We present a novel tool, TASSAL, that automatically creates a summary of each source file in a project by folding its least salient code regions. The intended use-case for our tool is the first-look problem: to help developers who are unfamiliar with a new codebase and are attempting to understand it. TASSAL is intended to aid developers in this task by folding away less informative regions of code...

This paper presents the general concept of a process, and expands on this to present a suggestion for a generic...
We present features of an education system entirely based on a 7-months project, performed by a 6-students team within a virtual company and tutored by an experimented software engineer. We describe some aspects of a past project: functions of the system, technology, deliverables, and assessment. Students' outcomes are drafted in term of roles.
The Computer Science Department at the University of Montana consistently provides a realistic commercial software development and/or maintenance experience for both undergraduate and graduate students. Through the undergraduate capstone sequence and the graduate level two semester sequence in software engineering students learn and apply software engineering techniques. However, they face unexpected...
Knowledge representation is a multidisciplinary subject that needs to apply theories and techniques from logic, ontology and computation. There are a great number of languages able to represent knowledge, among them UML can be considered a suitable language for modelling knowledge. It could be included within the category of visual languages for knowledge representation. On the other hand, numerous...
An important issue to the adoption of any enterprise architectural approach is the availability of tools to support the development, storage, presentation, analysis, improvement and evolution of enterprise architecture representations. As with enterprise architecture methodologies, enterprise architecture tools to support the architectural development process are still emerging. Most important software...
