This replication package allows you to recreate the scientific studies and experiments conducted during the development of Ceres as described in the accompanying paper.
It contains four parts:
- The requirements engineering (RE) documents in the
Requirements_Engineeringdirectory, containing the interview questions and responses of the RE phase and the resulting list of requirements. - The architectural decision records (ADRs) in the
System_Designdirectory, containing the list of ADRs which were decided upon during the system design of Ceres. - The usability study in the evaluation phase in the
Evaluation_User_Studydirectory, containing the task definition for the usability evaluation of Ceres and the results, both as Excel and properly formatted in a PDF. - The results of the experiments made using Ceres in the
Evaluation_SLO_Experimentsdirectory, which contains the results of the different experiment runs and a guide how to recreate the experiment results for validation. - Some screenshots of the Frontend and the Dashboard which cannot be found in the paper are displayed in the
Screenshotsdirectory. - The actual source code of Ceres, without MiSArch, including a docker-compose and necessary config files is packed as a zip-file in the
ceresdirectory.
An anonymized version of MiSArch's Docker deployment configuration can be found at: https://anonymous.4open.science/r/infrastructure-docker-E41B
