Abstract— Today data sources are pervasive and their number is growing tremendously. Current tools are not prepared to exploit this unprecedented amount of information and to cop...
Controlled experiments are a key approach to evaluate and evolve our understanding of software engineering technologies. However, defining and running a controlled experiment is a...
Due to increasing design complexity new methodologies for system modeling have been established in VLSI CAD. The SystemC methodology gains a significant reduction of design cycle...
With advances in process technology, the feature sizes are decreasing, which leads to higher defect densities. More sophisticated techniques, at increased costs are required to av...
Traditional techniques of traceability detection and management are not equipped to handle evolution. This is a problem for the field of software architecture, where it is critica...
