模型驱动工程中研究工件的质量指南

Quality Guidelines for Research Artifacts in Model-Driven Engineering

Carlos Diego Nascimento Damasceno, Daniel Strüber

摘要:

众所周知,共享研究成果可以帮助人们建立在现有知识的基础上,在实践中采用新的贡献,并增加论文受到关注的机会。在模型驱动工程(MDE)中,公开提供研究工件起着关键作用,尤其是当社区的目标是更广泛地使用人工智能技术时,这只有在大型开放数据集和对其质量的信心措施可用时才是可行的。然而,目前缺乏共同的学科特定的研究数据共享的指导方针打开了机会,误解的真正潜力的研究工件和主观期望的工件质量。为了解决这个问题,我们介绍了一套准则,专为MDE研究的工件共享。为了设计这个指导原则集,我们系统地分析了主要计算机科学场所的通用工件共享实践,并将它们定制为MDE领域。随后,我们对90名具有MDE专业知识的研究人员和从业人员进行了在线调查。我们调查了参与者在MDE研究中开发和共享工件的经验以及在这样做时遇到的挑战。然后,我们要求他们优先考虑我们的每一项指导方针,如必要的,可取的,或不必要的。最后,我们要求他们评估我们的指南是否清晰、完整和相关。在这些方面,我们的指南得到了超过92%的参与者的积极评价。为了促进我们的结果的可重复性和可重用性,我们在\texttt{\url{https://mdeartifacts.github.io/}}的开放存储库中提供了完整的生成工件集。

英文摘要:

Sharing research artifacts is known to help people to build upon existing knowledge, adopt novel contributions in practice, and increase the chances of papers receiving attention. In Model-Driven Engineering (MDE), openly providing research artifacts plays a key role, even more so as the community targets a broader use of AI techniques, which can only become feasible if large open datasets and confidence measures for their quality are available. However, the current lack of common discipline-specific guidelines for research data sharing opens the opportunity for misunderstandings about the true potential of research artifacts and subjective expectations regarding artifact quality. To address this issue, we introduce a set of guidelines for artifact sharing specifically tailored to MDE research. To design this guidelines set, we systematically analyzed general-purpose artifact sharing practices of major computer science venues and tailored them to the MDE domain. Subsequently, we conducted an online survey with 90 researchers and practitioners with expertise in MDE. We investigated our participants' experiences in developing and sharing artifacts in MDE research and the challenges encountered while doing so. We then asked them to prioritize each of our guidelines as essential, desirable, or unnecessary. Finally, we asked them to evaluate our guidelines with respect to clarity, completeness, and relevance. In each of these dimensions, our guidelines were assessed positively by more than 92\% of the participants. To foster the reproducibility and reusability of our results, we make the full set of generated artifacts available in an open repository at \texttt{\url{https://mdeartifacts.github.io/}}.
