fab-less business model in semiconductor industry has led to serious concerns about trustworthy hardware. in untrusted foundries and manufacturing companies, submitted layout may be analyzed and reverse engineered to steal the information of a design or insert malicious trojans. understanding the netlist topology is the ultimate goal of the reverse engineering process. in this paper, we propose...

Any response to the software maintenance challenge must address the underlying problem of program understanding. One way of doing this is through reverse engineering. A successful approach to reverse engineering must be both exible and scalable. Most reverse engineering tools provide a xed palette of analysis, extraction, organization, representation, and selection techniques. This paper descri...

ones. For example, a use case exclusively included by another one will be grouped with it to provide a more abstract use case belonging to a higher level use case diagram. As for the UML sequence diagrams abstraction, for each use case (i.e. validated cluster) it is possible to produce a sequence diagram whose objects derive from classes associated with the cluster’s entities, while interaction...

Ever since the establishment of Translation Studies as an independent academic discipline in 1970s, there has been ongoing debate about relationship between theory and practice, to which this paper aims make a modest practical contribution form novel procedure for textual analysis synthesis. Intellectual advances are often triggered by flashes inspiration suggest analogies that facilitate shift...

Model driven development suggests to make models the main artifact in software development. To get executable models in most cases code generation to a “traditional” programming language like e.g. Java is used. To obtain customizable code generation template-based approaches are applied, commonly. So, to adapt the generated code to platform specific needs templates are modified by the user. Aft...
