Exploration of development projects of renewable energy applications in the ISBSG dataset: Empirical study

The International Software Benchmarking Standards Group (ISBSG) development and enhancement dataset is a source of data using by academia and industry over around the world. It contains several software projects developed and/or enhanced in different countries for many industrial types or to be used by academia for a systematic empirical studies.

In this work, three data analysis techniques were applied: statistical analysis, data clustering, and data visualization. Both SPSS and Rapid Miner are used to conduct the statistical analysis and data visualization.
