Thus allocating functions and releasing functions must be invoked in pairs. However, many developers ignore this vital rule, and some allocated resources are not released in time, which may cause resource related problems like deadlocks and memory leak. For improving the resource management of device drivers, we propose an approach named Pair Dyn to check these paired functions during runtime. When the driver runs, Pair Dyn records the runtime information of allocating functions such as key parameters and return value, and dynamically detects whether the relevant releasing functions are invoked to free allocated resources during runtime. Before the driver exits, Pair Dyn automatically attempts to invoke the related releasing functions which are lacked in runtime, in order to free the allocated resources of the operation system. We have implemented Pair Dyn with the LLVM compiler infrastructure, and make the evaluation with four real device drivers in Linux version 3.10.1. The experimental result shows that with the low extra overhead, Pair Dyn can provide effective runtime checking for allocate-release paired functions. Moreover, 9 potential bugs are found in the four drivers, which are all fixed automatically before exiting. Finally, no manual modification of the source code is needed with Pair Dyn.","PeriodicalId":380881,"journal":{"name":"2014 21st Asia-Pacific Software Engineering Conference","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133545720","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}

One study that explored the identification of factors that affect project performance found that six factors of organizational culture influence the project outcome for information technology (IT) vendors. This study uses those results to determine several unrevealed points of knowledge that contribute to reducing project failure rates by identifying differences in organizational culture based on an organization's size. Analysis of variance demonstrated that project performance and project planning show positive results in large organizations. Further, the three factors of \"organizational policy toward project performance,\" \"IS development process,\" and \"project manager skills\" show positive results in large organizations, and one factor, \"information sharing within organization,\" shows a positive result in small organizations. The other factors, \"senior manager involvement\" and \"trust between senior manager and project manager,\" do not show differences based on the size of the organization. Given these results, we proposed several organizational solutions for organizations of each size.","PeriodicalId":380881,"journal":{"name":"2014 21st Asia-Pacific Software Engineering Conference","volume":"290 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122732315","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}

These changes have led to difficulties in controlling the development activities and predicting when the development will end. Especially, quality managers try to control software reliability and project managers try to estimate the end of development for planning developing term and distribute the manpower to other developments. In order to assess recent software developments, we propose a generalized software reliability model (GSRM) based on a stochastic process, and simulate developments that include uncertainties and dynamics. We also compare our simulation results to those of other software reliability models. Using the values of uncertainties and dynamics obtained from GSRM, we can evaluate the developments in a quantitative manner. Additionally, we use equations to define the uncertainty regarding the time required to complete a development, and predict whether or not a development will be completed on time. We compare GSRM with an existing model using two old actual datasets and one new actual dataset which we collected, and show that the approximation curve generated by GSRM is about 12% more precise than that generated by the existing model. Furthermore, GSRM can narrow down the predicted time range in which a development will end to less than 40% of that obtained by the existing model.","PeriodicalId":380881,"journal":{"name":"2014 21st Asia-Pacific Software Engineering Conference","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128508424","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 focus of the current mobile industry is on direct implementation, rather than analysis and design. Model-driven engineering practices are ignored, which results in low reusability and lack of portability along with other challenges. In addition, mobile applications also have to support multiple platforms, as an application written for one platform (e.g., Android) cannot run on another platform (e.g., Windows Phone). Each of the platforms in turn suffers from fragmentation. This results in multiple versions of an application that need to be simultaneously maintained. This is a huge burden on the development team, both in terms of cost and effort, due to various platforms that an application supports. This paper proposes a model-driven approach to generate mobile applications for multiple platforms. We carefully identify a subset of UML and propose a modeling methodology for this purpose. We use real use-cases for requirement gathering, class diagram for structural modeling, while state machine are used for behavioral modeling. We focus on modeling business logic layer for the mobile application. We also propose a UML profile for modeling mobile domain specific concepts. Our approach uses Action Language for Foundational Subset of UML (ALF) to specify actions in the state machines. Our approach allows the modeler to automatically generate business logic code for multiple platforms. The approach is supported by an automated tool MAG (Mobile Application Generator). We apply our model-driven approach on an industrial case study 'Scramble' app developed by 'Next In' to demonstrate its viability.","PeriodicalId":380881,"journal":{"name":"2014 21st Asia-Pacific Software Engineering Conference","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116024343","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}

Software documentation, including software architecture design documentation, is an important aid in software comprehension. However, keeping documentation up to date with evolving source code is often challenging and absence of up date or more comprehensive design-level documentation is not uncommon. As a solution, software architecture design may be recovered using reverse engineering techniques. However, existing reverse engineering methods produce complete design diagrams that include all the details that exist in the source code. The absence of abstraction from implementation details limits the usefulness of existing reverse engineering techniques for understanding software. This paper aims to address this problem by providing a method and tool that interactively allows developers to interactively explore a reverse engineered class diagram at scalable levels of abstraction. To this end, we propose a Software Architecure Abstraction (SAAbs) framework and an automated tool which implements the SAAbs framework. The SAAbs framework applies a machine learning scoring algorithm to produce a class importance ranking for class diagrams, this ranking is the basis for software architecture abstraction and visualization. We validate this framework by validating the SAAbs tool using a semi-structured survey. On average, 30 respondents of this survey rated 5.40 out of 6 points, which indicate that this is a useful tool to assist software developers in understanding a system.","PeriodicalId":380881,"journal":{"name":"2014 21st Asia-Pacific Software Engineering Conference","volume":"174 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115722465","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}
