Abstract: Inner source is the use of open source software development practices and the establishment of an open source-like culture within organization that helps to improve code reuse and share knowledge where product line engineering fails (Capraro et al. 2016). We measure the inner source collab...

Abstract: Der Ansatz der Produktlinien (engl. Product Line Engineering) wird bereits seit längerem verwendet, um die Wiederverwendbarkeit von Architekturmodellen zu erhöhen. Dafür wird aus einem Plattformmodell (PM) eine Variante abgeleitet auf Basis eines Featuremodells (FM), das die Variabilität d...

Abstract: Employee Stock Option Plans offer employees an opportunity to participate in a firms' success. However, employees who face the decision to exercise their options often lack the sophistication of professional investors and are therefore more prone to suffer losses from their investment. Thi...

Abstract: Diese Masterarbeit entwirft und implementiert eine domänenspezifische Sprache (DSL) für die Sweble Software. Es handelt sich um eine DSL zur Erstellung von Benutzungsschnittstellen durch Fachexperten ohne spezifische Informatikerausbildung (sog. End-user-Programmierer). Wesentliche Eige...

Abstract: The success of every software project is determined to no small degree by the license under which its creator chooses to publish the software. Free/libre open source software has made free sharing of software and code reuse much easier but has also made the business of software licensing f...

Abstract: Domain knowledge is a widely used but seldom defined term in research. Since every research project is located in at least one dedicated domain, its influence to the research work seems to be natural but is not investigated, especially not for qualitative research. An exploratory study was...

Abstract: Mature requirements engineering is one of the key success factors of professional software development. This thesis proposes an approach that adapts core principles of qualitative data analysis, which is well established in social science, and transforms them into a holistic method for req...

Abstract: Open source software nowadays is increasingly used outside its own ecosystem. It is used by governmental departments and companies, for commercial projects and as a part of critical infrastructure, like encryption libraries. This usually makes it necessary to increase the collaboration wit...

Abstract: In the industrial domain, software development is a highly collaborative work involving different contributing teams. But there is not yet a way to quantify the collaboration between organizational units within a software developing company. However, information about this collaboration is...

Abstract: Most wikis today use text blobs written in a wiki markup dialect to store and work with articles. We have developed a formal parser that produces a rich tree-based format of wiki content, called Wiki Object Model (WOM). Around this format we’ve implemented a rudimentary Wiki software and a...
