abstract = {Bug tracking systems play an important role in the
software development process since they allow users
to report bugs they have encountered. Unfortunately,
the information provided in the bug reports may
contain errors since the reporter is not always
acquainted with the technical nature of the software
project. It remains a manual process left to the bug
triager to correct reports with erroneous
information. Consequently, this results in a delay of
the resolution time of a bug. In this study, we
propose to use data-mining techniques to make early
predictions of which particular reported bugs are
assigned to the incorrect component. This way, bug
triagers are assisted in their task of identifying
reported bugs where the "component" field contains an
incorrect value. By using open-source cases like
Mozilla and Eclipse, we demonstrate the possibility
of predicting which particular bug is likely to be
reassigned to a different "component".},
