Bug report summarization has been explored in past research to help developers comprehend important information for bug resolution process. As text mining technology advances, many summarization approaches have been proposed to provide substantial summaries on bug reports. In this paper, we propose an enhanced summarization approach called TSM by first extending a semantic model used in AUSUM with the anthropogenic and procedural information in bug reports and then integrating the extended semantic model with the shallow textual information used in BRC. We have conducted experiments with a dataset of realistic software projects. Compared with the baseline approaches BRC and AUSUM, TSM demonstrates the enhanced performance in achieving relative improvements of 34.3% and 7.4% in the F1 measure, respectively. The experimental results show that TSM can effectively improve the performance.

Automated bug localization is an important issue in software engineering. In the last few decades, various proactive and reactive localization approaches have been proposed to predict the fault-prone software modules. However, most proactive or reactive approaches need source code information or software complexity metrics to perform localization. In this paper, we propose a reactive approach which considers only bug report information and historical revision logs. In our approach, the co-location relationships among bug reports are explored to improve the prediction accuracy of a state-of-the-art learning method. Studies on three open source projects reveal that the proposed scheme can consistently improve the prediction accuracy in all three software projects by nearly 11.6% on average.

Ethernet passive optical network (EPON) is one of the energy-efficient access networks. Many studies have been done to reach maximum energy saving in the EPON. However, it is a trade-off between achieving maximum energy saving and guaranteeing QoS. In this paper, a predictive doze mode mechanism in an enhanced EPON architecture is proposed to achieve energy saving by using a logistic regression (LR) model. The optical line terminal (OLT) in the EPON employs an enhanced Doze Manager practicing the LR model to predict the doze periods of the optical network units (ONUs). The doze periods are estimated more accurately based on the historical high-priority traffic information, and logistic regression DBA (LR-DBA) performs dynamic bandwidth allocation accordingly. The proposed LR-DBA mechanism is compared with a scheme without energy saving (IPACT) and another scheme with energy saving (GDBA). Simulation results show that LR-DBA effectively improves the power consumption of ONUs in most cases, and the improvement can be up to 45% while it guarantees the QoS metrics, such as the high-priority traffic delay and jitter.
