Consistency Management of Heterogeneous Software Artifacts

Pay-as-you-go Software Artifacts Management

One of the major challenges in software engineering research is to manage software artifacts effectively. However, software artifacts are often changed during software development, the full, one-time integration technique is not feasible to manage such heterogeneity and evolving data. In this paper, we concern about the application of dataspace techniques, which emphasize the idea of pay-as-you...

Efficient (In-)Consistency Management for Heterogeneous Repositories

When a group of authors collaboratively edits interrelated documents, consistency problems occur almost immediately. Current document management systems (DMS) often lack adequate facilities for consistency management. We extend traditional DMS by explicit formal consistency rules. In contrast to many other approaches, we permit inconsistencies and present the consequences to the user, which is ...

Analysis of Software Artifacts

Ontologies as Software Artifacts:

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), a main precursor in the use of ontology for the Semantic Web endorses the use of Ontologies for software development. the analyzed proposals based on taxonomy presented in the above section as a function of Ontologies as artifacts used:  at software development time (for the realization of the stated engineering processes or for other auxiliary processes) ...

Ranking Software Artifacts

Reengineering and integrated development platforms typically do not list search results in a particularly useful order. PageRank is the algorithm prominently used by the Google internet search engine to rank the relative importance of elements in a set of hyperlinked documents. To determine the relevance of objects, classes, attributes, and methods we propose to apply PageRank to software artif...
