Strategies for Improving Software Productivity and Quality

Improving software productivity and quality . . .

THUMMALAPENTA, SURESH. Improving Software Productivity and Quality via Mining Source Code. (Under the direction of Tao Xie.) The major goal of software development is to deliver high-quality software efficiently. To achieve this goal of delivering high-quality software efficiently, programmers often reuse existing frameworks or libraries, hereby referred to as libraries, instead of developing s...

Code reuse for improving software productivity and quality in AOP

Aspect oriented programming languages support the principle of modularity and abstraction by allowing explicit separation between aspects and system core concerns. However, using these tools does not necessarily imply loose coupling as aspect definitions may maintain explicit visibility over application components. In this paper we look at the problem of the binding of aspect definitions to app...

Improving transmission by MIMO channel structuring

In this paper, new space-time coding schemes for multiple transmit and receive antenna systems (MIMO) are proposed. By applying a specific block coding scheme for transmission, the MIMO channel is structured in an advantageous manner. Diversity can be gained simultaneously with savings in receiver complexity. In a second step, such structured schemes and BLAST schemes are combined, offering a c...

Improving productivity and quality in automotive spot welding

China recently surpassed Japan as the world's second largest automobile market after the United States. Annual output of automobiles is close to six million units a year. A key tool in automotive production is the spot welding gun and the industrial robot. One of the most important parameters of a spot welding gun is force tolerance. ABB is helping the Chinese automotive industry improve weldin...
