I am somewhat puzzled by the negative ‘tone’ of Section 5 of your review, labeled ‘Comments’. Under item 1, you say ‘Had the researcher used control theory and practice as a base, nearly the entire book could have been readily condensed into an “application of” medium-length paper.’ To me, this sounds as a pretty negative overall opinion. I know control theory can be applied to software development, software maintenance, and process improvement. I must confess I had not consciously thought of applying it here. It might have allowed him to make certain arguments more concise. I doubt whether it would have reduced the whole thing to a medium-length paper. You noticed in the first paragraph of your review that much of the dissertation has been published in seven papers. These seven papers have together been reviewed by quite a few people. There have of course been quite a few remarks by those referees, but not a single one of them mentioned control theory. This may hint at a serious lack of knowledge of this community. It may also indicate something else. Finally, the external examiner of Frank’s thesis was Dr Shari Lawrence Pfleeger, whom you undoubtedly know. Her written comments on the thesis go as follows. ‘This dissertation does a wonderful job of describing a measurement problem, identifying key issues related to it, deriving from the literature the important lessons learned about the problem in the past, and creating a framework for further understanding and improvement . . . . In summary, Mr Niessink has done a fine job, not only in demonstrating his ability to do good research, but also in synthesizing and extending current research to produce practical, effective solutions to important problems.’ I may be biased, but I do think Frank wrote a good thesis.","PeriodicalId":383619,"journal":{"name":"J.

As with all software, frameworks evolve over time. Once the framework has been deployed, new versions of a framework potentially cause a high maintenance cost for the products built with the framework. This fact, in combination with the high costs of developing and evolving a framework, make it important for organizations to achieve a controlled and predictable evolution of the framework's functionality and costs. We present a metrics-based framework stability assessment method, which has been applied on two industrial frameworks from the telecommunication and graphical user interface domains. First, we discuss the framework concept and the frameworks studied. Then, the stability assessment method is presented including the metrics used. The results from applying the method, as well as an analysis of each of the frameworks, are described. We continue with a set of observations regarding the method, including framework differences that seem to be invariant with respect to the method. A set of framework stability indicators based on the results is then presented. Finally, we assess the method against issues related to the management and evolution of frameworks, framework deployment, change impact analysis and benchmarking.

One of the rst activities in understanding a software system is identifying its subsystems and their relations, i.e. its software architecture. Since a large part of the eeort is spent in creating a mental model of the system under study, tools can help maintainers in managing the evolution of legacy systems, by showing them architectural information. This paper describes an environment for the architectural recovery of software systems called Architectural Recovery Tool (ART). The environment is based on a hierarchical architectural model that drives the application of a set of recognizers, each producing a diierent architectural view of a system or of some of its parts. Recognizers embody knowledge about architectural clich es and use ow analysis techniques to make their output more accurate. To test the accuracy and eeectiveness of ART, a suite of public domain applications containing interesting architectural organizations was selected as a benchmark. Results are presented by showing ART performance in terms of precision and recall of the architectural concept retrieval process. The results obtained show that clich e based architectural recovery is feasible and the recovered information can be a valuable support in reengineering and maintenance activities.","PeriodicalId":383619,"journal":{"name":"J.

They provide the basis for estimating costs and schedules, as well as developing design and testing specifications. When requirements have been agreed on by both clients and maintenance management, then adding to, deleting from, or modifying those existing requirements during the execution of the software maintenance process impacts the maintenance cost, schedule, and quality of the resulting product. The basic problem is not the changing in itself, but rather the inadequate approaches for dealing with changes in a way that minimizes and communicates the impact to all stakeholders. \u0000 \u0000Using data collected from one organization on 44 software releases spanning seven products, this paper presents two quantitative techniques for dealing with requirements change in a maintenance environment. First, exploratory data analysis helps one to understand the sources, frequency, and types of changes being made. Second, a regression model helps managers communicate the cost and schedule effects of changing requirements to clients and other release stakeholders. These two techniques can help an organization provide a focus for management action during the software maintenance process.
