Beyond Low-Hanging Fruit: Seeking the Next Generation in FLOSS Data Mining

2006 Donald E. Cummings Memorial Award Lecture. Industrial Hygiene: the founders, the pioneers, and the next generation.

This paper is about the Founders of industrial hygiene, the Pioneers who followed them, and the Next Generation of industrial hygienists. It highlights the development of industrial hygiene and how that development did not necessarily follow a master plan but has nonetheless been constructive and manageable. There has been and continues to be much conversation and debate about the status of our...

Process Mining Event Logs from FLOSS Data: State of the Art and Perspectives

The phenomenon of Free/Libre OpenSource Software (FLOSS) has undoubtedly triggered extensive research endeavors. At the heart of these initiatives is the ability to mine data from FLOSS repositories with the hope to provide empirical evidence to existing questions on the FLOSS development process. In spite of the success produced with existing mining techniques, emerging questions about FLOSS d...

Prediction of Acid Mine Drainage Generation Potential of A Copper Mine Tailings Using Gene Expression Programming-A Case Study

This work presents a quantitative predicting likely acid mine drainage (AMD) generation process throughout tailing particles resulting from the Sarcheshmeh copper mine in the south of Iran. Indeed, four predictive relationships for the remaining pyrite fraction, remaining chalcopyrite fraction, sulfate concentration, and pH have been suggested by applying the gene expression programming (GEP) a...

A Temporal Visual Distribution of Learning Activities in FLOSS Repositories

Process mining is a relatively new eld that encompasses powerful data and process analytics techniques for understanding processes from event data. In addition to these main techniques, it provides means enabling a pictorial representation of the occurrence of events over time. By applying such visualizations to event data from Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) environments, we get a comp...
