Abstract (*)

A popularidade do desenvolvimento global de software Open Source aumenta a necessidade de busca por especialistas capazes de auxiliar outros desenvolvedores na resolução de tarefas complexas. O desafio é: dada uma tarefa, como identificar o melhor especialista (ou um conjunto de especialistas) para executá-la? Este problema é chamado de localização de especialistas. Algumas das dificuldades desta pesquisa são o grande volume de dados produzido, a ausência de maiores detalhes técnicos dos envolvidos e os diferentes níveis de colaboração. O objetivo deste trabalho é detectar especialistas e identificar grupos com participantes experientes em determinados tópicos em um fórum Q&A. Para tal, o fórum StackOverflow foi modelado como uma rede complexa. O método apresentado é composto pela detecção de comunidades sobrepostas através do algoritmo NetSCAN. Através de uma análise temporal foram reveladas as aptidões dos desenvolvedores, mostrando também uma tendência de mudança de seus interesses. A avaliação do método foi feita através de uma análise de viabilidade, comparando as notas das respostas dos especialistas (apontados pelo método proposto) com as notas das respostas dos usuários comuns.

Abstract

The global open source software development popularity motivates the search for experts with capability of helping other developers in solving complex tasks. The challenge is: given a task, how to identify an expert (or set of experts) to execute it? This problem is named the expert-location problem. Some of these search difficulties are the large amount of data, the lack of technical details about the candidates and the different levels of collaboration. This work aims to detect experts and to identify groups with experienced members in some topics in Q&A forums. To achieve these goals the StackOverflow forum was used and modeled as a complex network. The presented method uses NetSCAN algorithm to detect overlapping communities in social networks. Through a temporal analysis the developers’ skills were revealed. It was also found out that some users are changing their interests over time. The evaluation was conducted through a viability analysis by comparing the scores of the answers given by experts (indicated by the proposed method) and by common users.
