services to end-users by automating the software delivery infrastructure. According to Dyck et al. [1] DevOps is a software process that emphasizes collaboration within and between different teams involved in software development. According to a study from CA Technologies [5], 88% of 1425 organization executives stated that they have adopted DevOps, or are planning to adopt DevOps in the next five years. According to Puppet Labs' 2015 State of DevOps Report [2], organizations that have adopted DevOps experienced 60 times fewer failures and deploy 30 times more frequently than organizations that have not adopted DevOps. Despite the popularity, security aspects of DevOps remain a concern for organizations that want to adopt DevOps [5]. In organizations that use DevOps practices, developers can commit and deploy their software changes at a rapid rate using an automated pipeline. At such a rapid rate, if the security team operates in isolation without close collaboration with the development and operations teams, then the rapidly deployed software changes might not undergo the adequate security reviews, potentially leading to vulnerable software. Bringing security principles within the DevOps process can help the organization in achieving better quality of software by integrating security checks into the phases of development, testing, and deployment.}, journal={SYMPOSIUM AND BOOTCAMP ON THE SCIENCE OF SECURITY}, author={Rahman, Akond Ashfaque Ur and Williams, Laurie}, year={2016}, pages={109–111} }
