XSL transformations are commonly employed to transform between the internal representations of XML documents manipulated by an application and representations used for interaction with end-users and with other applications. These XSL transformations need to be updated whenever the underlying XML formats evolve. To address this maintenance problem, we formulate a number of guidelines for designing XSL transformations that are resilient to changes in the schema of the input XML documents. These guidelines are evaluated experimentally on the basis of three case studies. The evaluation shows that the use of these guidelines leads to more concise XSL transformations and to significant reductions in the amount of changes required to adapt existing XSL transformations in response to changes in the input schema.","PeriodicalId":307062,"journal":{"name":"2010 14th European Conference on Software Maintenance and Reengineering","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133692543","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}
{"title":"Adopting and Evaluating Service Oriented Architecture in Industry","authors":"Khalid Adam Nasr, H. Groß, A. Deursen","doi":"10.1109/CSMR.2010.13","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/CSMR.2010.13","url":null,"abstract":"In this paper, we present a descriptive case study covering the re-engineering and further evolution of adopting service oriented architecture (SOA) in industry. The goal of this case study is to identify the possible benefits and bottlenecks of adopting SOA, as well as to come up with best practices and research directions based on real-life experience gained in IT industry. The case involves an application portfolio of over 700 systems for a company in the transport sector. First, the case study involves the engineering of a portal application involving the integration of various services via the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB). Second, the case study is concerned with the setting up of a central coordination point within the organization to deal with SOA-related integration requests and requirements coming from different business units. Finally, the case discusses the actual implementation and integration of a service through the ESB. From this case study, a list of lessons learned and research directions is obtained.","PeriodicalId":307062,"journal":{"name":"2010 14th European Conference on Software Maintenance and Reengineering","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115282884","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}
