For anyone who's in the Boston area, this could be an interesting thing to
attend. It's been forwarded to me through so many chains that I'm not
sure it's an open seminar, but asking the planners couldn't hurt.
Sounds really freakin' cool, actually.

>>> We apply data mining to software version histories in order to guide
>>> programmers along related changes: "Programmers who changed functions
>>> f1 and f2 also changed functions g1 and g2 ...". Given a set of
>>> existing changes, such rules
>>>
>>> (a) suggest and predict likely further changes,
>>> (b) show up item coupling that is undetectable by program
>>> analysis, and
>>> (c) prevent errors due to incomplete changes.
>>>
>>> We have built a plugin for the Eclipse programming environment that
>>> suggests further changes as soon as the programmer starts editing. Our
>>> plugin can correctly predict 26% of further files to be changed and
>>> 15% of the precise functions or variables. The topmost three
>>> suggestions contain a correct location with a likelihood of 64%.

>>>
>>> Andreas Zeller is a computer science professor at Saarland University,

>>> software systems and their histories.
