Author ProfileAbstract
Finding software developers with expertise in specific technologies that
align with industry domains is an increasingly critical requirement.
However, due to the ever-changing nature of the technology industry,
locating these professionals has become a significant challenge for
companies and institutions. This research presents a comprehensive
overview of studies exploring suitable recommendation systems that can
assist companies in addressing this pressing need. To conduct this
study, we employ a hybrid systematic mapping approach with an initial
number of 1251 studies and a final selection of 21 studies. Our work
focuses on collecting data on key technologies, methodologies, and data
sets utilized in proposed recommendation systems, to design a new
recommendation system that can effectively identify specialists capable
of aligning specific technical knowledge with industry domains. The
outcomes of this study include insights into the current research trends
in this field, alongside a practical overview of considerations
necessary for developing a recommendation system that successfully meets
the criteria for aligning technical skills with industry domains. By
following a hybrid Systematic Mapping methodology and presenting the
outcomes in the form of insights, this research addresses the challenge
of finding software developers with domain-specific expertise in a
rapidly changing technology industry, laying the groundwork for aligning
technical skills with industry domains.Submitted to Journal of Software: Evolution and Process 24 Feb 2024Review(s) Completed, Editorial Evaluation Pending
