system description using data abstraction. The
classification identifies different roles that abstract
data types can play in a system description: providing
simple values; providing the ability to calculate with
simple values; providing the means to build tuples and
sets from simpler types; and providing the means to
express the required systems inputs and outputs.",

design might be used to find problems in complexity and
coupling before interfaces are formalized and code is
written. This paper reviews complexity and coupling
code measures which could be applied to structure
charts. Since there has been little analysis and data
collected in this area, it is proposed that relative
figures of merit can be derived from structure charts.
It is also proposed that in large systems, structure
charts with out of normal figures of merit are
candidates for detailed review. The general outline of
an Automated Auditor is also defined as a tool to
assist designers and reviewers in design analysis.",

abstract = "Object-oriented is a very hot topic and buzzword both
in academia and industry. There are object-oriented
analysis and design techniques, object-oriented
languages and databases, and so on. Many people see the
letters ``OO'', attach a ``G'' to the front, and a
``D'' to the back and deem it to be ``GOOD'' ---
without much consideration for what it means in the
software life cycle. This paper discusses the on-going
(3+ years) object-oriented re-design and
re-implementation in C++ of a commercial CASE tool.
Specifically, why an object-oriented approach was
chosen and the implications and collective experiences
of this approach. In addition to the anticipated
benefits, much of what we experienced was unforeseen
and unexpected.",

introduction to the area of domain analysis as seen
from the software engineering perspective. The approach
is by illustrating the concepts through selected
reported experiences and to point out the specific
characteristics of these experiences that relate to
domain analysis. Definitions are introduced after the
examples to avoid over explaining the concepts. A model
for the domain analysis process is also proposed. The
concept of a library based domain infrastructure is
introduced as an attempt to show how domain analysis is
integrated into the software development process.A
second objective in this paper is to give a perspective
on some of the research issues facing domain analysis.
The nature of the process calls for a variety of
multidiciplinary issues ranging from knowledge
acquisition and knowledge representation to management
and methodologies to cultural and social questions.",

Development System called MIDAS (for Merging Interface
Development with Application Specification) which
allows interface/systems designers to develop an
application-specific user interface interactively, in a
prototyping-oriented environment, while refining the
specification of the intended application itself. The
interface/systems designer receives expert advice on
both interface and application software design
principles, emerging from MIDAS' knowledge base, and
can also animate the intended user dialogue with the
interface being designed via an extensive set of visual
programming aids. The generated interface can be
further customized by the end-user, by flexibly
altering the default appearance of the dialogue
scenarios. Furthermore, the application-specific
end-user interface is also knowledge based. Its domain
knowledge covers user modeling and the application
domain, in order to adapt itself dynamically to
different degrees of user familiarity with the
application, from novice to expert. Both the interface
code and the programming-in-the-large of the
application code are developed within an
object-oriented framework. A proposal for a software
life cycle model based on the rapid prototyping of user
interfaces as a means to refining the specification of
the application all the way down to the import-export
list and module semantics specification for each and
every application module is also presented. The
lifecycle model is rule-encoded in MIDAS' knowledge
base. The interface/systems designer is guided by the
interpretation of those rules. MIDAS aims to provide a
testbed for new ideas in human-computer interfaces,
knowledge-based support of design activities and life
cycle models based on rapid prototyping of user
interfaces.",

estimate the cost of developing software utilizing the
waterfall life-cycle model. The assumptions in the

be unstable or incomplete or when extensive code and
design information are reused. The prototype and reuse
life-cycle models, respectively, were developed to
model these specific situations. The assumptions made
by any life-cycle model directly influence its cost
estimation model; therefore, when the life-cycle model
is inappropriate, its cost estimation model is also
inappropriate. This makes the Cocomo cost estimation
model inadequate for estimating development effort for
software developed utilizing the prototype or reuse
software development life-cycle models. Two cost
estimation models, one for the prototype software
life-cycle model and one for the reuse software
life-cycle model, are presented. Each cost estimation

natural language is through syntactic rather than
through semantic constructs. Conceptual modeling
languages and knowledge representation techniques are
more appropriate for representing domain meaning.
Modern research in linguistics, semantics, and

programming environments is support for implicit tool
invocation; rather than force a user to explicitly
invoke each tool, mechanisms in the environment can
take responsibility for guaranteeing that the right
tools are invoked at the right times. However, these
mechanisms typically intertwine policies of when and
how the tools are invoked, with what the tools do when
they are invoked. Consequently, adapting the
environment to achieve different tool interactions is
often difficult without modifying the code that
implements the environment or the tools. In this paper
we describe a simple, low-cost mechanism that solves
this problem. Specifically, we show how tool
integration based on selective broadcast can be adapted
to allow dynamically configurable policies of tool
interaction. We describe an implementation of these
mechanisms, and show how it supports multiple levels of
users.",

its relationship to evolution, we analyze four designs
for a simple environment. The first three show how
common approaches compromise independence in various
ways. The fourth design demonstrates how our approach
overcomes these problems. Our event mechanism is
specially designed to support integration and

core of object-oriented software development
environments. One of the most important objectives of
object management systems is to maintain consistency
between the vast amount of interrelated objects, which
is generated, accessed, and manipulated throughout the
software life cycle. Consistency management in such
systems is beyond the reach of conventional database
technology due to the complex structure and the
incompleteness of data, the dynamic nature of
constraints, and the need to tolerate various levels of
inconsistency. We investigate the design issues for
consistency management in the context of a Project
Management Assistant. Our consistency manager organizes
constraints into a hierarchy of consistency, and
associates a spectrum of management techniques with
classes of constraints. The various levels of

development, one must provide for cooperative decision
making. In particular, one should be able to base the
decision on whether and how to carry out a given
operation on the consensus of several, possibly
independent, agents. It is important to emphasize that
this is not just a matter of computing the conjunction
of some set of conditions. One must also provide a
mechanism for establishing any desired consensus
structure, which would specify who is allowed to state
which kinds of concerns regarding this operation, and
what the relationship among these concerns should be.
In this paper we propose a general framework for such

