Mapping the field of software life cycle security metrics

Morrison, P., Moye, D., Pandita, R., & Williams, L. (2018, May 30). Information and Software Technology.

By: P. Morrison n, D. Moye n, R. Pandita n & L. Williams n

author keywords: Metrics; Measurement; Security
topics (OpenAlex): Information and Cyber Security; Software Engineering Research; Software Reliability and Analysis Research
TL;DR: The field of software life cycle security metrics has yet to converge on an accepted set of metrics, and the most-cited and most used metric, vulnerability count, has multiple definitions and operationalizations. (via Semantic Scholar)

Designing for dystopia: software engineering research for the post-apocalypse

Barik, T., Pandita, R., Middleton, J., & Murphy-Hill, E. (2016, November 1).

By: T. Barik n, R. Pandita n, J. Middleton n & E. Murphy-Hill n

author keywords: culture; design fiction; dystopia; ideation; post-apocalypse; software engineering
topics (OpenAlex): E-Learning and Knowledge Management; Educational Games and Gamification
TL;DR: This paper demonstrates through three pop culture dystopias, Battlestar Galactica, Fallout 3, and Children of Men, how reflecting on dystopian scenarios provides research opportunities as well as implications, such as making research accessible to non-experts, that are relevant to the authors' present.

Veteran developers' contributions and motivations: An open source perspective

By: P. Morrison n, R. Pandita n, E. Murphy-Hill n & A. McLaughlin n 

topics (OpenAlex): Open Source Software Innovations; Knowledge Management and Sharing; Mobile Crowdsensing and Crowdsourcing
TL;DR: The results suggest that veterans' are less motivated by social interactions than their younger peers, and could contribute a broader knowledge of software development than their young peers, as well as knowledge of old technologies that can be applied to newer technologies.

Bespoke tools: adapted to the concepts developers know

Johnson, B., Pandita, R., Murphy-Hill, E., & Heckman, S. (2015, August 26). 2015 10TH JOINT MEETING OF THE EUROPEAN SOFTWARE ENGINEERING CONFERENCE AND THE ACM SIGSOFT SYMPOSIUM ON THE FOUNDATIONS OF SOFTWARE ENGINEERING (ESEC/FSE 2015) PROCEEDINGS, pp. 878–881.

By: B. Johnson n, R. Pandita n, E. Murphy-Hill n & S. Heckman n 

author keywords: adaptive tools; IDE; concept models
topics (OpenAlex): Software Engineering Research; Advanced Software Engineering Methodologies; Software System Performance and Reliability
TL;DR: This paper proposes the idea of automatically customizing development tools by modeling what a developer knows about software concepts and sketches three such ``bespoke'' tools and describes how development data can be used to infer what adeveloper knows about relevant concepts.
