Decremental Work

Software engineering is now in a belle epoch of empiricism, with data pouring in from open-source projects and process-maturity-seeking companies. A recent trend signifier of maturity is that researchers are looking back, not just forward: besides replicating existing work, they are also challenging assumptions made in prior work. This is an exciting opportunity and direction, and I will review some of work by us and others in this area.
