To save time, developers often search for code examples that implement their desired software features. Existing techniques typically focus on finding snippets a single given query, which means need to perform separate each functionality. In this paper, we propose FACER (F eature-driven A PI usage-based C ode E xamples R ecommender), technique avoids repeated searches through opportunistic reus...

Because of increasing complexity of game software, reuse of exiting code and techniques instead of developing game from scratch becomes necessary to game industry. But games are running on various platforms and diversified with various genres, how to effectively reuse legacy code and increase productivity is therefore a problem. Appearance of game engines partly solved the problem which binds r...

Two types of scrambling code planning methods for multi-layer asynchronous 3GPP W-CDMA systems are developed by modifying the PN offset planning methods for synchronous CDMA systems. One is based on the reuse of code sets and the other is based on the graph coloring optimization. A condition that guarantees no code set confusion is derived. Design examples demonstrate that the graph coloring ba...

Despite the effort inverted the last years in commercial compilers to generate efficient SIMD instructionsbased code sequences from conventional sequential programs, the small numbers of compilers that can automatically use these instructions achieve in most cases unsatisfactory results. This work shows how exposing register level reuse in source codes helps vectorizing compilers as ICC to gene...

Currently available application frameworks that target at the automatic design of real-time embedded software are poor in integrating functional and nonfunctional requirements for real-time embedded systems. In this work, we present the internal architecture and design flow of a newly proposed framework called Verifiable Embedded Real-Time Application Framework (VERTAF), which integrates three ...

Currently available application frameworks that target at the automatic design of real-time embedded software are poor in integrating functional and non-functional requirements. In this work, we reveal the internal architecture and design flow of a newly proposed framework called Verifiable Embedded Real-Time Application Framework (VERTAF), which integrates software component-based reuse, forma...

The Java language includes features that present significant barriers to reuse; in practice, programmers have no choice but to copy and paste code that is not accessible via inheritance. Traits improve code-sharing in Smalltalk by providing a means to reuse such behavior, and we claim that a similar mechanism for Java would overcome not just the lack of multiple inheritance but Java’s other bar...

Software reuse is commonly used to leverage existing assets and to reduce development cost and time. Reuse can be accomplished by several different mechanisms. This paper describes these mechanisms and proposes a classification framework for them. The framework has two dimensions: retest scope⎯how the reuse impacts the need for testing⎯and binding time⎯when the reuse is realized. By examining t...

In the last years, in Italy, software reuse has become an e-government hot topic. In this context, reuse is intended as the large scale adoption of software applications developed by local and independent initiatives. Due to the large autonomy of Italian local public administrations, reuse is preferred to centralized development of applications. The paper presents the experience of a three year...

Code reuse has been an area of study in the academic literature for the past three decades and is widely seen as one of the major areas for improving software productivity. Agile development techniques were first developed in the mid-1990s as a code-oriented method of software development that seeks to improve upon the traditional plan-based methodologies. Both approaches bring value to the sof...
