Contemporary software projects often utilize a README.md to share crucial information such as installation and usage examples related to their software. Furthermore, these files serve as an important source of updated and useful documentation for developers and prospective users of the software. Nonetheless, both novice and seasoned developers are sometimes unsure of what is required for a good...

While most developers are happy parsing their XML with off-the-shelf parsers and working with fully-cooked results, there are times when developers need a little more control over their document processing. While XML is text, applying text processing tools directly to XML has some serious drawbacks. This presentation will explore the possibilities offered by a combination of XML parsing for con...

Background. Prot6ge-2000 is the latest in a series of tools developed in our laboratory to assist developers in the construction of large electronic knowledge bases [1]. The direct-manipulation user interface allows developers to create and edit domain ontologies that represent the salient concepts and relationships among concepts in an application area. From the ontology, the system automatica...

Creating a schedule for a large multi-track conference requires considering the preferences and constraints of organizers, authors, and attendees. Traditionally, a few dedicated organizers manage the size and complexity of the schedule with limited information and coverage. Cobi presents an alternative approach to conference scheduling by engaging the entire community to take active roles in th...

ResearCh studies are described as varying in the -degree to which they include reviews of the literature, pre...

Procedural content generation is more popular than ever among game developers, but understanding, adjusting and perfecting a procedural generator is difficult for newcomers and experts alike. In this paper we present Danesh, an intelligent tool we are building to help developers of all skill levels explore, improve and understand procedural generators. We discuss the structure of the tool, repo...

This content analysis study, employing a multimodal perspective and critical visual analysis, set out to analyze gender representations in Top Notch series, one of the highly used ELT textbooks in Iran. For this purpose, six images were selected from these series and analyzed in terms of ‘representational’, ‘interactive’ and ‘compositional’ modes of meanings. The result indicated that there are...

Source control systems permit developers to attach a free form message to every committed change. The content of these change messages is rarely investigated and little is known about their use by developers while they maintain their code. We present the results of a survey we conducted with professional software developers. The purpose of this survey was to investigate how developers make use ...

Identifying interdisciplinary research topics is an essential subject, not only for research policy but also research funding agencies. Previous research was constructed on measuring interdisciplinarity mainly at the macro level of research, such as Web of Science subject category and journal. However, these studies lack analysis at the micro level of the current science system. It means few st...

Drainage developers O ur bodies' tissues need continuous irrigation and drainage. Blood vessels feeding the tissues bring in the fl uids, and drainage occurs via the lymphatic system. Whereas much is known about how blood vessels are built, the same was not true for lymph vessels. Now though, Norrmén et al. have identifi ed two of the lead engineers that direct drainage construc-tion—the transc...
