  • Supporting migration to services using software architecture reconstruction
    O'Brien, Liam; Smith, Dennis; Lewis, Grace (IEEE Computer Society, 2005)
    There are many good reasons why organizations should perform software architecture reconstructions. However, few organizations are willing to pay for the effort. Software architecture reconstruction must be viewed not as ...
  • Supporting product development with software from the bazaar
    Stol, Klaas-Jan (University of Limerick, 2011)
    THERE ARE VARIOUS scenarios for a software development organisation to adopt Open Source Software (OSS). One scenario is the adoption of OSS products in order to integrate them as components into a final software product. ...
  • A survival kit: adaptive hardware/software codesign life-cycle model
    Lee, Dong-Hyun; Lee, Keun; Park, Sooyong; Hinchey, Mike (IEEE Computer Society, 2009)
    An adaptive hardware/software codesign model enables consumer electronics companies to reduce production cost and maximize profits by progressively modifying codesign options over the life cycle.
  • Sustainable embedded software lifecycle planning
    Lee, Dong-Hyun; In, Hoh Peter; Lee, Keun; Park, Sooyong; Hinchey, Mike (IEEE Computer Society, 2012)
    Time-to-market is a crucial factor in increasing market share in the consumer electronics (CE) market. Furthermore, fierce competition in the market tends to sharply lower the prices of brand-new CE products as soon as ...
  • Swarm technology at NASA: building resilient systems
    Vassev, Emil; Sterritt, Roy; Rouff, Christopher; Hinchey, Mike (IEEE Computer Society, 2012)
    Developing aerospace systems is a complex task driven by standards and safety requirements to ensure reliability of sophisticated hardware and software. NASA future missions include an approach to developing swarm-based ...
  • A Systematic Literature review on fault prediction performance in software engineering
    Hall, Tracy; Beecham, Sarah; Bowes, David; Gray, David; Counsell, Steven (IEEE Computer Society, 2011)
    Background: The accurate prediction of where faults are likely to occur in code can help direct test effort, reduce costs and improve the quality of software. Objective: We investigate how the context of models, the ...
  • Systematic literature reviews in software engineering: preliminary results from interviews with researchers
    Ali Babar, Muhammad; Zhang, He (IEEE Computer Society, 2009)
    Systematic Literature Reviews (SLRs) have been gaining significant attention from software engineering researchers since 2004. Several researchers have reported their experiences of and lessons learned from applying ...
  • A systematic review of comparative evidence of aspect-oriented programming
    Ali, Muhammad Sarmad; Ali Babar, Muhammad; Chen, Lianping; Stol, Klaas-Jan (Elsevier, 2010)
    Objective: This research aimed to systematically identify, analyze, and report the evidence published in the literature to support the claims made in favor or against AOP compared with non-AOP approaches. Method: We ...
  • A systematic review of evaluation of variability management approaches in software product lines.
    Chen, Lianping; Ali Babar, Muhammad (Elsevier, 2011)
    Context: Variability management (VM) is one of the most important activities of software product-line engineering (SPLE), which intends to develop software-intensive systems using platforms and mass customization. VM ...
  • Systems architect and systems analyst: are these comparable roles?
    Downey, Jack (Association for Computing Machinery, 2006)
    The aim of this paper is to define the role of the ‘systems architect’ in the Irish telecommunications software sector and to compare it with Misic’s definition of a ‘systems analyst’ in the information systems arena. ...
  • Taming EMF and GMF using model transformation
    Kolovos, Dimitrios S.; Rose, Louis M.; Abid, Saad bin; Paige, Richard F.; Polack, Fiona A.C.; Botterweck, Goetz (Springer-Verlag, 2010)
    EMF and GMF are powerful frameworks for implementing tool support for modelling languages in Eclipse. However, with power comes complexity; implementing a graphical editor for a modelling language using EMF and GMF requires ...
  • Teaching three quality assurance techniques in tandem – lessons learned
    Kutay, Cat; Ali Babar, Muhammad (IEEE Computer Society, 2005)
    This paper presents our experiences gained in teaching software quality to undergraduate computer science and engineering students at The University of New South Wales. We argue that increasing demand of high quality ...
  • Ten strategies for successful distributed development
    Lings, Brian; Lundell, Bjorn; Agerfalk, Par J.; Fitzgerald, Brian (2006)
    This paper presents an overview of the field of distributed development of software systems and applications (DD). Based on an analysis of the published literature, including its use in different industrial contexts, we ...
  • THORR: a focus + context method for visualising large software systems
    McCarthy, Eoin; Exton, Chris (Association for Computing Machinery, 2004)
    Many attempts have been made to construct tools that aid a programmers understand- ing of source code and system structure. Syntactic highlighting and tabbed interfaces can only be useful to a degree; greater steps need ...
  • Thrashing, tolerating and compromising in software development
    Lopez, Tamara; Petre, Marian; Nuseibeh, Bashar (Psychology of Programming Interest Group (PPIG), 2012)
    Software engineering research into error commonly examines how developers pass judgement: to isolate faults, establish their causes and remove them. By contrast this research examines how developers experience and learn ...
  • Tool diffusion in large open-source projects
    Krafft, Martin F. (2008)
  • A tool for managing software architecture knowledge
    Ali Babar, Muhammad; Gorton, Ian (IEEE Computer Society, 2007)
    This paper describes a tool for managing architectural knowledge and rationale. The tool has been developed to support a framework for capturing and using architectural knowledge to improve the architecture process. ...
  • Tool Support for Automating Architectural Knowledge Extraction
    Ul-Haq, Aman; Ali Babar, Muhammad (IEEE Computer Society, 2009)
    Development of large projects is a knowledge intensive task. Applying knowledge management techniques to project activities can enhance productivity and reduce risks of failures. However, it has been observed that ...
  • Toward a conceptual framework of agile methods: a study of agility in different disciplines
    Conboy, Kieran; Fitzgerald, Brian (Association for Computing Machinery, 2004)
    Since the software crisis of the 1960’s, numerous methodologies have been developed to impose a disciplined process upon software development. It is now widely accepted that these methodologies are unsuccessful and ...
