ActoMoS is an actor-based software library for the development of agent-based models and for their simulation. This library offers software components and tools for modeling and simulating systems in different application domains. In particular, it allows the definition of agent model by reusing or extending a set of predefined agent models and supports efficient and scalable agent-based simula...

“Of Instagrammatology” starts with a trip to India I took my wife in 2019 as the starting point for meditation on experience of time passing. recount attempt finish reading Marcel Proust’s In Search Lost Time trip, having read first two thirds over thirty years ago, while mid-twenties. This allows me also reflect upon extraordinary technical and cultural changes that have taken place interval b...

Properly structured software libraries are crucial for the success of software reuse. Specifically, the structure of the software library ought to reflect the functional similarity of the stored software components in order to facilitate the retrieval process. We propose the application of artificial neural network technology to achieve such a structured library. In more detail, we utilize an a...

Software intensively depends on external libraries whose relevance may change during its life cycle. As a consequence, software developers must periodically reconsider the libraries they depend on, and must think about library migration. To our knowledge, no existing study has been done to understand library migration although it is known to be an expensive maintenance task. Are library migrati...
