安然与EUSES:两个电子表格语料库的比较
Enron versus EUSES: A Comparison of Two Spreadsheet Corpora
摘要:
电子表格在公司内部广泛使用,通常构成业务决策的基础。已知有许多情况下,电子表格中的不正确信息导致了不正确的决策。这些案例突出表明了对电子表格的专业使用进行研究的相关性。最近,一个新的数据集可用于研究,其中包含从安然电子邮件档案中提取的15,000多个业务电子表格。有了这个数据集,我们的目标是1)获得公司内部使用的电子表格的特点的透彻理解,和2)比较安然电子表格的特点与EUSES语料库,这是现有的最先进的电子表格,经常使用在电子表格研究。我们的分析表明:1)大多数电子表格在计算量和公式方面都不大,没有高度的耦合,并且它们的公式相对简单; 2)EUSES语料库中的电子表格在测量特性方面与安然电子表格非常相似。
英文摘要:
Spreadsheets are widely used within companies and often form the basis for business decisions. Numerous cases are known where incorrect information in spreadsheets has lead to incorrect decisions. Such cases underline the relevance of research on the professional use of spreadsheets. Recently a new dataset became available for research, containing over 15.000 business spreadsheets that were extracted from the Enron E-mail Archive. With this dataset, we 1) aim to obtain a thorough understanding of the characteristics of spreadsheets used within companies, and 2) compare the characteristics of the Enron spreadsheets with the EUSES corpus which is the existing state of the art set of spreadsheets that is frequently used in spreadsheet studies. Our analysis shows that 1) the majority of spreadsheets are not large in terms of worksheets and formulas, do not have a high degree of coupling, and their formulas are relatively simple; 2) the spreadsheets from the EUSES corpus are, with respect to the measured characteristics, quite similar to the Enron spreadsheets.
