The future internet will result from the convergence of mobile computing with cloud computing, integrating large-scale systems constructed from the composition of thousands of distributed services, running on a large amount of physical and virtual machines, and managing large quantities of multimedia data generated from various sources while interacting directly with the physical world vi…
Open source software (OSS) projects have risen to great prominence within the last several years and support a large number of today's society activities, becoming an important economic driving force. These projects require a continuous influx of software engineer newcomers for their survival, long-term success, and continuity. However, newcomers usually face many difficulties when enteri…
Food directly affects the population health and well-being. Although food packages provide information on their ingredients and additives, consumers do not know for sure what they are acquiring. Lots of information are published in social networks; many studies are contradictory; many reports and posts are questionable; many jargons are used; the official classifications of some component…

Summary: Newcomers to open source projects face many barriers, including unclear documentation, not being able to find a task to start with, and technical hurdles, according to evidences raised by previous research. Many of these challenges can be addressed by producing documentation that is specifically aimed at and customized for newcomers. In this project, we propose techniques to auto…
Software architecture and coordination efforts are intrinsically connected. Making changes to components that a large number of other components rely on is usually difficult due to the importance of these components and the complexity of the involved developers' coordination. A distinct group of developers effectively help evolving the technical core of software projects. In this project,…
