Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Software
  • Operating system
  • Software engineering

Nachiappan Nagappan mostly deals with Software quality, Software, Software engineering, Windows Vista and Software metric. His work carried out in the field of Software quality brings together such families of science as Software construction, Reliability engineering, Field and Code. The Software study combines topics in areas such as Domain, Data mining, Artificial intelligence, Machine learning and Empirical research.

His Software engineering research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Empirical process and Process. His research integrates issues of Software development process, Overhead, Test code and Distributed development in his study of Windows Vista. His Software metric research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Software measurement and Windows Server.

His most cited work include:

  • Mining metrics to predict component failures (646 citations)
  • Use of relative code churn measures to predict system defect density (617 citations)
  • Understanding network failures in data centers: measurement, analysis, and implications (547 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Nachiappan Nagappan mainly investigates Software, Software engineering, Software quality, Software development and Reliability engineering. His studies in Software integrate themes in fields like Empirical research, Data mining and Process. The concepts of his Software engineering study are interwoven with issues in Software analytics, Software development process, Personal software process, Software peer review and Social software engineering.
