Moves Newsletter

Dear Reader, Welcome to the eight edition of the MoVES newsletter. The MoVES network on Modelling, Veri cation and Evolution of Software combines the strength of the leading Belgian research teams in software engineering. MoVES also has a number of foreign partners that complement the expertise of the Belgian research teams. This issue of the MoVES newsletter focusses on two of the foreign partners, namely INRIA Lille Nord Europe (France) and the Delft University of Technology (The Netherlands). With the MoVES project winding down in just a few months, we want to use the opportunity to inform you of some of the recent research that has been going on at the foreign institutions. In particular, at INRIA Lille investigations were conducted in the areas of: the creation of a recon gurable middleware platform with aspects and components (Seinturier et al.), the checking of architectural and implementation constraints for domain-speci c component frameworks using models (Loiret et al.), the integration of context for the adaptation of applications in ubiquitous environments (Romero et al.) and a context-aware dynamic software product line for mobile applications (Parra et al.). At Delft University of Technology meanwhile research has focussed on exploring plug-in test suites (work by Greiler et al.), understanding of Ajax web applications (work of Matthijssen et al.), reverse engineering of spreadsheets (work by Hermans et al.), the creation of a domain speci c language for mobile devices (mobl work by Hemel and Visser) and work on integrated language de nition testing (Kats et al.). Enjoy reading! Andy Zaidman and Laurence Duchien
