This makes the program code the only notation necessary for expressing different abstraction levels and improves maintenance of high-level specifications, synchronization of different specifications, and design recovery.","PeriodicalId":341489,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 25th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132163478","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 recover the dependencies, fact extractors analyze the system as a whole and build the dependency graph, parsing the system down to the statement level. At the level of software ecosystems, which are collections of software projects, the dependencies that need to be recovered reside not only within the individual systems, but also between the libraries, frameworks, and entire software systems that make up the complete ecosystem; scaling issues arise. In this paper we present and evaluate several variants of a lightweight and scalable approach to recover dependencies between the software projects of an ecosystem. We evaluate our recovery algorithms on the Squeak 3.10 Universe, an ecosystem containing more than 200 software projects.","PeriodicalId":341489,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 25th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134339670","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 inputs to such transforms are often large and complex; therefore, faults in the models that cause a transformation to generate incorrect output can be difficult to identify and fix. In previous work, we presented an approach that uses dynamic tainting to help locate input-model faults. In this paper, we present techniques to assist with repairing input-model faults. Our approach collects runtime information for the failing transformation, and computes repair actions that are targeted toward fixing the immediate cause of the failure. In many cases, these repair actions result in the generation of the correct output. In other cases, the initial fix can be incomplete, with the input model requiring further repairs. To address this, we present a pattern-analysis technique that identifies correct output fragments that are similar to the incorrect fragment and, based on the taint information associated with such fragments, computes additional repair actions. We present the results of empirical studies, conducted using real model transforms, which illustrate the applicability and effectiveness of our approach for repairing different types of faults.","PeriodicalId":341489,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 25th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128092228","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}

In prior work we proposed the \"Visual Wiki\" concept to describe and implement web-based information management applications. By focusing on the integration of two promising approaches, visualizations and collaboration tools, our Visual Wiki work explored synergies and demonstrated the value of the concept. Building on this, we introduce \"VikiBuilder\", a Visual Wiki meta-tool, which provides end-user supported modeling and automatic generation of Visual Wiki instances. We describe the design and implementation of the VikiBuilder including its architecture, a domain specific visual language for modeling Visual Wikis, and automatic generation of those. To demonstrate the utility of the tool, we have used it to construct a variety of different Visual Wikis. We describe the construction of Visual Wikis and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of our meta-tool approach.","PeriodicalId":341489,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 25th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering","volume":"878 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116164597","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 surmount this issue, requirements engineers often choose to use UML models to capture their requirements. In this paper we discuss the use of Essential Use Cases (EUCs) as an alternative, user-centric representation which was developed to ease the process of capturing and describing requirements. However, EUCs are not commonly used in practice because, to our knowledge, no suitable tool support has been developed. In addition, requirements engineers face difficulties in finding the correct \"essential\" requirements (abstract interactions) in a time efficient manner. In order to overcome these problems, we have developed a prototype tool for automated tracing of abstract interactions. We describe the tool and compare the performance and correctness of the results provided by it to that of manual essential use case extraction efforts by a group of requirements engineers. The results of an end user study of the tool's usefulness and ease of use are also discussed.","PeriodicalId":341489,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 25th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121644827","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}

However, the set of generated traces is generally quite imprecise and must be manually evaluated by analysts. In applied settings when the retrieval algorithm is unable to find the relevant links for a given query, a human user can improve the trace results by manually adding additional search terms and filtering out unhelpful ones. However, the effectiveness of this approach is largely dependent upon the knowledge of the user. In this paper we present an automated technique for replacing the original query with a new set of query terms. These query terms are learned through seeding a web-based search with the original query and then processing the results to identify a set of domain-specific terms. The query-mining algorithm was evaluated and fine-tuned using security regulations from the USA government's Health Insurance Privacy and Portability Act (HIPAA) traced against ten healthcare related requirements specifications.","PeriodicalId":341489,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 25th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125268166","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}

Model/analyzer: a tool for detecting, visualizing and fixing design errors in UML 模型/分析器:用于在UML中检测、可视化和修复设计错误的工具

Modeling tools often react to changes at a coarse level of granularity that make reasoning about errors inefficient and late. Furthermore, there is often a lack of appropriate visualizations of model errors and information on how to fix them. This paper presents the Model/Analyzer tool, an eclipse-based plug-in for the IBM Rational Software Modeler (RSM). The tool lets software engineers define arbitrary design rules and provides instant feedback on their validity in context of a model. Design errors are then visualized together with the information on what parts of the model contributed to them and how to fix them. The tool is fully automated and currently supports OCL and Java as languages for defining the design rules; and UML as the modeling language. The main benefit for the software engineer is the tool's incremental nature if providing instant feedback for many kinds of design errors even for large models.","PeriodicalId":341489,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 25th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121045098","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 paper describes an approach to dynamic system adaptation that utilizes plan-based and architecture-based mechanisms. Our approach utilizes an architecture description language (ADL) and a planning-as-model-checking technology to enable dynamic replanning. The ability to automatically generate adaptation plans based solely on ADL models and an application problem description simplifies the specification and use of adaptation mechanisms for system architects. The approach uses a three-layer architecture that, while similar to previous work, provides several significant improvements. We apply our approach within the context of a mobile robotics case study.","PeriodicalId":341489,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 25th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129145884","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 is a fundamental separation of concerns implicit in this idea: given an application model that expresses system properties independently of architectural style, we can choose a compatible architectural style and then map the application model to one or more architectural models (architectures) in this style. The problem is that we do not have a formal account of this separation of concerns, or the associated architectural maps, sufficient to enable automated synthesis of architectures from application models and architecture style specifications. The contribution of this work is such an account and a demonstration that it enables automated formal derivation of style-specific architectures.","PeriodicalId":341489,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 25th IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121685404","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}
