There are three Fediverse apps for software engineering:

* ForgeFriends https://forgefriends.org/

* ForgeFlux https://forgeflux.org/

* Vervis https://vervis.peers.community/

AFAIU, the idea seems to be to allow people to interact across different social coding platforms.

Basically do for GitHub, what Lemmy does for Reddit or what Mastodon does for Twitter.

Last week I gave a talk on the sustainability of software research #artifacts. One main point was that acknowledging the tools/research we reuse contribute to their #sustainability. So here we go: the following studies were most helpful for reflecting on this topic:

SIGSOFT is excited to announce the 2023/2024 Call for Proposals for summer or winter schools focused on all aspects of software engineering.

Interested in organizing a summer school on software engineering? Details on the SIGSOFT Blog: https://sigsoft.medium.com/sigsoft-support-for-summer-winter-schools-in-software-engineering-c7ff0bb256ff

Denouncing the #plagiarism of our 2018 TSE article using #TorturedPhrases.

Our "statistically significant" results become "factually momentous". "Very low coverage" turns to "incredibly near to the ground coverage".

#Introduction

I'm a #ComputerScience professor at McGill University. Interested in software technology, software engineering research, computing education, and information privacy. I maintain the JetUML open-source #UML #Diagram tool (https://www.jetuml.org/). Generally looking for insights on software design in #Java and beyond.

I'm also a member of @SIGSOFT and administer this server.

If you are a member of SIGSOFT would you switch to a SIGSOFT Mastodon server? #seresearchers

If some starting #SEResearchers who wants to work on performance is interested in submitting to the #ICPE Data Track, I am willing to help / mentor.

I am a co-author on 4 of the 6 papers listed as examples in the data challenge, so I think I have some (undeserved?) creds related to this topic.

@seresearchers, if one was looking for a Java OSS project with extraordinarily many and structurally complex unit tests, which ones would you look at first?

Is there a good way to query this using BigQuery or in GHTorrent?

Would like to read an advent calendar of SE articles (like for beer ones: not full classical or full IPA/trendy if possible). Anyone has already though of this and would have a list? #SEResearchers

What to do when you have to bring the little one to an early fencing lesson on a Saturday morning? Doing some literature on SE guidelines. #SEResearchers

The second question (for now) is what qualifies as a research tool, in particular with respect to open vs closed source and commercial vs. publicly-funded.

The first question is whether and how to distinguish between reusable tools (that must be extensively documented and maintained) and static data sets (which are more for archival purposes)?

As a member of the SIGSOFT executive I have been (slowly) preparing a proposal for an official recognition system for artifacts that are maintained and evolved beyond the publication of the corresponding paper. But this is more complex than it looks and I welcome feedback on a number of questions.

"As the creation of these artifacts entails significant overheads, we encourage the SE and PL communities to propose and discuss alternative
reward mechanisms for authors who create and publish high quality research artifacts, which benefit the research community as a whole."

Currently, the "reward" for investing a significant amount of effort and resources in the development of a research artifact is a badge on a paper. According to Winter et al., this does not translate into more visibility for the work. So what is the incentive when tenure and promotion committees mostly care about traditional publications?

#academia #SEResearchers

The recent paper "A Retrospective Study of One Decade of Artifact Evaluations" provides a great empirical basis for reflecting on how we reward and value software engineering research artifacts, such as prototype tools.
