Invitation to my PhD Defense "Enriching Reverse Engineering with Feature Analysis
by Orla Greevy 26 Apr '07

26 Apr '07

Hello everyone, on Thursday 3rd of at May at 9:00 I will defend my Ph. D. thesis entitled "Enriching Reverse Engineering with Feature Analysis". The defense will take place in room 003 in the IWI building on Engehaldenstrasse 8, 3012 Bern. Please find the abstract below. After the defense, there will be an apero in the Cafeteria of the building S14 on Schutzenmattstrasse 14. Everybody is cordially invited to the defense and to the apero. With best regards Orla Greevy Software Composition Group Universitaet Bern System comprehension is a prerequisite for software maintenance and evolution, but it is a time-consuming and costly activity. In an effort to support system comprehension, researchers have devised many different reverse engineering techniques. Several of these are based on statically analyzing the source code. Purely static analysis techniques, however, overlook valuable end-user knowledge of how a system behaves at runtime. To address this problem, several researchers have identified the potential of exploiting features in a reverse engineering context. Features are abstractions of a system's problem domain that well- understood by end-users. They encapsulate knowledge of a problem domain and denote units of system behavior. Thus, they represent a valuable resource for reverse engineering a system, The main body of feature-related reverse engineering research is concerned with \emph {feature identification}, a technique to map features to source code. To fully exploit features in reverse engineering, however, we need to extend the focus beyond feature identification and exploit features as primary units of analysis. We formulate our thesis as follows: To exploit the inherent domain knowledge of features for object- oriented system comprehension, we need to explicitly model features, their relationships to source artefacts, and their relationships to each other. The contribution of our work is twofold: on the one hand, we enrich reverse engineering analysis of object-oriented systems with semantic knowledge of features, and on the other hand, we introduce new techniques that treat features as the primary entities of analysis. Our key contribution is our definition of Dynamix, a meta-model for expressing feature entities in the context of a structural meta-model of source code entities. Using case studies, we demonstrate how our feature-centric reverse engineering techniques, based on Dynamix, exploit feature knowledge to establish traceability between the problem and solution domains throughout the life-cycle of a system.

by Sabine Gerber 24 Apr '07

24 Apr '07

Einladung zum nächsten Kolloquium: Dienstag, 29.05.2007, 17.30 Uhr Uni Engehalde, Engehaldenstrasse 8, 3012 Bern Hörsaal 001 (1. UG) Referent: Prof. Andreas Dengel, Universität Kaiserslautern und Deutsches Forschungszentrum für Künstliche Intelligenz (DFKI) Titel: Knowledge Technologies for the Semantic Desktop Abstract: The web of information has turned into a web of people and will further turn into a web of meaning. The success of semantic technologies is strongly depending on high potential applications with appropriate business models. A promising way to build successful applications starts at the individual workspace allowing to evolutionary gather knowledge by observing the user and learn from her/his actions to work with information within processes. I will further demonstrate the trends towards the universal semantic workspace and technologies helping to make this real. Freundliche Grüsse Sabine Gerber Sekretariat Prof. H.

