summary from session 2

some general topics that arise

presentation: # slides, # words, eyes and body, reading slides, walk toward light, colors, outline
Eugenia, Maria (#slides), Glauco (walks to...), Eduardo (table), Burak (color), outline (Byron)
when you have 10 minutes to present you should go directly to the point

relevance of the problem
- Eduardo/testing, Byron/architecture


generalization/threads to validity
- combination of studies (Eugenia, Glauco, Eduardo)

publishing agreement:
- see Eugenia's work, Burak
- in OSS see Normi's work
planning and risks in research:
- iterations (see Eugenia's work)
- how many studies are you going to do? (see Glauco's, see Eduardo (6 studies?), )
- how many hypotheses? (see Glauco's) from a statistical point of view you should only use a piece of data once. carefully when writing hypotheses.
- realistic? Eduardo (which characteristics would you remove?)
- research questions
Eduardo (avoid binary answers)
Burak's questions specific/general
- plan (Burak's picture, Byron's picture)
- start and finish
- how to choose the research method? we should have more focus on this

theory/literature:
see Glauco's work, very good in Byron's paper according to Eugenia,

reproducible?
- Eduardo's

- important to think about language
specially when reviewing hypotheses

- data collection and analysis procedure
see Burak's work
Normi's work/questionaire
open source easier (Normi) because there are no secret issues

- metrics
that change over time (for example programming language)
see Burak's work, cyclomatic complexity (see Byron's paper)

- commonalities
Normi, Eduardo, Burak, Byron
the work of Normi is metrics oriented

- importance of getting feedbacks/criticism from a wider community than supervisor and friends / peer review
interaction between students (by the blog?)
