Abstract: Context: User-led open source (OS) consortia (foundations) consist of organizations from industries beyond the software industry collaborating to create open-source software solutions for their internal processes. Initially pioneered by higher education organizations in the 2000s, this...

Abstract: In today’s software development world, open-source software is a big player, but it presents a number of challenges in managing and complying with a sea of licenses. Tools like ScanCode are used everywhere for detecting the licenses within the code, but they regularly fail at newer or mod...

Abstract: Creating intuitive, user-centric solutions is challenging, particularly in developer-focused fields with limited exposure to behavioral science and usability principles. This thesis introduces the NUDGE Framework, a conceptual behavioral design framework aiming to bridge the gap between d...

Abstract: When working with open data, it is essential to have easy access to the necessary sources. Open data portals provide a vast amount of data, but finding the right platform and data for a specific project can be challenging. This thesis aims to integrate open data into the JValue Hub, a web...

Abstract: This thesis aims to explore and explain the creation of an open source software (Jayvee Data Wrangler) that ought to perform data wrangling tasks to help users with importing their data (CSV) into a database, as well as its exploration and editing in a semi-automated way. The software is ...

Abstract: This thesis presents the modernization of the backend architecture of QDAcity, a cloud-based web application that supports Qualitative Data Analysis (QDA). The existing backend of QDAcity is effective; however, it has limitations in terms of efficiently handling blob data, which can affec...

Abstract: A large part of data science projects is spent on data engineering. Especially in open data contexts, data quality issues are prevalent and are often tackled by non-professional programmers. We introduce and evaluate Jayvee, a domain-specific language for data engineering aimed at reducin...
