Effective communication with multimedia requires tight media integration, highly interactive control over multimedia, and the use of multimedia to support group interactions. This paper shows how the MVC paradigm for user interface development can be extended to support temporal media. The resulting framework allows easy specification of media-integrated interactive applications, including multimedia groupware. All examples in this paper have been implemented in Clock, a novel programming environment, and run on IBM, SGI, and Sun workstations.","PeriodicalId":127923,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the (19th) International Conference on Software Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128443419","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are currently four major software process improvement models on the international scene: IS0 9001 and 9000-3, Bootstrap, the SEI Capabiity Maturity Model (CMM) and Software Process Improvement and Capability Determination (SPICE). All these models acknowledge similar state-of-the-practice principles of good software quality development process, but each involves a different take on assesing organizational process maturity. The seminar is intended to provide the necessary background to make an informed choice between (or, combining more thau one, among) these assessments/models, depending on the circumstances of individual organizations.

CONTEXT Windows 95 is an extensive upgrade to the Windows 3.x family of operating systems. The user interface is but one of many areas of the product which featured dramatic changes. The user interface design team formed in October, 1992, near the beginning of the project, and was composed of approximately twelve people skilled in product design, graphic design, usability testing, and computer science. The software developers who implemented the U1 accounted for another twelve or so people. The entire Windows 95 team was over 400 people. FOCUS The design team was chartered with two very broad goals: Make Windows easier to learn for people just getting started with computers and Windows. 0 Make Windows easier to use for people who already use computers-both the typical Windows 3.x user and the advanced, or “power”, Windows 3.x user. Having to design for these two widely-different groups of users told us that this project was not going to be a trivial undertaking. Without careful design and testing, we were likely to make a product that improved usability for some users and worsened it for millions of other users (existing or potential). APPROACH Our approach was anchored by the two usability engineering principles of iterative design and problem tracking.","PeriodicalId":127923,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the (19th) International Conference on Software Engineering","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123556764","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Code analysis tools can provide programmers with different views of the software which may help their understanding activity. To be applicable to real programs written in modern programming languages, these tools need to efficiently handle pointers. In the case of C++ analysis, object oriented peculiarities (like, e.g., polymorphism) have to be accounted for as well. We propose a flow insensitive, context insensitive points-to analysis capable of dealing with the features of the object oriented code. It is extremely promising because of the positive trade-off between complexity and accuracy. The integration of the points-to results with other analyses, such as reaching definitions and slicing, is also discussed in the context of our program understanding environment.","PeriodicalId":127923,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the (19th) International Conference on Software Engineering","volume":"3 4 Pt 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125695810","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A CF is responsible for developing and packaging reusable software components. Data was collected on corrective maintenance activities for the Generalized Support Software reuse asset library located at the Flight Dynamics Division of NASA’S GSFC. We then constructed a predictive model of the cost of rework using the C4.5 system for generating a logical classification model. The predictor variables for the model are measures of internal software product attributes. The model demonstrates good prediction accuracy, and can be used by managers to allocate resources for corrective maintenance activities. Furthermore, we used the model to generate proscriptive coding guidelines to improve programming practices so that the cost of rework can be reduced in the future. The general approach we have used is applicable to other environments.","PeriodicalId":127923,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the (19th) International Conference on Software Engineering","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120950317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
