Software frameworks enable developers to reuse existing well tested functionalities instead of taking the burden of implementing everything from scratch. However, to meet application specific requirements, the frameworks need to be customized via extension points. This is often done by passing a framework related object as an argument to an API call. To enable such customizations, the object can be...
The use of software frameworks enables the delivery of common functionality but with significantly less effort than when developing from scratch. To meet application specific requirements, the behavior of a framework needs to be customized via extension points. A common way of customizing framework behavior is by passing a framework related object as an argument to an API call. Such an object can...
Code clones are defined to be the identical or nearly similar code fragments in a code-base. According to a number of existing studies, code clones are directly related to bugs and inconsistencies in software systems. Code cloning (i.e., creating code clones) is suspected to propagate temporarily hidden bugs from one code fragment to another. However, there is no study on the intensity of bug-propagation...
Traditional code search engines often do not perform well with natural language queries since they mostly apply keyword matching. These engines thus require carefully designed queries containing information about programming APIs for code search. Unfortunately, existing studies suggest that preparing an effective query for code search is both challenging and time consuming for the developers. In this...
Although peer code review is widely adopted in both commercial and open source development, existing studies suggest that such code reviews often contain a significant amount of non-useful review comments. Unfortunately, to date, no tools or techniques exist that can provide automatic support in improving those non-useful comments. In this paper, we first report a comparative study between useful...
The domain of plant genotyping and phenotyping presents a number of challenges in the area of large data computation. Various tools and systems have been developed to automate the scientific workflows and support the computational needs of this domain. In this paper, we review a number of the popular systems (i.e., Galaxy, iPlant, GenAp and LemnaTec) in the domain of plant genotyping and phenotyping...
Modern embedded systems are typically implemented using both programmable processors and application specific hardware in order to meet real time design goals, besides other metrics, such as, performance, area and cost. The availability of programmable processors and application specific hardware enables an application architect to partition the execution of the given application code (specified in...
The NiCad Clone Detector is a scalable, flexible clone detection tool designed to implement the NiCad (Automated Detection of Near-Miss Intentional Clones) hybrid clone detection method in a convenient, easy-to-use command- line tool that can easily be embedded in IDEs and other environments. It takes as input a source directory or directories to be checked for clones and a configuration file specifying...
