Final Thesis: Towards a Representative and Diverse Analysis of Issue-Tracker Related Code and Process Metrics
Abstract: Issue tracking systems of open source software projects deliver manifold insights to the regarding projects. Due to the huge diversity in the format and structure of the different issue tracker product’s data, performing a large-scale empirical analysis to derive these insights is not a trivial task. We present a uniform integrated data model that is […]

Final Thesis: A Theory of Software Update Systems
Abstract: Software updates resolve shortcomings within already released products. Technological advances provided for a vast frequency increase of such improvements. Large and diverse installation populations require the support of patch delivery by adequate utility systems. Such a software update system (henceforth abbreviated as SUS) is regarded a key element in achieving high penetration of patches. By […]Abstract: Software updates resolve shortcomings within already released products. Technological advances provided for a vast frequency increase of such improvements.

Das Start-up-Konzept der Professur für Open-Source-Software an der Friedrich-Alexander-Universität
Ein wichtiges selbst gesetztes Ziel unserer Forschung und Lehre ist es, studentische Start-ups zu erzeugen und zu unterstützen. Wir betrachten die Professur als Start-up-Inkubator. Während unser Forschungs- und Lehrkonzept eine gewisse Reife erreicht haben, steht das Start-up-Konzept noch am Anfang seiner Entwicklung; dies liegt an der (noch) geringen Anzahl an Datenpunkten (erfolgreiche oder fehlgeschlagene Start-ups), […]Ein wichtiges selbst gesetztes Ziel unserer Forschung und Lehre ist es, studentische Start-ups zu erzeugen und zu unterstützen.