WOOR '07 - call for papers
by Harald Gall 30 Mar '07

30 Mar '07

=========================================================== WOOR 2007 =========================================================== Call for Contributions Workshop on Object-Oriented Reengineering 10th Anniversary Edition http://smallwiki.unibe.ch/woor2007/ 30th of July 2007, Berlin, Germany =========================================================== Hosted at the 21th European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP 2007) http://2007.ecoop.org/ 30th of July-3 of August 2007, Berlin, Germany Important Dates --------------- Workshop contribution submission: 13th of May 2007. Notification of acceptance: 31st of May 2007. Publication of the program: 15th of June 2007 Workshop date: 30th of July 2007. Contributions: Building on Previous Years ----------------------------------------- The very first WOOR workshop was organized in 1997 in conjunction with the ESEC/FSE'97 Conference in Zurich, Switzerland. During these past 10 years, participants to the workshop have been actively contributing to the state-of-the-art on reengineering ofobject-oriented systems. In this special 10th anniversary edition, we want to continue in that tradition. We explicitly solicit position papers that reflect on the past 10 years and--or build a vision of what the future 10 years might bring. Therefore, we welcome contributions from researchers, tool producers, and methodology providers in addition to position papers on the past and next 10 years of OO reengineering: Areas of interests include, but are not limited to: - Overview papers, reflecting on the history of OO reengineering - Vision papers, predicting what the next 10 years might bring - Experiences on re-engineering large object-oriented systems - Migration towards aspect orientation - Design model extraction - Documentation and re-use of object-oriented systems - Analysis of object-oriented systems re-usability and flexibility - Abstract models of object-oriented systems - Refactoring Operations - Software Evolution - Metrics or heuristics to measure the need improvement - Design patterns in reengineering practices - Tools supporting all of the above activities. - Software evolution analysis and visualization Schedule of the Workshop ------------------------ As is tradition in WOOR, we actively seek a format which emphasizes fruitful interactions and discussions. This typically involves brief (5 minutes) presentations of position papers; break-up sessions in discussion groups, and plenary meetings to discuss results. Sometimes we ask participants to present and summarize someone else's position paper, a very way pleasant to stimulate discussions. Intended Audience ----------------- The workshop is intended to software engineering professionals with experience in object-oriented reengineering; either people who are actively engaged in reengineering projects or people who develop or research methodologies and tools. Each participant is requested to submit a position paper in advance and each participant is supposed to read all the submitted material, so that the workshop itself can be devoted to discussion instead of presentations. Submissions will be made electronically to facilitate the rapid exchange of information. The upper limit for the number of participants is 25 and the participants will be selected on the basis of the submitted contribution. Submission Guidelines --------------------- BE ELECTRONIC. Submit your position paper in PDF, so that we can collect all of the submissions on the web-site. A separate abstract including the e-mail addresses of the authors and a URL to their home pages MUST be submitted in HTML. Submit everything by e-mail to both of the two following e-mail addresses guehene(a)iro.umontreal.ca and roel.wuyts(a)imec.be. BE SHORT. Propose only one idea. We all know that you are a quality researcher with plenty of good ideas. Only, we have limited resources and we must focus. Please keep all position papers under five pages. Perhaps a workshop reader will be organized again this year. BE INNOVATIVE. It is okay to propose a recent idea that still has some unfinished sides to it. It is supposed to be a WORKshop, not a mini-conference. BE A REBEL. Neglect these guidelines if you feel that your idea needs a special treatment in some way. Publication and Sponsoring -------------------------- Springer will publish a workshop reader (as in the case of previous ECOOP) that will appear after the workshop and that will contain workshop reports (written by the organizers), not the position papers submitted by the participants. The organizers plan to publish the position papers in a technical report at University of Montreal. This event is partly sponsored by the Belgian Science Policy (BELSPO), the Région Wallone, the Interuniversity Attraction Poles Programme via the MoVES (Modelling, Verification and Evolution of Software) research project, and the Fonds de la Recherche Fondamentale Collective via the Research Center on Structural Software Improvement.

CFP - Deadline Extension - SPAC 2007
by E. Segura 06 Mar '07

06 Mar '07

-The paper submission deadline has been extended to March 18, 2007 -------------------------------------------- The First IEEE International Workshop on Software Patterns: Addressing Challenges ***SPAC 2007*** Call for Papers Beijing, China, July 24-27, 2007 (in conjunction with COMPSAC 2007) http://conferences.computer.org/compsac/2007/ (COMPSAC 2007 Link) http://conferences.computer.org/compsac/2007/workshops/SPAC (Workshop Link-1) http://www.engr.sjsu.edu/~fayad/workshops/COMPSAC07 (Workshop Link-2) http://www.vrlsoft.com/workshops/SPAC07 (WorkshopLink-3) -------------------------------------------- THEME OF THE WORKSHOP As software increases in size and becomes more complex and costly, the need for techniques to ease software development is likewise increasing. Over the last decade, pattern community has evolved and received more interest in both academia and industry. Developing software using patterns holds the promise to reduce the cost and condensing the time of developing software systems, while simultaneously maintaining the quality of these systems. However, the potential of using patterns in developing systems is not fully realized and we need to address many challenges. For example, developing pattern repositories and catalogs, from which patterns can be retrieved and reused, still forms a challenge to software engineering, knowledge engineering and information systems communities. In addition, the need for (semi-) automated approaches for patterns mining and integration poses several open research questions to the software engineering community. Many think these challenges and others preclude the realization of the benefit of patterns as a reuse approach. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners who are interested in resolving research challenges or who have practical experience with the different issues of patterns reuse and integration to discuss and advance the state-of-the-art and the state-of-the-practice in patterns reuse. Patterns have emerged as a promising reuse technique for both improving the quality and reducing the cost and time of software development. However, there is an immense belief that patterns have not fulfilled the expectations software developers wanted. Nevertheless, this belief does not rebuff the fact that patterns, as a concept, have the potential to play a key role in developing systems in the near future. This near future will never come unless there are serious attempts from both developers and researchers to investigate and provide creative solutions to current challenges that hinder utilizing patterns in practice. Among these challenges, this workshop focuses on investigating how to develop systems using patterns. We are sure that this topic will attract many developers and researchers in the field to participate in this workshop. WORKSHOP CHALLENGES The workshop will address software patterns challenges and debate several issues related to the following questions. We want researchers, framework developers, and application developers to discuss and debate the following questions related to: I. Pattern Creation and Development a. Leaving experience claim on the side, can you show how to create and develop patterns? b. What are the bases of creating patterns? c. Are there guidelines, methodologies, and/or processes for pattern creations and developments? d. Would you show an example or two? II. Patterns Selection Process: a. How does one select analysis and design patterns to build any system? b. What is the basis for selecting these patterns? c. If someone would like to build a system from patterns, how does she select patterns? d. What kind of patterns should one select to build a system from patterns? e. Is there a guideline for the selection process? III. Patterns Composition a. How does one integrate the selected patterns to build any system? or How does one compose any system from patterns? b. What are the various claims related to patterns composition? Are they true? c. Are there guidelines or techniques for patterns composition? Would you illustrate how to use them? IV. System of Patterns and General Reuse a. What do we mean when we say "systems of patterns"? b. Are the various claims related to building any system from patterns reasonable? c. How to develop pattern repositories and catalogs, from which patterns can be retrieved and reused? d. Are there automated approaches for patterns mining and integration? e. What other concepts will help build any system from patterns? . V. Impacts a. What is the impact of software stability on the above issues?

