1) Title of Website - Center for Big(ger) Data in Software Engineering

2) Home Page:

Data has always been used in every company irrespective of its domain to
improve the operational efficiency and the product’s quality.
However, analyzing and extracting information from “Big Data” is the
next revolution in technology, since previously unknown nuggets of
information are now made visible. Likewise in software engineering, data
collected about the development of software, the operation of the
software in the field, and the users feedback on software have been used
before. However, collecting and analyzing this information across
hundreds of thousands or millions of software projects gives us the
unique ability to reason about the ecosystem at large, and software in
general.

At the Center for Big(ger) Data in Software Engineering within the
Software Engineering department at RIT, we have assembled a team of
experts who have leveraged software engineering datasets that are
several Tera bytes and span over 100,000s of software projects, to solve
different software engineering challenges - Supporting mobile app
developers, recommending architectural changes, secure software
development practices, etc.

External collaborators and RIT students who would like to work with any
of us on any of the Big(ger) SE datasets that we have mined, please do
email one of the faculty members.
