The size and complexity of industrial strength software systems are constantly increasing.
This means that the task of managing a large software project is becoming even more …

In today's applications data is produced at unprecedented rates. While the capacity to collect
and store new data grows rapidly, the ability to analyze these data volumes increases at …

To maintain and understand large applications, it is important to know their architecture. The
first problem is that unlike classes and packages, architecture is not explicitly represented in …

The User Requirements Notation (URN), standardized by the International
Telecommunication Union in 2008, is used to model and analyze requirements with goals …

Software maintenance activities require a sufficient level of understanding of the software at
hand that unfortunately is not always readily available. Execution trace visualization is a …

In this paper, we present a semi-automatic approach for summarizing the content of large
execution traces. Similar to text summarization, where abstracts can be extracted from large …

An important part of many software maintenance tasks is to gain a sufficient level of
understanding of the system at hand. The use of dynamic information to aid in this software …

Context: The performance assessment of complex software systems is not a trivial task since
it depends on the design, code, and execution environment. All these factors may affect the …

Software system analysis for extracting system functionality remains as a major problem in
the reverse engineering literature and the early approaches mainly rely on static properties …

Software engineers new to a project are often stuck sorting through hundreds of classes in
order to find those few classes that offer a significant insight into the inner workings of the …
