Prior research has suggested that the failure rates of faults follow a log normal distribution. We propose a specific model where distributions close to a log normal arise natural...
We present a mapping of Best Practices from the field of software engineering to the practice of discrete event simulation model construction. There are obvious parallels between ...

To better understand what makes Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) hard to use and how to improve them, recent research has begun studying programmers' strategies and ...
One prevalent method for evaluating the results of automated software analysis tools is to compare the tools’ output to the judgment of human experts. This evaluation strategy i...
