Parallel programming is widely acknowledged to be more diicult than sequential programming. One reason for this is that parallel programming systems are more diicult to use than their sequential counterparts. In particular, few parallel programming systems can support the software engineering requirements of large applications. We intend to assess and compare the usability of a variety of paral...

Traceability between different views, which exist in cross-functional teams, is essential for concurrent engineering. The views (products) of the various teams must be interrelated to each other and presented in a suitable way to emphasize inconsistencies, conflicts, different opportunities. Moreover, decisions together with their rationales must be made explicit. We have developed and implemen...

Program slicing has been developed as a standard technique used in various software engineering activit ies including program understanding, testing, debugging, maintenance, and complexity measurement. Although both static and dynamic slicing of sequential programs have been applied to software engineering practices, there still are some challenges, problems and issues in slicing concurrent pro...