This paper addresses the issue of reusability in the
context in which design is achieved by the
transformational development of formal specifications
into efficient implementations. It explores how an
implementation of a modified specification can be
realized by replaying the transformational derivation
of the original and modifying it as required by changes
made to the specification. Our approach is to structure
derivations using the notion of tactics, and record
derivation histories as an execution trace of the
application of tactics. One key idea is that tactics
are compositional: higher level tactics are constructed
from more rudimentary using defined control primitives.
This is similar to the approach used in LCF[12] and
NuPRL[1, 8]. Given such a derivation history and a
modified specification, the correspondence problem [21,
20] addresses how during replay a correspondence
between program parts of the original and modified
program is established. Our approach uses a combination
of name association, structural properties, and
associating components to one another by intensional
descriptions of objects defined in the transformations
themselves. An implementation of a rudimentary replay
mechanism for our interactive development system is
described. For example with the system we can first
derive a program from a specification that computes
some basic statistics such as mean, variance, frequency
data, etc. The derivation is about 15 steps; it
involves deriving an efficient means of computing
frequency data, combining loops and selecting data
structures. We can then modify the specification by
adding the ability to compute the maximum or mode and
replay the steps of the previous derivation.",

obviously unsatisfactory because one has no guarantees

first program-integration algorithm to provide such
guarantees was developed by Horwitz, Prins, and Reps.
However, a limitation of that algorithm is that it
incorporates no notion of semantics-preserving
transformations. This limitation causes the algorithm
to be overly conservative in its definition of
interference. For example, if one variant changes the
way a computation is performed (without changing the
values computed) while the other variant adds code that
uses the result of the computation, the algorithm would
classify those changes as interfering. This paper

affecting objects, processes, and environments. In
process centered environments, change management can be
facilitated by software-process programming, which
formalizes the representation of software products and
processes using software-process programming languages
(SPPLs). To fully realize this goal SPPLs should
include constructs that specifically address the
problems of change management. These problems include
lack of representation of inter-object relationships,
weak semantics for inter-object relationships,
visibility of implementations, lack of formal
representation of software processes, and reliance on
programmers to manage change manually. APPL/A is a
prototype SPPL that addresses these problems. APPL/A is
an extension to Ada.. The principal extensions include
abstract, persistent relations with programmable
implementations, relation attributes that may be
composite and derived, triggers that react to relation
operations, optionally-enforceable predicates on
relations, and five composite statements with
transaction-like capabilities. APPL/A relations and
triggers are especially important for the problems
raised here. Relations enable inter-object
relationships to be represented explicitly and
derivation dependencies to be maintained automatically.
Relation bodies can be programmed to implement
alternative storage and computation strategies without
affecting users of relation specifications. Triggers
can react to changes in relations, automatically
propagating data, invoking tools, and performing other
change management tasks. Predicates and the
transaction-like statements support change management
in the face of evolving standards of consistency.
Together, these features mitigate many of the problems
that complicate change management in software processes

The interfaces include Object Management System (OMS)

Entity-Relationship model. This paper describes a query
service constructed on the PCTE interfaces. Following a
brief summary of the OMS features that are necessary to
understand the paper, we describe the requirements and
design objectives for a query service in an integrated
SEE, the basic model for our solution, and then review
the facilities of the service. The paper also contains
a comparison with other work on queries on E-R and
object-oriented databases. The paper's conclusions
indicate the differences that exist between
requirements and characteristics for query services on
SEE data repositories and those for other databases. It
shows, for example, how assumptions about data

query services are not appropriate for SEE data

abstract = "An analysis of several of the Ada software projects
recently completed at the E-Systems ECI Division
reveals that although the software is very target
specific, a large portion of this software could be
developed independent of the target hardware. Only a
very small portion of this software could not be
developed in some way without the physical target
hardware. However, it seems that the projects that
experienced the most difficulty in completing the
software task had a large portion of the software that
was target test dependent. To visualize this software
development difficulty, the target test dependent
portion of software can be thought of as the small
portion of an iceberg's mass that is visible above the
water line as illustrated in figure 1 --- the greater
the mass above the water line, the greater the overall
mass of the iceberg, the longer the melt down, and the
greater the threat to navigation. Therefore, to reduce
the overall navigation threat to project completion,
this target test dependent software should be limited
in a manner that allows the bulk of the iceberg to be
verified and fine tuned independent of the target
hardware. This paper discusses software development
tactics used to reduce the overall risk in developing
software for a project in which hardware and software
were developed in parallel and access to the target
hardware was limited or unavailable until after the
majority of the software was developed. These tactics
are useful in partitioning the software into a
manageable form, can help prevent the creation of
duplicate software development, and can allow Computer
Software Component (CSC) integration and test of the
majority of the software in the host environment before
the target hardware becomes available.",

development is that it offers the analyst, designer and
programmer a higher level of abstraction in which to
work. AD/Cycle uses object orientation in two contexts:
(1) it encourages an object-oriented approach to
software production based on AD/Cycle, and (2) it
presents itself as an object-oriented database
development platform. The former is a methodological
issue, the latter --- an environmental issue. The
methodological issue is only sketched in AD/Cycle
documents, and as such is addressed only briefly in
this paper. The main thread of the paper is on the
evaluation of the environmental aspect of AD/Cycle.
This implies that the paper concentrates on the
Repository Manager of AD/Cycle. In particular, the
paper examines the conceptual specification view and
also the logical specification view combined with
run-time services. The conclusions of this paper are
only as sound as the object orientation paradigm
itself. The paper places special emphasis on this
issue. It is believed that object orientation solves
the application a nd data management problems faced by
CASE developers and users, but hard proof has yet to be
provided. The same applies to the claims of
productivity improvements in most but particularly
susceptible application development activities (such as
window management).",

abstract = "Functional testing is used to find disagreement
between the specifications and the actual
implementation of the software systems. The method of
representing the specification can help to detect
inconsistency and incompleteness in it. The various
specification representation schemes are outlined in
the paper. The basic technique of functional testing of
software systems is the black box technique. This
technique generates the test data using the information
contained in the program's specification, independent
of the implemented program's code. Black box testing
cannot discover errors contained in the functions which
are not mentioned explicitly in the specification.
Therefore, a program dependent testing is necessary to
discover this type of errors. The paper surveys the
different methods of generating test data for both
techniques; the black box and the program dependent
techniques.",

