A code smell is any symptom in the source code that possibly indicates a bad design or programming problem. Many code smells in aspect-oriented programming (AOP) are very different from those in object-oriented programming. Therefore, new detection strategies should be conceived to identify whether a particular slice of aspect-oriented code is affected by a specific smell. Unfortunately, research...
Developing and maintaining tools for profiling, debugging, testing, and reverse engineering can be difficult when using low-level techniques, such as bytecode instrumentation. We promote tool development in Java using high-level aspect-oriented programming. We demonstrate that the use of aspects yields concise tools that are easy to develop, extend, and maintain, because low-level instrumentation...
Evaluation of software is critical in a world that increasingly relies on software. Several software evaluation methodologies have been developed, but as software solutions increases in number and size, many of them do not scale. Improving scalability of software evaluation methodologies is a challenge and failing to reach a reasonable scalability level likely constrains the adoption of an evaluation...
New experiments at FAIR require new concepts of data acquisition systems. Instead of building hardware trigger systems with strict latency limitations, it is intended to use self-triggered electronics. Front-end components should be time synchronized and will provide data with time stamps. Data streams from many of such components should be forwarded over a powerful sorting network to an event building...
Component-based development methods (CBDM) become largely adopted and used. They replace the traditional methods by the introduction, in their development lifecycle, of two processes: design for reuse and design by reuse. However, these two processes are not clearly established and are combined in the majority of the CBDM. This paper aims to propose an approach to extend a CBDM by the reuse processes,...
We present perflint, a new industrial strength open source analysis tool that identifies suboptimal use patterns of the C++ standard library. Simply by recompiling and running on a representative input set, programmers receive context sensitive performance advice on their use of standard library data structures and algorithms. Our solution consists of collecting traces of relevant library operations...
The development of ubiquitous healthcare applications has proved to be significantly more complex than traditional healthcare applications. In software engineering research, there are two approaches of interest to us for handling the kind of complexity that emerges. The first is the use of domain-specific languages, which abstracts the low-level domain knowledge required when using general-purpose...
We propose static program analysis techniques for identifying the impact of relational database schema changes upon object-oriented applications. We use dataflow analysis to extract all possible database interactions that an application may make. We then use this information to predict the effects of schema change. We evaluate our approach with a case-study of a commercially available content management...
