The GMT offsets shown reflect the offsets at the moment of the conference.

Time Band

By setting a time band, the program will dim events that are outside this time window. This is useful for (virtual) conferences with a continuous program (with repeated sessions).
The time band will also limit the events that are included in the personal iCalendar subscription service.

Abstract

The comprehension of very large-scale software system evolution remains a challenging problem due to the sheer amount of time-based (i.e., a sequence of changes) data and its intrinsically complex nature (i.e., heterogeneous changes across the entire system source code). It is a necessary step for program comprehension, as systems are not simply created out of thin air in a bang, but are the sum of many changes over long periods of time, by various actors and due to various circumstances.

We present SYN, a web-based tool that uses versatile visualization and data processing techniques to create scalable depictions of ultra-scale software system evolution. SYN has been successfully applied on several systems versioned on GitHub, including the nearly 20-year history of the Linux operating system, which totals more than one million commits on more than 100k evolving files.