ISTO Software Technology Community Meeting, June 27-29,
1990, by Barry Boehm, director of DARPA/ISTO, is
component-based software engineering and life-cycle

megaprogramming in perspective with research in other
areas of software engineering (i.e., formal methods and
rapid prototyping) and to describe the author's
experience developing a system to support
megaprogramming. The paper, first, analyzes
megaprogramming and its relationship to other DARPA
research initiatives (CPS/CPL --- Common Prototyping
System/Common Prototyping Language, DSSA --- Domain
Specific Software Architectures, and SWU --- Software
Understanding). Next, the desirable attributes of
megaprogramming software components are identified and
a software development model (The 3C Model) and
resulting prototype megaprogramming system (LILEANNA

bugs, however, source line numbers are also changed. It
is therefore necessary to update the source line
numbers in a tracing control instruction file according
to the modifications in the source program. This paper
proposes a solution by means of an automatic resumption
mechanism that simplifies the debugging procedure from
source modification to the beginning of the next
debugging. While a programmer is creating an executable
program using make after he has modified the program,
the tracing control instruction file is updated
automatically, so the programmer does not even have to
think of updating them. This mechanism makes it very
easy to resume debugging with the same debugging
environment after program modification.",

model, icons, and diagrams of SCOOP-3, a pictorial
method for developing reactive systems. SCOOP-3's
semantics are Concurrent C++ or Ada: its icons and
diagrams are mechanically translatable to these
languages. SCOOP-3's process guide supports reuse,
prototyping, and concurrent specification and design.
Its behavior model (S-R Machines) integrates the
notions of finite and infinite automata, data
abstractions, and objects. My earlier notes in SEN
demonstrated the Finite State Automata power of S-R
Machines. This note demonstrates their far greater
power and expressiveness. SCOOP-3's black box, machine,
and clear box diagrams have the same objective (and
names!) as Mills' Box-Structured approach: stepwise
provable specifications and designs.",

to reduce associated maintenance costs. To simplify
restructuring, we have developed a tool that preserves
the meaning of a program as the engineer applies
structural transformations. To help evaluate the
prototype tool and its underlying approach, we ran an
experiment to compare how people using standard editing
tools restructure a program against the computer-aided
style that our tool supports. We drew three conclusions
from the experiment. First, the subjects generally used
a mix of copy/paste and cut/paste editing paradigms;
our tool gives the engineer the safety of copy/paste
and the speed of cut/paste. Second, most of the
subjects made mistakes, including simple syntactic
errors and semantic errors (such as not updating the
call site after modifying a function definition); our
tool avoids errors by the engineer using compensation
(for instance, it automatically updates call sites when
a procedure definition is changed) or by signalling an
error. Third, manual restructuring tends to be
haphazard, with engineers handling the order of
changes, testing, etc. in inconsistent and potentially
error-prone ways; by separating restructuring from
functional maintenance and by ensuring preservation of
meaning during restructuring, our approach can make the
maintenance process more orderly.",

to employ conventional software or AI/ES techniques.
The criticality of the computerized systems has been

have become a potential challenge. The current

components: elements, form, and rationale. Elements are
either processing, data, or connecting elements. Form
is defined in terms of the properties of, and the
relationships among, the elements --- that is, the
constraints on the elements. The rationale provides the
underlying basis for the architecture in terms of the
system constraints, which most often derive from the
system requirements. We discuss the components of the
model in the context of both architectures and
architectural styles and present an extended example to
illustrate some important architecture and style
considerations. We conclude by presenting some of the
benefits of our approach to software architecture,
summarizing our contributions, and relating our

In traditional database systems, the problem is avoided
by enforcing serializability among concurrent

problem has been addressed by introducing version and
configuration management techniques combined with
checkout/checkin mechanisms. Unfortunately, both of
these solutions are too restrictive for SDEs because
they enforce serialization of access to data, making

example, one graphical representation of a program,

text-based list of block names indented to summarize
the program's structure. UQ1, a language-based editor
developed at the University of Queensland, implements
the concept in this manner. Both types of menu

process is the consistency between various parts of the
software system being designed and implemented. During
the development of a system we are aware of the
consistency problems and we usually solve these by
special arrangements developed as part of the
development of the software system. In general the
solutions applied for some specific system cannot be
reused for other systems. The purpose of this paper is
to introduce a general understanding of consistency and
the techniques and tools for handling consistency. We
introduce a concept called description to denote the
various pieces of information which must be consistent.
The description covers any fragments software and data,
e.g. such as source code, parse trees, and machine
code. The interpretation of a description is defined as
a mapping into the set of objects, that the description
is supposed to describe. Consistency of descriptions is
defined as relations between the interpretations of the
descriptions. The concepts description, interpretation
and relation are used as a framework for modeling
consistency in software systems. A consistency model
includes interfaces, control parts and representations
for descriptions in a system, and a specification of
the consistency relations, that are relevant for the
system. The model provides consistency as a new and
very important perspective on software systems. It
provides a graphical notation, which gives an overview
of the consistency relations in a software system being
designed. The model is very general and it does
therefore apply to any type of software systems. This
restricts the level of detail in the model of
consistency, but the model allows enhancement of the
specification once the type of software system is
given. We define four basic techniques for handling
consistency in software systems modeled in terms of
descriptions. By combining these techniques we are able
to describe the handling of consistency in a given
software system. These techniques and the graphical
consistency modeling language form a first step towards
an engineered approach to the construction of software
systems from a consistency view.",

