A systematic review of common beginner programming mistakes in data engineering [CSEE&T 2025]
Abstract The design of effective programming languages, libraries, frameworks, tools, and platforms for data engineering strongly depends on their ease and correctness of use. Anyone who ignores that it is humans who use these tools risks building tools that are useless, or worse, harmful. To ensure our data engineering tools are based on solid foundations,…

An empirical study of Jayvee, a domain-specific language for data engineering, on understanding data pipeline architectures [SP&E Journal]
Abstract A large part of data science projects is spent on data engineering. Especially in open data contexts, data quality issues are prevalent and are often tackled by non-professional programmers. We introduce and evaluate Jayvee, a domain-specific language for data engineering aimed at reducing barriers to building data pipelines. We show that a structured DSL…

Governance practices for open source foundations in the healthcare sector [ICSOB 2024]
Abstract Open source (OS) foundations are non-profit organizations that support open-source software development projects. OS foundations can be categorized based on their membership and governance structures. This study focuses on vendor-led and user-led OS foundations operating in the healthcare sector. The study has two objectives. The first objective is to explore the similarities and differences…
