Wataru Mabuchi, an M2 student in our laboratory, presented the following paper at The 24th International Conference on Source Code Analysis & Manipulation(SCAM2024) on Oct 7th-8th, 2024.

Wataru Mabuchi, Yutaro Kashiwa, Kenji Fujiwara, Hajimu Iida: “An Empirical Investigation Into the Use of Dockerfile Preprocessors for Docker Image Management”, In Proceedings of The 24th Source Code Analysis and Manipulation (SCAM2024), Oct. 2024.

This study conducted an empirical investigation into the use of Dockerfile Preprocessors (DPP), a set of scripts designed to generate Dockerfiles compatible with multiple environments.

We collected and analyzed 146 Docker official images from GitHub projects, and we found

  • DPP projects support more images and release more frequently than non-DPP projects
  • The adoption of DPP reduces the effort of creating Dockerfiles, but might not facilitate releases or commit activities.
