The Influence of Non-Technical Factors on Code Review by Olga Baysal, Oleksii Kononenko, Reid Holmes and Mike Godfrey was awarded a Distinguished Paper Award at the 20th Working Conference on Reverse Engineering (2013).
The paper was invited to be extended for consideration in a special issue of the journal Empirical Software Engineering.
Please come to the inaugural colloquium of the newly revived SCS Colloquium series this Thursday (October 17).
The idea of this series is to foster scientific community, discussion and buzz in the School. It will feature local and visiting speakers, with talks aimed at a general CS grad/faculty audience.
I hope to see you all at the talk, and at the reception in the Fishbowl afterwards!