environments can be derived from general-purpose
programming environments by a process of structured
transformation. We describe a tool for performing these
transformations. It provides a set of formal operators
for specializing a description of a general-purpose
environment; as operators are applied, the system
semi-automatically builds a set of transformation rules
used to translate application-specific programs into
those of the original general-purpose environment. The
output of the tool is an application-specific
environment together with a program transformer that
provides execution semantics for programs written in

parallel development activities are limited. These
approaches can be characterised as state-based: only
the initial and final states are considered. This paper
introduces operation-based merging, which uses the
operations that were performed during development. In
many cases operation-based merging has advantages over
state-based merging, because it automatically respects
the data-type invariants of the objects, is extensible
for arbitrary object types, provides better conflict
detection and allows for better support for solving
these conflicts. Several algorithms for conflict
detection are described and compared.",

artifacts to form more abstract system representations.
This paper describes a reverse engineering environment
which uses the spatial and visual information inherent
in graphical representations of software systems to
form the basis of a software interconnection model.
This information is displayed and manipulated by the
reverse engineer using an interactive graph editor to
build subsystem structures out of software building
blocks. The spatial component constitutes information
about how a software structure looks. The coexistence
of these two representations is critical to the
comprehensive appreciation of the generated data, and
greatly benefits subsequent analysis, processing, and

a single machine or distributed across multiple
machines, is composed of tasks that interact
(communicate and sychronize) in order to achieve some
goal. Developing such concurrent programs so they
cooperate effectively is a complex task, requiring that
progrmmers craft their modules--the components from
which concurrent applications are built --- to meet
both functional requirements and communication
requirements. Unfortunately the result of this effort
is a module that is difficult to reason about and even
more difficult to reuse. Making programmers treat too
many diverse issues simultaneously leads to increased
development costs and opportunities for error. This
suggests the need for ways that a developer may specify
control requirements separately from the implementation
of functional requirements, but then have this
information used automatically when building the
component executables. The result is an environment
where programmers have increased flexibility in
composing software modules into concurrent
applications, and in reusing those same modules. This
paper describes our research toward a technology for
control integration, where we have developed techniques
for users to express control objectives for an
application and a system that translates those
specifications for use in packaging executables.",

Engineering;2. Learning to master evolving systems;3.
Building a scientific basis for Software Engineering;4.
Emphasizing science and engineering know-how when
educating practitioners. Formal methods, domain
specific knowledge, special purpose languages, and
reuse were seen as important approaches, but not as
solutions or ends in themselves. There was also a fair
amount of introspection on proper method, evaluation,

helps to be aware of them. Actually, our approach and
the tool supporting it use a combination of various

and a grain of artificial intelligence (in particular
frames). Therefore, inheritance is provided by our tool
already in the early phase of requirements engineering.
In particular, we found it very useful to view
requirements as objects. A key idea is to support the
ordering of ideas especially through classification
already in the early stages. While our approach is not
intended to substitute useful existing techniques
emphasizing more formal representations, it can be

the responsibility-driven method and a data-driven

the data was analyzed to identify differences. The
model developed with the responsibility-driven method
was found to be much less complex, and specifically to

Basically, the methodology involves; how to combine

estimation and, how to apply the methodology through

estimation techniques, SD (Structured

enough to write without having to also write program

rarely informed what it is that makes a procedure good
for doing so --- but that is just the sort of problem
that computer science should be able to solve! In my
view, the lack of correctness checks in programs is an

of a high-level timed Petri net formalism (TB nets) can
be analyzed to check the temporal properties of bounded
invariance (the systems stays in a given state until
time $ \tau $) and bounded response (the system will
enter a given state within time $ \tau $). In
particular, we concentrate on specifications given in a
hierarchical, top-down manner, where one specification
level refines a more abstract level. Our goal is to
define the conditions under which the properties that
are proven to hold at a given abstraction level are
preserved at the next refined level. To do so, we
define the concept of correct refinement, and we show
that bounded invariance and bounded response are
preserved by a correct refinement. We also provide a
set of constructive rules that may be applied to refine
a net in such a way that the resulting net is a correct
refinement.",

``deterministic'' because the sequence of test case

testing'' because each test case certifies a unique
software state. There are four main advantages of
Deterministic Markov State Testing for system testers:
provision of precise software state information for
root cause analysis in load test, accommodation for
limitations of the system test lab configuration,
higher acceleration ratios in system test, and simple
management of distributed execution of test cases.
System testers using the proposed method have great
flexibility in dealing with common system test
problems: limited access to the system test
environment, unstable software, or changing operational
conditions. Because each test case verifies correct
execution on a path from the idle state to the software
state under test, our method does not require the
continuous execution of all test cases. Deterministic
Markov State Testing is operational-profile-based, and
allows for measurement of software reliability
robustness when the operational profile changes.",

measured only by statistical parameters like hazard
rate and mean time to failure, measures whose

reliability assessment by random testing of software is
impractical. The levels we would like to achieve, on

limitations of reliability testing can be overcome but
the ``ultrareliable'' region above 10$^8$ failure-free
executions is likely to remain forever untestable. We
propose a new way of looking at the software
reliability program. Defect-based efforts should
amplify the significance of reliability testing. That
is, developers should demonstrate that the actual
reliability is better than the measurement. We give an

constraints on their behavior is difficult, but may be

concurrent system. In an earlier paper with L. K.
Dillon and J. E. Wileden, we described a technique for
finding bounds on the time between events without
enumerating the state space, but the technique applies
chiefly to the case of logically concurrent systems
executing on a uniprocessor, in which events do not
overlap in time. In this paper, we extend that
technique to obtain upper bounds on the time between
events in maximally parallel concurrent systems. Our
method does not require construction of the state space
and the results of preliminary experiments show that,
for at least some systems with large state spaces, it
is quite tractable. We also briefly describe the
application of our method to the case in which there
are multiple processors, but several processes run on

