A substantial portion of any software engineer's job is reading code. Despite the criticality of this skill in a budding software engineer, reading code-and more specifically, techniques on how to read code when integrating oneself into a large existing software project-is often neglected in the typical software engineering education. As part of a...

Meetings have always been a significant part of working life and software development is no exception, with meetings of all kinds taking place daily. One type of meeting that is critical to software development that has not been widely studied to date is the recurring software maintenance meeting: a regularly scheduled meeting during which the prim...

Knowledge - of all kinds - is essential to software design. It is well known, however, that most knowledge resides in the developers' heads. Especially when designing at the whiteboard, tool support is minimal, most often non-existent.

The 802.11 and Wi-Fi Direct enable close group communication. Open group communication is complex since it involves multi-group membership in an Ad Hoc execution context. Existing open group solutions address this problem by labeling the selected node with two labels (or IPs), limiting the node membership to two groups. We address this problem, by...

Smartphone’s have gained importance by becoming part of our daily lives. Recently, they have been used in large scale population studies. To gather data, they must be tailored to function as mobile instrumentation nodes. In this study, we analyze voice and text communication in Smartphone networks over a three year make-span. We also analyze Smartp...
