economics-driven software mining
Economics-driven software mining (EDSM) sifts through the re-pository data to extract information that could be useful for rea-soning about not only the technical aspects but also the econom-ics properties related to the development and/or evolution of soft-ware systems, and in relation to the environments in which they are procured, developed, evolved and used. The objective is to provide the analyst with insights into investment decisions related to the development, maintenance, and evolution of software sys-tems. EDSM can also assist the analyst in resource planning and utilization. In this position paper, we define EDSM, describe pos-sible scenarios for realizing EDSM and highlight some challenges.