cost-effective technique to enforce the
error-propagation condition for detecting a fault. The
intuition behind dynamic impact analysis is as follows.
In a specific test-case, if an execution of a syntactic
component has a strong impact on the program output and
if the output is correct, then the value of that
component-execution is not likely to be erroneous. To
capture this intuition in a theoretical framework the
notion of impact is formally defined and the concept of
impact strength is proposed as a quantitative measure
of the impact. In order to provide an infrastructure
supporting the computation of impact strengths, program
impact graphs and execution impact graphs are
introduced. An empirical study validating the
computation of impact strengths is presented. It is
shown that the impact strengths computed by dynamic
impact analysis provide reasonable estimates for the
error-sensitivity with respect to the output except
when the impact is via one or more error-tolerant
components of the program. Potential applications of
dynamic impact analysis in the area of mutation testing
and dynamic program slicing are discussed.",

abstract = "RELAY is a model of how a fault causes a failure on
execution of some test datum. This process begins with
introduction of an original state potential failure at
a fault location and continues as the potential
failure(s) transfers to output. Here we describe the
second stage of this process, transfer of an incorrect
intermediate state from a faulty statement to output.
Transfer occurs along information flow chains, where
each link in the chain involves data dependence
transfer and/or control dependence transfer. RELAY
models concurrent transfer along multiple information
flow chains with transfer sets, which identify possible
interaction between potential failures, and with
transfer routes, which identify actual interactions.
Transfer sets, transfer routes, and control dependence
transfer are unique to the RELAY model. The model
demonstrates that the process of potential failure
transfer is extremely complex and full analysis of real
programs may not be practical. Nonetheless, RELAY
provides insight into testing and fault detection and
suggests an approach to fault-based testing and
analysis that may be warranted for critical systems
software.",

abstract = "Software processes are complex entities that may last
for long periods of time and are carried out through
the interaction of humans and computerized tools. They
need to continuously evolve in order to cope with
different kinds of changes or customizations both in
the organization and in the technologies used to
support software production activities. In recent
years, many software process support technologies have
been developed, and have currently been further
extended and used in trial projects. Moreover, some
research prototypes have generated commercial products,
that are marketed and currently used in industrial
organizations. Despite these significant efforts and
results, however, there is still little conceptual
characterization and assessment of the properties of
software processes and related support environments. It
is difficult to compare and assess existing approaches.
Even a common characterization of the problems to be
addressed seems to be problematic and difficult to
achieve. This is particularly true when we consider the
process evolution problem, for which it does not seem
that a common view of the issue has been established
yet. This paper aims at proposing a conceptual
framework to describe and assess flexible and evolving
software processes. It is based on the assumption that
a software process is composed of two main components:
a software production process to carry out software
production activities, and a software meta-process to
improve and evolve the whole software process. The
general requirements and properties of the process
domain are first discussed, and the meta-process
concept is introduced. Then, we discuss several process
related concepts and, in particular, the relationship
between the meta-process and the rest of the software
process. Methods and technologies needed to support the
meta-process are highlighted and discussed. Finally, we
apply the resulting framework to an example, in order
to show the potential and expected benefits of the
proposed approach.",

models, deducing their observable consequences, and
testing them by experiment. Successful theoretical
models are later taken as the basis for engineering
methods and codes of practice for design of reliable
and useful products. Models can play a similar central
role in the progress and practical application of
Computing Science.A model of a computational paradigm
starts with choice of a carrier set of potential direct
or indirect observations that can be made of a
computational process. A particular process is modelled
as the subset of observations to which it can give
rise. Process composition is modelled by relating
observations of a composite process to those of its
components. Indirect observations play an essential
role in such compositions. Algebraic properties of the
composition operators are derived with the aid of the
simple theory of sets and relations. Feasibility is
checked by a mapping from a more operational model.A
model constructed as a family of sets is easily adapted
as a calculus of design for total correctness. A
specification is given by an arbitrary set containing
all observations permitted in the required product. It
should be expressed as clearly as possible with the aid
of the full power of mathematics and logic. A product
meets a specification if its potential observations
form a subset of its permitted observations. This
principle requires that all envisaged failure modes of
a product are modelled as indirect observations, so
that their avoidance can be proved. Specifications of
components can be composed mathematically by the same
operators as the components themselves. This permits
top-down proof of correctness of designs even before
their implementation begins. Algebraic properties and
reasoning are helpful throughout development.

representation --- a Program Dependence Graph (PDG)
with alias information --- that is not practical to
recompute from scratch after each restructuring
transformation. There are at least two possible
solutions. A commonly suggested approach for
efficiently updating data flow representations is to
use a generic incremental algorithm that does not make
use of the special nature of the restructuring. This
approach is general, but it does not yet handle
aliasing fully. By taking advantage of the special
nature of the restructuring transformations it is
possible to implement a more efficient update than
generic update that also handles aliasing. The idea is
to implement direct updates to the PDG that are
analogous to the changes on the program text. The
downsides to direct update are that it is
application-specific, applies only to semantically
restricted applications like restructuring, and may be
more complex. The choice between the two techniques
requires an understanding of the current and future
needs of the tool's users. This paper describes the
direct approach of updating the PDG and related
representations for restructuring, provides techniques
for managing its complexity, critiques its advantages
and shortcomings relative to generic incremental
update, and presents performance results.",

