There are various models in software engineering that are used to predict quality-related aspects of the process or artefacts. The use of these models involves elaborate data coll...
This paper explores the cognitive limits of estimation in the context of software cost estimation. Two heuristics, representativeness and anchoring, motivate two experiments invol...
Information retrieval is an important problem in any evidence-based discipline. Although Evidencebased Software Engineering (EBSE) is not immune to this fact, this question has no...
