Thus, there is increasing demand for the self-healing and self-diagnosing of problems or errors arising in systems operating within today's ubiquitous computing environment. This paper proposes a proactive self-healing system that monitors, diagnoses and heals its own internal problems using self-awareness as contextual information. The proposed system consists of Multi-Agents that analyze the log context, error events and resource status in order to perform self-healing and self-diagnosis. To minimize the resources used by the Adapters, which monitor the logs in an existing system, we place a single process in memory. By this, we mean a single Monitoring Agent monitors the context of the logs generated by the different system components. For rapid and efficient self-healing, we use a 6-step process. The effectiveness of the proposed system is confirmed through practical experiments conducted with a prototype system.","PeriodicalId":424175,"journal":{"name":"Third ACIS Int'l Conference on Software Engineering Research, Management and Applications (SERA'05)","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115625133","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}

Some approaches propose to identify requirements by analysing system malfunctioning. Different sources of malfunctioning are dealt with by these approaches: obstacles, conflicts, risks, etc. Our proposal is to analyse each of these sources of malfunctioning using a single notion that we call \"threat\". We propose to use this notion in a method that guides the identification and analysing of each of these sources of malfunctioning. The method helps eliciting requirements to prevent the threat. A threat is defined by a number of variables. This paper presents a literature review of all threats that relate to users. The review is based on a framework that includes several perspectives to analyse user error. The user threats is part of a global threats classification that also covers hardware, environment, design and project types of threats.","PeriodicalId":424175,"journal":{"name":"Third ACIS Int'l Conference on Software Engineering Research, Management and Applications (SERA'05)","volume":"157 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124401375","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":"Tuning system-dependent applications with alternative MPI calls: a case study","authors":"T. Le","doi":"10.1109/SERA.2005.67","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/SERA.2005.67","url":null,"abstract":"This paper shows the effectiveness of using optimized MPI calls for MPI based applications on different architectures. Using optimized MPI calls can result in reasonable performance gain for most of MPI based applications running on most of high-performance distributed systems. Since relative performance of different MPI function calls and system architectures can be uncorrelated, tuning system-dependent MPI applications by exploring the alternatives of using different MPI calls is the simplest but most effective optimization method. The paper first shows that for a particular system, there are noticeable performance differences between using various MPI calls that result in the same communication pattern. These performance differences are in fact not similar across different systems. The paper then shows that good performance optimization for an MPI application on different systems can be obtained by using different MPI calls for different systems. The communication patterns that were experimented in this paper include the point-to-point and collective communications. The MPI based application used for this study is the general-purpose transient dynamic finite element application and the benchmark problems are the public domain 3D car crash problems. The experiment results show that for the same communication purpose, using alternative MPI calls can result in quite different communication performance on the Fujitsu HPC2500 system and the 8-node AMD Athlon cluster, but very much the same performance on the other systems such as the Intel Itanium2 and the AMD Opteron clusters.","PeriodicalId":424175,"journal":{"name":"Third ACIS Int'l Conference on Software Engineering Research, Management and Applications (SERA'05)","volume":"227 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120960432","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, they are often treated separately, one by one. We propose a new type of diagrams, named dependency diagrams, which are able to illustrate the various kinds of relationships existing between scenarios. We make use of a scenario matrix for each scenario and we describe the transformation process of scenarios into state machines, based on the information in the scenario matrices, and that in the dependency diagrams. The result is a number of state machines that can be used for detailed design models and code can further be generated from them. Using our approach, we can bridge the gap between analysis and design and we can bring the developer one step closer to the implementation.","PeriodicalId":424175,"journal":{"name":"Third ACIS Int'l Conference on Software Engineering Research, Management and Applications (SERA'05)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128320144","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}

Systematic use of such patterns can be achieved by tools that support the specification of patterns and their instantiation in a specific application context. In this paper, we present a prototype tool called RBML-Pattern Instantiator (RBML-PI) that generates application-specific UML class diagrams and sequence diagrams from a pattern specification described in the Role-Based Metamodeling Language (RBML), a pattern specification language defining a domain-specific sub-language of the UML. We give an overview of the RBML using the Visitor design pattern, and demonstrate the tool using an RBML specification for the CheckIn-CheckOut (CICO) domain pattern that specifies services to check in and check out items. We use the CICO pattern specification to generate an application-specific UML model of a library system using RBML-PI.","PeriodicalId":424175,"journal":{"name":"Third ACIS Int'l Conference on Software Engineering Research, Management and Applications (SERA'05)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124138615","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 consider two QoS parameters: (i) an application constraint denoting the importance degree of a message, and (ii) an end-to-end delivery deadline. The QoS perceived by the application depends on the scheduling algorithms chosen at the medium access layer. We determine the average response time of a message obtained with three different scheduling algorithms. This evaluation takes into account message segmentation in the Bluetooth MAC layer. The first scheduling is the Bluetooth native scheduling called One-Round Robin (1-RR). The second is a variant of 1-RR where the local scheduling is based on the two QoS parameters considered. The last one, called Class-Based Earliest Deadline First (CB-EDF), takes into account the two QoS parameters both at the local level and at the global level.","PeriodicalId":424175,"journal":{"name":"Third ACIS Int'l Conference on Software Engineering Research, Management and Applications (SERA'05)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130918532","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}

It provides new constructs and tools to improve separation of crosscutting concerns into single units called aspects. The aspect paradigm introduces, in fact, new abstractions in software development. AspectJ is an aspect-oriented extension for Java. Actually, existing object-oriented programming languages suffer from a serious limitation in modularizing adequately crosscutting concerns. Many concerns crosscut several classes in an object-oriented system. However, the aspect paradigm introduces new dimensions in terms of control and complexity. New dependencies between aspects and classes result in new testing challenges. In fact, aspects can interact with any class in a program. Interactions between aspects and classes are new sources for program faults. Object-oriented testing techniques do not cover the new dimensions introduced by aspects. Thus, new aspect-oriented testing techniques must be developed. We propose, in this paper, a new technique to generate test sequences based on the dynamic interactions between aspects and classes. We focus, in particular, on the integration of one or more aspects in a collaboration between a group of objects. The paper also introduces associated testing criteria. The proposed approach follows an iterative process.","PeriodicalId":424175,"journal":{"name":"Third ACIS Int'l Conference on Software Engineering Research, Management and Applications (SERA'05)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133577905","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}

Thus, we introduce a new software cost estimation model for product line engineering that we denote as SoCoEMo-PLE. This model is based on two previous models: the integrated cost estimation model for reuse in general and Poulin's model for PLE. In fact, we present a new model, which takes into account PLE software development cycle approach and takes some features of the two previous cost estimation models. The tool supporting SoCoEMo-PLE is described and an UML modeling is presented.
