Mining code change patterns to aid software development

Fengcai, Wen ; Bavota, Gabriele (Dir.) ; Lanza, Michele (Codir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Università della Svizzera italiana, 2021 ; 2021INFO012.

Mining Software Repositories (MSR) has become a complete and mature research field, also due to the increasing number of open source projects publicly available. Repository hosting services such as GitHub provide unprecedented access to millions of events generated during development activities (e.g., code commits, pull requests), that can be mined and analyzed to extract new pieces of...

Reframing as an argumentative competence in dispute mediation

Jermini-Martinez Soria, Chiara ; Greco, Sara (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Università della Svizzera italiana, 2021 ; 2021COM005.

Dispute mediation is a dialogical and communicative process in which a neutral third party, a mediator, helps conflicting parties modifying the way in which they interact with each other so that they become able to co-construct a solution to their conflict that is mutually satisfactory. Mediators cannot impose solutions to the parties, yet they play a fundamental role in conflict resolutions...

Multilevel minimization in trust-region framework : algorithmic and software developments

Kopaničáková, Alena ; Krause, Rolf (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Università della Svizzera italiana, 2020 ; 2020INFO021.

The field of scientific computing is associated with the modeling of complex physical phenomena. The resulting numerical models are often described by differential equations, which, in many cases, can be related to non-convex minimization problems. Thus, after discretization, the solution of large-scale non-convex optimization problem is required. Various iterative solution strategies can be...

The Millennial workforce : how companies in Geneva could involve this generation to achieve an inclusive workplace and revitalize engagement for all generations

Ansaah, Britny ; Walden, Dana (Dir.)

Mémoire de bachelor : Haute école de gestion de Genève, 2020 ; TDIBM 71.

The ability of an organization to foster diversity as a result of having a multigenerational workforce is crucial, but diversity alone does not grow a business unless the different generations are willing to connect their diverse and unique talents. A multigenerational workforce is very diverse in terms of behaviors, values, perceptions, communication styles, working styles, leadership styles, as...

Multi-generational teams : the appropriate leadership style to achieve positive team dynamics : Which leadership style should leaders of multi-generational teams adopt to achieve positive team dynamics in medium-sized to big multinationals located in Geneva ?

Chikono, Charlene ; Walden, Dana (Dir.)

Mémoire de bachelor : Haute école de gestion de Genève, 2020 ; TDIBM 73.

Over the course of many decades, the level of importance attributed to generational dif-ferences has considerably increased. In recent years, the topic of generations has been the focus of numerous academic papers, books, articles, and blogs. Companies are faced with the pressure of how they acknowledge such age differences in the makeup of the workforce as part of the Diversity and Inclusion...

Software documentation : automation and challenges

Aghajani, Emad ; Lanza, Michele (Dir.) ; Bavota, Gabriele (Codir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Università della Svizzera italiana, 2020 ; 2020INFO014.

Despite the undeniable practical benefits of documentation during software development and evolution activities, its creation and maintenance is often neglected, leading to inadequate and even inexistent documentation. Thus, it is not unusual for developers to deal with unfamiliar code they have difficulties in comprehending. Browsing the official documentation, or accessing online resources,...

Opinion mining for software development

Lin, Bin ; Bavota, Gabriele (Dir.) ; Lanza, Michele (Codir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Università della Svizzera italiana, 2020 ; 2020INFO010.

Opinion mining, which uses computational methods to extract opinions and sentiments from natural language texts, can be applied to various software engineering (SE) tasks. For example, developers can mine user feedback from mobile app reviews to understand how to improve their products, and software team leaders can assess developers' mood and emotions by mining communication logs or commit...

Modeling user information needs on mobile devices : from recommendation to conversation

Aliannejadi, Mohammad ; Crestani, Fabio (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Università della Svizzera italiana, 2019 ; 2019INFO010.

Recent advances in the development of mobile devices, equipped with multiple sensors, together with the availability of millions of applications have made these devices more pervasive in our lives than ever. The availability of the diverse set of sensors, as well as high computational power, enable information retrieval (IR) systems to sense a user’s context and personalize their results ...
