The body of knowledge of design and development of agent-based systems is now sufficiently mature to be usefully expressed as a pattern language. The essential elements of agent-based decomposition - autonomous agents, relationships between agents, and organisational structures - lend themselves to a pattern-based description. This paper describes an initiative currently underway at Agentis Software to mine, document and evolve a complete pattern language for agent-based systems. These patterns define recurring agent-based structures for both individual agents and multi-agent system architectures. This paper discusses the software engineering motivations for making this investment in patterns by describing the strategic and pragmatic motivations, the pattern mining process, how the patterns are used in the design of agent-based solution architectures, and our experiences in using and evolving the pattern language.","PeriodicalId":150211,"journal":{"name":"Fifth International Conference on Quality Software (QSIC'05)","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121385703","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}

We argue that increasing demand of high quality software makes it imperative to teach a wide variety of skills which are required to deliver quality product or design and implement a quality focused process. We taught three quality improvement techniques to give students a greater appreciation of the range of the techniques available, and their respective strengths and weaknesses. We found it challenging but rewarding to inculcate programming minded students with the skills required to deal with product and process quality related issues. We believe that the experiences gained from this exercise is valuable to those interested in designing and offering software quality education and training at tertiary level.","PeriodicalId":150211,"journal":{"name":"Fifth International Conference on Quality Software (QSIC'05)","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115364171","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}

Web services technology is gaining popularity because of its well defined infrastructure aiming at enabling interoperability among heterogeneous applications. However, this interoperability promise also poses a difficulty in building a Web service management framework which can work across organizational boundaries. Software agents have been recognized as a promising technology for managing Web services. However in many proposed frameworks no agent standard is assumed. In this paper, we propose an extension of our existing Web services-agent integration toolkit WS2JADE for Web services management with FIPA compliant multi-agent systems. In particular, we relate our framework to other solutions in the area and show how new emerging Web services management technologies can be used with WS2JADE for enabling Web services management with agents.","PeriodicalId":150211,"journal":{"name":"Fifth International Conference on Quality Software (QSIC'05)","volume":"230 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122946192","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}

The traditional paper-based inspections are considered too laborious for widespread usage, and thus tool support for inspection has evolved. In parallel, generic document-processing tools such as Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat have developed support for features that can be utilized in inspections. This study aims to evaluate these two categories of tools with respect to their abilities to support software inspections. For this evaluation, the DESMET method will be employed, and a feature analysis of the tools will be conducted. The results of the evaluation show that the generic document producing tools provide many features applicable to inspections that even the dedicated tools lack. On the other hand, some features, such as support for metrics-based process improvement, are more effectively applied in the tools especially designed to support inspections.","PeriodicalId":150211,"journal":{"name":"Fifth International Conference on Quality Software (QSIC'05)","volume":"119 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121781957","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}

Agent UML (AUML), which extends the widely-used UML notation, has proposed a number of notations for modelling agent systems. Arguably the most influential of the AUML notations has been the sequence diagram for defining interaction patterns between agents. However, AUML is not precisely and formally defined, and there is very little in the way of tool support available. In this paper we describe initial steps at resolving these two issues: we precisely define the syntax of (a subset of) AUML by using a textual notation, and we describe a tool that takes a textual AUML protocol and automatically generates the standard graphical rendition.","PeriodicalId":150211,"journal":{"name":"Fifth International Conference on Quality Software (QSIC'05)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121210371","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}

To this purpose, we focus on recent data mining techniques specifically aimed at enabling refined analyzes of workflow executions. Moreover, we introduce a comprehensive system architecture that supports the management of grid workflows by fully taking advantage of such mining techniques.","PeriodicalId":150211,"journal":{"name":"Fifth International Conference on Quality Software (QSIC'05)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126024271","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}

This mechanism is applied after the initial system specification, and is then used to direct incremental development with three separate releases. The scoping described can be applied at any stage of a project, in order to guide consistent scoping back if such is needed. The three levels of scoping that are used are consistent with the approach used in many companies. The approach to scoping requires that scenarios are prioritised manually on a five point scale. All other aspects are then prioritised automatically, based on this information. The approach used allows a developer to indicate what size partitions - based on number of scenarios - are required for each scoping level. The mechanisms are applied to the Prometheus development methodology and are integrated into the Prometheus design tool (PDT).","PeriodicalId":150211,"journal":{"name":"Fifth International Conference on Quality Software (QSIC'05)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121501037","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}

We propose that case studies can be used as effective teaching mediums and a case study centric learning environment can address these learning disabilities. A case study approach can help the students to gain and retain realistic exposure to concepts of software engineering as they are applied in the real world, and the students of today can be groomed as excellent professionals who have experienced the intricacies and complexities of the real world as well as tried their hands to manage these complexities.","PeriodicalId":150211,"journal":{"name":"Fifth International Conference on Quality Software (QSIC'05)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122377619","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}

Several reviewing methods exist to match the needs of different organizations and situations. Still, peer reviews are not practiced as commonly as one would suppose. This study aims at finding out what types of reviewing methods are in use in software companies, surveying the most important benefits of peer reviews and investigating reasons for not utilizing reviews. The study is carried out in companies locating in the Oulu region, but the results can be generalized to all small software companies. The results show that companies that use reviews have adjusted the process for their own needs. The main motivator for arranging reviews is the decreased amount of defects in products while the other aspects of reviews, such as process improvement or knowledge sharing are not considered as important. The main demotivator for reviews is lack of time and people resources.","PeriodicalId":150211,"journal":{"name":"Fifth International Conference on Quality Software (QSIC'05)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123927355","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}
