A Proposal for a Configurable Silver Standard

Among the many proposals to promote alternatives to costly to create gold standards, just recently the idea of a fully automatically, and thus cheaply, to set up silver standard has been launched. However, the current construction policy for such a silver standard requires crucial parameters (such as similarity thresholds and agreement cut-offs) to be set a priori, based on extensive testing th...

A study of atomic action schemes intended for standard Ada

Although the number of proposals discussing various atomic action schemes is increasing, these schemes are very rarely used in designing practical applications. To a large extent, this is accounted for by the gap existing between the languages used in research and the standard or widely spread languages (e.g. C, C++, Ada 83, Ada 95, Java) employed by practitioners. Moreover, very often research...

A Quality Model for the Ada Standard Container Library

The existence of a standard container library has been largely recognized as a key feature for improving the quality and effectiveness of Ada programming. In this paper, we aim at providing a quality model for making explicit the quality features (those concerning functionality, suitability, etc.) that determine the form that such a library might take. Quality features are arranged hierarchical...
