Abstract summary: We show how utility-based prioritization approaches can be used to support contributors in conventional and open source Requirements Engineering scenarios. As an example, we show how dependencies can be taken into account in utility-based prioritization processes.

Abstract: Requirements Engineering in open source projects such as Eclipse faces the challenge of having to prioritize requirements for individual contributors in a more or less unobtrusive fashion. In contrast to conventional industrial software development projects, contributors in open source platforms can decide on their own which requirements to implement next. In this context, the main role of prioritization is to support contributors in figuring out the most relevant and interesting requirements to be implemented next and thus avoid time-consuming and inefficient search processes. In this paper, we show how utility-based prioritization approaches can be used to support contributors in conventional as well as in open source Requirements Engineering scenarios. As an example of an open source environment, we use Bugzilla. In this context, we also show how dependencies can be taken into account in utility-based prioritization processes.

Attracting and Retaining OSS Contributors with a Maintainer Dashboard [19.885747206499712]
We design a maintainer dashboard that provides recommendations on how to attract and retain open source contributors. We conduct a project-specific evaluation with maintainers to better understand use cases in which this tool will be most helpful. We distill our findings to share what the future of recommendations in open source looks like and how to make these recommendations most meaningful over time.

Generalize then Adapt: Source-Free Domain Adaptive Semantic Segmentation [78.38321096371106]
Prior arts assume concurrent access to both labeled source and unlabeled target, making them unsuitable for scenarios demanding source-free adaptation. In this work, we enable source-free DA by partitioning the task into two: a) source-only domain generalization and b) source-free target adaptation. We introduce a novel conditional prior-enforcing auto-encoder that discourages spatial irregularities, thereby enhancing the pseudo-label quality.

CoreDiag: Eliminating Redundancy in Constraint Sets [68.8204255655161]
We present a new algorithm which can be exploited for the determination of minimal cores (minimal non-redundant constraint sets) The algorithm is especially useful for distributed knowledge engineering scenarios where the degree of redundancy can become high. In order to show the applicability of our approach, we present an empirical study conducted with commercial configuration knowledge bases.