Even worse, they cost much more in terms of products

First, at the least, the number of participants
required at each inspection meeting should be
minimized. Second, we propose two alternative fault

inspection meetings altogether: (a) collect faults by
deposition (small face-to-face meetings of two or three

traditional reachability analysis in order to introduce
modularity and to control the state explosion problem.
While modularity has been achieved, state explosion is
still a problem. Indeed, this problem may even be
exacerbated as a locally minimised subsystem may
contain many states and transitions forbidden by its
context or environments. This paper presents a method
to alleviate this problem effectively by including
context constraints in local subsystem minimisation.
The global behaviour generated using the method is
observationally equivalent to that generated by
compositional reachability analysis without the
inclusion of context constraints. Context constraints,
specified as interface processes, are restrictions
imposed by the environment on subsystem behaviour. The
minimisation produces a simplified machine that
describes the behaviour of the subsystem constrained by
its context. This machine can also be used as a
substitute for the original subsystem in the subsequent
steps of the compositional reachability analysis.
Interface processes capturing context constraints can
be specified by users or automatically constructd using
a simple algorithm. The concepts in the paper are
illustrated with a clients/server system.",

existing measurement processes, these provide learning
points for the expression of measurement principles.
These principles are classified and described according
to their position within the formulation, analysis and
application stages of measurement. Conclusions are
elaborated that suggest that existing measurement
frameworks for applying measurement --- often called
measurement methods --- do not provide sufficient
support for the principles and their continued use will
only serve to replicate the problems. In order to
improve the products i.e. metrics, the measurement
process requires improvement through inclusion of these

propose guidelines regarding documentation embedded in

that these guidelines will help us to maintain
conformity in software documentation in programs
developed at SDSU in Software Engineering and

that are based on the proposed embedded documentation

abstract = "Traditional compiler front end generating tools such
as Lex/Yacc assume a front end consisting of two boxes:
a lexical box and a syntax box. Lex produces a lexical
analyzer using regular expressions as a token
description. Yacc generates a syntax analyzer from the
LALR grammar for the parsed language. This approach has
big problems with such lexically and syntactically
complex languages as Fortran. The main reason for these
problems is that regular expressions, being equivalent
to a right linear grammar, do not have the capability
to describe the incredibly complex lexical structure of
Fortran. As a result, compiler writers abandon Lex and
produce handwritten lexers for Fortran, thus defeating
the main purpose of the parser generator, automation.
This work solves these problems by introducing a
multibox parser, where each lower box modifies its
input language to produce a more ``straightened''
output language for the higher box. The number of boxes
reflects the complexity of the parsed language. For
example, Fortran requires more boxes than does C. Each
box is represented by an L-attributed translation
grammar in simple assignment form with an LL(1) input
grammar. LL(1) grammars were chosen for higher speed,
smaller size, and because, unlike regular expressions,
they can express constructs such as nested parentheses,
a capability which is required for parsing Fortran on
the lexical level. New operations for the LL(1) machine
are added to ensure it is strictly forward moving,
without backtracking in the parsed source code. We have
extended the LL(1) grammars to ``indexed LL(1)
grammars.''This enhancement allows more of the
resulting code to be automatically generated, rather
than handwritten. New parser generating tools have been
developed by us to support this technology. The
multibox approach has been implemented in the Lahey
Fortran 90 compiler.",

evaluation process for reengineering tools. To address
this issue, a Qu{\'e}bec-based special interest group
in software engineering reused a case study workshop
format that had been previously implemented to compare
CASE products. This case study format had to be
substantially modified to allow both vendors and
participants to properly position the reengineering
tools. For example, the workshop committee had to
prepare reengineering frameworks, including a taxonomy
of tools as well as legacy system selection criteria
for the case study. This article also reports on the
challenges met during the project as well as lessons
learned: within a context of an immature reengineering
market, the time has not yet come for a full real-life
case study at an acceptable economic cost.",

Diagrams (DFD). DFD have been used for more than ten
years, and they are still popular. The main drawback of
DFD is the lack of mathematical foundation. The great
demand for bigger and more sophisticated computer
systems makes necessary the formulation of a formal
theory for DFD. This theory will provide a way of
checking consistency and completeness. Universal
Algebra has become a useful and important tool in
theoretical computer science. Universal Algebra is used
in this paper to represent DFD, to generate DFD, to
prove consistency and completeness and to define
complete DFD. A process decomposition is defined in
strict mathematical way; the famous Birkoff's Variety
Theorem is used to prove consistency in the process
decomposition; a definition of minimal DFD is given; a
relation between Universal Algebra concepts and DFD is
defined; and a definition of complete (well-defined)
DFD is given. The DFD are defined using basic concepts
of Universal Algebra theory. The results from this
paper can be incorporated in any of the CASE tools used

Existing software science provides a general measure of

program control flow complexity except for the
linearization issue. In this paper, weights are
assigned to the operators and operands which are part

software construction process. Object Oriented
analysis, design and software construction should yield
software of a high quality: software that is reliable,
maintainable, extensible, adaptable. However,
delivering large OO software systems in a qualitative
way is a significant challenge. Scaling up requires
formal precision of the semantics of the modelling
techniques and languages used by the development team.
And when the target system contains an abundance of
parallelism, the problem of validation becomes
unfeasible if it is not supported by formal techniques.
With the incorporation of formal techniques in the
development process, we can expect significant benefits
in terms of software quality. For this reason, one
might expect a high level of formality in current OOAD
methods [9]. Unfortunately, most current OOAD methods
are characterised by a low level of formality. The
M.E.R.O.DE. methodology addresses this void. By making
use of algebra, the methodology has been provided with
a formal basis at several levels with a significant
improvement of the quality of the software development
process as a result. Before presenting M.E.R.O.DE. to
the reader in the second section, the first section
motivates the development of still another OOA method.
The final section demonstrates how exactly the formal
definition of M.E.R.O.DE. results in a gain of quality
at the software specification level.",

