• Mining Trends of Library Usage. Yana Mileva, Valentin Dallmeier, Martin Burger, Andreas Zeller. IWPSE-EVOL 2009.
  Abstract. A library is available in multiple versions. Which one should I use? Has it been widely adopted already? Was it a good decision to switch to the newest version? We mined hundreds of open source projects for their library dependencies, and determined global trends in library usage. This wisdom of the crowds can be helpful for developers when deciding when to use which version of a library - by avoiding pitfalls experienced by other developers, and by showing up important emerging trends in library usage.