Selected authors (representing the main trends) will be given 20 minutes to explain how their position relates to other positions and what each sees as the three major issues. We expect about 5-10 position papers. (Estimated time: 120-130 minutes) 3. The organizers will propose an identification of the major issues, and the participants will then discuss and select what they think are the hottest issues to be examined. (Estimated time: 10-15 minutes) 4. The participants will work for 70-95 minutes in small groups, with a designated moderator in each group. The groups will each deal with two different hot issues identified and will produce a summary in the form of points and counterpoints, showing either how several views are irreducibly opposed or how they are complementary. The number of groups will depend on the number of participants and number of issues selected; ideally there should be 3-5 p people in each group. (Estimated time: 60-70 minutes) 5. Each group will be given 10-15 minutes to present its findings to the workshop. A closing discussion will follow. The workshop report will be written on the basis of these findings and will include an agenda for future exploration and cooperation; it will be made available through the WWW and FTP.

These deadlines are firm, i.e. no additional extensions can be given. ============================================================================ TOOLS EUROPE 2007 Objects, Models, Components, Patterns ETH Zurich, Switzerland 24-28 June 2007 http://tools.ethz.ch/ ============================================================================ Call for Papers TOOLS EUROPE 2007 will be devoted to the combination of technologies that have emerged as a result of object technology becoming "mainstream". Like its predecessors, TOOLS EUROPE 2007 combines an emphasis on quality with a strong practical focus. This is the 45th TOOLS conference. Started in 1989, TOOLS conferences, held in Europe, the USA, Australia, China and Eastern Europe, have played a major role in the development of object technology field; many of the seminal concepts were first presented at TOOLS. After an interruption of four years, the conference is now revived to reflect the maturing of the field and the new challenges ahead. Contributions are solicited on all aspects of object technology and neighbouring fields, in particular model-based development, component-based development, and patterns (design, analysis and other applications); more generally, any contribution addressing topics in advanced software technology fall within the scope of TOOLS. Reflecting the practical emphasis of TOOLS, contributions showcasing applications along with a sound conceptual contribution are particularly welcome. For a non-exclusive list of potential topic areas see the conference Web page. Submission Guidelines All contributions will be subject to a rigorous selection process by the international Program Committee, with a stress on originality, practicality and overall quality. Every paper will be reviewed by at least 4 committee members. The acceptance rate will be published in the conference proceedings; TOOLS is committed to a fair and extensive peer-review process establishing a high standard in the area of modern practices in software engineering. By submitting a paper to TOOLS, authors warrant that the work is original and that the paper or a similar contribution is neither published nor considered for publication elsewhere. Submissions should follow the publication format of the Journal of Object Technology (JOT). Papers should be limited in size to 20 single-spaced pages. Further details are available from the website.
