The software engineering community is rapidly adopting machine learning for transitioning
modern-day software towards highly intelligent and self-learning systems. However, the …

Good software quality is a consequence of good design. Model refactoring counteracts
erosion of the software design at an early stage in the software development project …

While developers and users of modern software systems usually only need to interact with a
specific part of the system at a time, they are hindered by the ever-increasing complexity of …

Secure refactoring involves a set of safe transformations aimed at enhancing the overall
security of the codebase. During refactoring, code transformations are performed on …

In the domain of CPPS, long-term maintenance of software is necessary. Refactoring, a

The quality of the software's internal structure tends to decay due to the adaptation to
environmental changes. Therefore, it is beneficial to maintain the internal structure of the …

Context: System modeling usually precedes coding activities during software development.
Addressing model smells in the upfront can avoid their propagation to the source code …

In software development, triaging deals with activities that are involved in the management
of work items, ie, items that need to be completed in a given iteration/sprint. These activities …

Abstract Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) elevates models as first-class artifacts
throughout the development process of a system's lifecycle. This makes it easier to develop …
