Research Software and Data

Warning: this page is under construction and will be gradually filled with more information. Several links do not work at the moment.

• Alitheia Core is a platform that enables researchers in the field of software engineering to automate experiments and distribute the processing load on a cluster of machines. I maintain the project in its own site. The project has been the centerpiece of my PhD research , while it has been presented individually in our work:

  A dump of the Alitheia Core database as it was by the end of my PhD work can be found here. The data has changed a lot since then so if you are interested in a recent version of those, please contact me directly.

• The Java DTrace Toolkit (JDT) is a series of Perl scripts that use the JVM DTrace providers on OpenSolaris to provide deep insights on how Java software executes and how it interacts with the operating system. More...
• In our work Performing Large Scale Software Engineering Studies (currently under review), I used both the Alitheia Core dataset (mentioned above) and a fresh, new dataset. Find more details on how to replicate the experiments I report in this study here.

Scripts and Hacks

• Whereami is a Perl script along with a J2ME application that allows a user to record his tracks and allows other users to view the current status, speed and altitude of the data sharing user on a Google map. This hack was done back on Dec 07, long before Google released its similarily functioning, but widely more popular, Latitude service. You can find it here .
• Thesis-o-meter Almost all computer science PhD students implement a tool to monitor their thesis writing progress some time. I am sharing mine here to help against re-inventing the wheel.

Github

Lately, I have been using Github for most of my development work. You can find my profile here.
