  According to Wikipedia, The Mining Software Repositories (MSR) field analyzes
the rich data available in software repositories, such as version control
repositories, mailing list archives, bug tracking systems, issue tracking
systems, etc. to uncover interesting and actionable information about software
systems, projects and software engineering. The MSR field has received a great
deal of attention and has now its own research conference :
http://www.msrconf.org/. However performing MSR studies is still a technical
challenge. Indeed, data sources (such as version control system or bug tracking
systems) are highly heterogeneous. Moreover performing a study on a lot of data
sources is very expensive in terms of execution time. Surprisingly, there are
not so many tools able to help researchers in their MSR quests. This is why we
created the Harmony platform, as a mean to assist researchers in performing MSR
studies.
