We have a new member in SDCL – Gleiph Ghiotto. Gleiph is a 3rd year PhD student from Fluminense Federal University. His advisor is professor Leonardo Murta. Gleiph will spend six months in our lab investigating merging and diffing approaches in open source repositories.
Congratulations to Ulyana Skladchikova and Matias Giorgio, two of the winners in the UC Irvine Software Design Competition. Participants first produced a design – describing either a system’s architecture and design or its user experience – and were then given some of the designs produced by others, producing a second revised design incorporating insights they […]
We’re very happy to announce that the National Science Foundation has awarded SDCL a $1.4M grant to investigate the application of microtask crowdsourcing to programming. More details in the official NSF announcement.
Two members of SDCL – André and Thomas – attended ICSE 2014 in Hyderabad, India. André served as a Program Chair of ICSE, helping to select the program of ICSE. Thomas served as an organizer of a new workshop on Crowdsourcing in Software Engineering (CSI-SE). Both ICSE and CSI-SE went very well, and we had […]
We have two new members in SDCL for the summer: Danilo is B.Sc. Student majoring in Computer Engineering at the Federal University of Sao Carlos, Brazil. He is a former exchange student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign during Fall 2013 and Spring 2014. He will work with Christian on how to apply crowd […]
We needed to do some serious data mining on a budget, so we built a 45 Raspberry Pi Beowulf cluster. It’s working great and is a welcomed member of the lab :).
UC Irvine hosted a meeting of the SCALE research group. SDCL had posters on several research projects. Lots of great discussion!
Nick Mangano and Mengyao Zhao went to CHI this year in Toronto. Nick gave a talk on Calico called “Supporting Informal Design with Interactive Whiteboards”. Mengyao presented a paper called “A Doodled Us: A Design Case Study On Urban Collaborative Art With Arduino” at the Socially Engaged Art Practice in HCI workshop.
Mengyao’s team (group with Kate Ringland, Oliver Haimson, Nathan Major and Kalyda Tokhi), DanceCraft, won 2nd place and the Social Media Award in the 2014 annual autism appjam. Check more information about the project here: http://dancecraftforautism.wordpress.com/
Thomas gave on a talk on microtask programming at MobileWorks with plenty of great discussion and feedback! Before the talk:
