Title: Mining Software Repositories

Hosts: Rasmus Hallevåg & Jesper Olsson - Department of Computer Science, Lund University.

Software repositories have become the standard practice in software development. Standard versioning tools collect large amounts of data regarding the change of files. Mining Software Repositories aims to navigate this large dataset to provide valuable information that could help decision making, but to what extent can meaningful data be obtained through datamining?

Some preliminary points of dicussion are:

• Which datamined metrics can be used to drive positive change?
• How should these these metrics be used in a way to avoid common pitfalls like antipatterns?
• How do we find the whys between all the whats, i.e. how could meaningful observation be made from the datamined metrics?.