abstract = "As part of the ARPA DSSA program, we are developing a
methodology and integrating a suite of supporting tools
to help specify, design, validate, package and deploy
distributed intelligent control and management (DICAM)
applications. Our domain of specialization is vehicle
management systems, and our near-term focus is on
advanced artillery systems. To attain higher levels of
performance and functionality while reducing the time
and cost required for development, we are recommending
a generic control architecture suitable for use as a
single intelligent agent or as multiple cooperating
agents. This reference architecture combines a
task-oriented domain controller with a meta-controller
that schedules activities within the domain controller.
The domain controller provides functions for
model-based situation assessment and planning, and
inter-controller communication. Typically, these
functions are performed by components taken from a
repository of reusable software. In tasks that are
simple, deterministic or time-stressed, the modules may
be complied into or replaced by conventional control
algorithms. In complex, distributed, cooperative,
non-deterministic or unstressed situations, these
modules will usually exploit knowledge-based reasoning
and deliberative control. To improve the controller
development process, we are combining many of the best
ideas from software engineering and knowledge
engineering in a software environment. This environment
includes a blackboard-like development workspace to
represent both the software under development and the
software development process itself. In this workspace,
controllers are realized by mapping requirements into
specializations of the reference architecture. The
workspace also provides mechanisms for triggering
applications of software tools, including
knowledge-based software design assistants. We are
currently in the third year of a five-year program. In
conjunction with our collaborators at ARDEC, we have
produced a schema for describing architectures which is
being used by ARDEC's community of contractors, by an
ARPA architecture specification project for the Joint
Task Force ATD, and by the Stanford Knowledge Systems
Laboratory. We have released the second major version
of our development environment, which is being used at
ARDEC and in support of this ARPA architecture
specification program. This version of the development
environment is focused on initial requirements,
architecture, and design. It provides both CASE-like
editing of architectures and textual browsing/editing
of repository descriptions expressed in the schema
mentioned above. In the remaining years of the program
we will be expanding the suite of tools and improving
the methodologies required to build intelligent,
distributed, hybrid controllers capable of spanning
multiple levels of organization and system hierarchy.
This technology holds considerable promise for
near-term value, and the associated methodology
provides a candidate approach for realizing the goals
of mega-programming practice in control software. In
assessing this prospect, we discuss some of the
remaining shortfalls in both methodology and tools that
require additional research and development.",

things: (1) Insert fewer bugs, (2) Find them earlier,
and (3) Find more of them. Modern test and evaluation
methods are very effective at all three. What is even
more effective is to integrate these methods into a
modern T\&E process and to integrate this process with
acquisition and development methods into a software
engineering program. Integration multiplies the impact
of effective methods and is a major theme in modern
approaches. On most projects, developers are
responsible for testing as well as designing, and
coding the software components. For a new component or
change to an existing component, one person usually
carries out all software engineering tasks. This note
describes an activity sequence that is very effective
at both avoiding and detecting defects when a single
individual does all the software engineering. The order
as well as the specific tasks in this sequence is
important in maximizing effectiveness. Understanding
the principals behind this process will make it easy to

Various problems regarding verification of FIFO

consider, in this paper, other possible unreliable
behaviors of communication channels, viz. (a)
duplication and (b) insertion errors. Furthermore, we
also consider various combinations of duplication,
insertion and lossiness errors. Finite state machines
that communicate over unbounded FIFO buffers is a model
of computation that forms the backbone of ISO standard
protocol specification languages Estelle and SDL. While
an assumption of a perfect communication medium is
reasonable at the higher levels of the OSI protocol
stack, the lower levels have to deal with an unreliable
communication medium; hence our motivation for the
present work. The verification problems that are of
interest are reachability, unboundedness, deadlock, and
model-checking against CTL. All of these problems are
undecidable for machines communicating over reliable
unbounded FIFO channels. So, it is perhaps surprising
that some of these problems become decidable when
unreliable channels are modeled. The contributions of
this paper are: (a) An investigation of solutions to
these problems for machines with insertion errors,
duplication errors, or a combination of duplication,
insertion and lossiness errors, and (b) A comparison of
the relative expressive power of the various errors.",

concurrent programs will undoubtedly require
compositional techniques. Existing compositional
techniques are based on the idea of replacing complex
subsystems with simpler processes with the same
interfaces to their environments, and using the simpler
processes to analyze the full system. Most algorithms
for proving equivalence between two processes, however,
require enumerating the states of both processes. When
part of a concurrent system consists of many highly
coupled processes, it may not be possible to decompose
the system into components that are both small enough
to enumerate and have simple interfaces with their
environments. In such cases, analysis of the systems by
standard methods will be infeasible. In this paper, we
describe a technique for proving trace equivalence of
deterministic and divergence-free systems without
enumerating their states. (For deterministic systems,
essentially all the standard notions of process
equivalence collapse to trace equivalence, so this
technique also establishes failures equivalence,
observational equivalence, etc.) Our approach is to
generate necessary conditions for the existence of a
trace of one system that is not a trace of the other;
if the necessary conditions cannot be satisfied the
systems are equivalent. We have implemented the
technique and used it to establish the equivalence of
some systems with state spaces too large for

encapsulation simplifies modification by isolating
changes to the implementation and behavior of an
abstract data type. To perform encapsulation, a
programmer must understand how the data structure is
used in the code, identify abstract operations
performed on the data structure, and choose concrete
expressions to be made into functions. We provide a
manipulable program visualization, called the star
diagram, that both highlights information pertinent to
encapsulation and supports the application of
meaning-preserving restructuring transformations on the
program through a direct-manipulation user interface.
The visualization graphically and compactly presents
all statements in the program that use the given global
data structure, helping the programmer to choose the
functions that completely encapsulate it. Additionally,
the visualization elides code unrelated to the data
structure and to the task, and collapses similar
expressions to allow the programmer to identify
frequently occurring code fragments and manipulate them
together. The visualization is mapped directly to the
program text, so manipulation of the visualization also
restructures the program. We describe the design,

to measure the dependability of tested software. In
support of this goal, a plausible theory of
dependability is needed to suggest and prove results

crucial step in the testing process. Unfortunately, it
can be a very arduous and error-prone step, especially
when testing a concurrent system. System developers can
therefore benefit from oracles automating the
verification of test executions. This paper examines
the use of Graphical Interval Logic (GIL) for
specifying temporal properties of concurrent systems
and describes a method for constructing oracles from
GIL specifications. The visually intuitive
representation of GIL specifications makes them easier
to develop and to understand than specifications
written in more traditional temporal logics.
Additionally, when a test execution violates a GIL
specification, the associated oracle provides
information about a fault. This information can be
displayed visually, together with the execution, to
help the system developer see where in the execution a
fault was detected and the nature of the fault.",

