Understanding programs with concept assignment and related technologies =======================================================================

Nov 9, 2006

HEG - Haute école de gestion Univ. of Applied Sciences Campus Battelle, Building F. 7, rte de Drize 1227 Geneva Room C210

Speaker ------- Dr Nicolas Gold King's College London

Agenda ------ 17h15 Talk and Q/A

Abstract ======== Program understanding has long been recognised as a necessary but difficult part of the software maintenance process. Concept assignment approaches aim to aid this task by linking domain-level information (concepts) to parts of source code. Although concept assignment was originally proposed to aid comprehension, recent work has extended it to enable executable component extraction on the basis of concept-level criteria. This talk will present an overview of this recent work (undertaken in the CONTRACTS research project) describing algorithms developed for component extraction, experiments with new methods to improve concept assignment, and studies of program characteristics that help to explain the behaviour of techniques that rely on program dependence information.

Bio === Dr Gold is a lecturer in the Department of Computer Science at King's College London, deputy director of the Centre for Research in Evolution, Search and Testing (CREST) and director of the Service-Oriented Software Research Network (SOSoRNet). He received his Ph.D. from the University of Durham in 2000 and his primary research interests are in software evolution using reverse engineering and service-oriented computing. His work in reverse engineering has produced methods for concept assignment and component extraction, and he has worked on architectures, negotiation methods, and comprehension approaches for service-oriented software.