abstract = "The basic unit of testing in an object-oriented
program is a class. Although there has been much recent
research on testing of classes, most of this work has
focused on black-box approaches. However, since
black-box testing techniques may not provide sufficient
code coverage, they should be augmented with code-based
or white-box techniques. Dataflow testing is a
code-based testing technique that uses the dataflow
relations in a program to guide the selection of tests.
Existing dataflow testing techniques can be applied
both to individual methods in a class and to methods in
a class that interact through messages, but these
techniques do not consider the dataflow interactions
that arise when users of a class invoke sequences of
methods in an arbitrary order. We present a new
approach to class testing that supports dataflow
testing for dataflow interactions in a class. For
individual methods in a class, and methods that send
messages to other methods in a the class, our technique
is similar to existing dataflow testing techniques. For
methods that are accessible outside the class, and can
be called in any order by users of the class, we
compute dataflow information, and use it to test
possible interactions between these methods. The main
benefit of our approach is that it facilitates dataflow
testing for an entire class. By supporting dataflow
testing of classes, we provide opportunities to find
errors in classes that may not be uncovered by
black-box testing. Our technique is also useful for
determining which sequences of methods should be
executed to test a class, even in the absence of a
specification. Finally, as with other code-based
testing techniques, a large portion of our technique
can be automated.",

Conventional RE methods usually support only parts of

prime motivation for the REFSQ'94 workshop held in
conjunction with the CAiSE '94 Conference on Advanced
Information Systems Engineering in Utrecht, The
Netherlands on June 6th and 7th 1994. In order to find
solutions which handle the described deficiencies, it
was the goal of the workshop to improve the
understanding of the relations between both areas of
research in software engineering and not to give new
definitions of either requirements engineering or
software quality. On the Call for Papers addressing the
above problems we received 24 submissions. After the
reviewing process, we accepted 14 papers which have

abstract = "I believe that to truly understand software
development, we must not only understand the flow of an
entire project and how to write each line of code, we
must also understand how one line of code relates to
the whole project. It seems to me that we have studied
each aspect of software development in isolation, not
how all aspects fit together. The Waterfall model,
defined by Royce, and the Spiral model, defined by
Boehm, discuss management-level issues, such as phases
and deadlines, rather than how to write one line of
code or fix one bug. Programming methodologies show us
how to solve technical problems, rather than how to
solve users' problems or to meet deadlines. In this
paper, I use the principles of chaos (or fractals) as a
metaphor to bridge the gap in our understanding of the
relationship between one line of code and the entire
project. Throughout this paper, I describe software
development from the developer's point of view. If we
want to understand software development, we must
describe what developers do. After all, developers do
the work. We know that large programs consist of many
lines of code and that large projects consist of the
daily efforts made by individual developers. We know
that the large scale and the small scale somehow relate
to each other. Yet most models of software development
seem to focus on one extreme or another, ignoring the
role of developers. In the first section, I define the
Chaos model which combines a simple, people-oriented,
problem-solving loop with fractals to describe the
structures within a project. I believe that software
development is a human activity: people write the
software, use the solutions, and experience the
problems. I believe that creating software is very
complex; we cannot simplify software development by
imposing simple models on it. The Chaos model uses
fractals to describe a cohesive structure which
encompasses many of the issues actually encountered
during software development. This structure helps to
explain the influences within a project and the roles
that developers play. In the second section, I
interpret the Chaos model to reveal the meaning behind
the structure. I show that users, developers, and
technologies form a continuum throughout software
development. They all interact in a complex dance. This
interpretation improves our understanding of the
contribution and limitations of users, developers, and
technologies. In the third section, I define the Chaos
life cycle to describe how a project evolves over time.
Life cycles are essentially the top-level perspectives
of software development. In light of the Chaos model, I
define the phases of the life cycle in terms of
fractals and show that all phases occur throughout the
life cycle. These chaotic definitions suggest that I
can interpret the complete life cycle in terms of each
phase, and conversely, I can interpret each phase in
terms of a complete life cycle. The phases of the life
cycle show our perspectives on the state of a project,
rather than what the state of a project really is.
Thus, developers need many skills to be able to
understand and respond to situations that arise
throughout a software development project.",

abstract = "The growing complexity of information systems and the
ensuring problems of their development, maintenance and
management have highlighted the inadequacy of formal
and informal methods for constructing such systems.
These problems manifest themselves in the computer
systems which are often unmanageable, unreliable,
inflexible and hence difficult to maintain. Users have
often demanded for reliable computer systems because
they realize that most failures are due to poor
specification, and design. This has resulted in the
emergence of a number of information systems
methodologies together with associated computerized
development environments in which the Object-Oriented
(OO) approach is one of the most recent.OO is often
used for promoting software development and its reuse.
Languages like Smalltalk reduce not only development
time but also the cost of maintenance, simplifying the
creation of new systems and the reuse of old ones.
Nevertheless OO is not a panacea i.e. efforts are to
put in for its proper use. Thus we consider OO as a
paradigm which provides a new image, a new way of
conceptualizing the development life cycle. By the help
of paradigms, software developers and users are
supported in apprehending the development life cycle
and means to organize the aspects of the life cycle
into a comprehensive method.PATHOS (A Paradigmatic
Approach To High-level Object-Oriented Software
development) aims to demonstrate an approach to
information system development that will lead not only
to good information system creation, but also to
explicitly represent the maintenance of the business
knowledge so as to allow for its more effective and
active exploitation at run time.",

the specification level of software development to
touch the process of high-level specification

language to support multiple semantic dimensions and
based on which build a unified functional model of
software system in a specific domain. On the bases of
these, we apply transformation and refinement methods
to the model and transit it from the specification
level to the implementation level. We expect such a
process can change the current software producing
procedure in nature. We also put this methodology into
the application of the software development in

to be encouraging.",

a methodology prevents them from producing incorrect
system specification. In fact, banking systems,
telephone exchanges and other information and control
systems may fail in any moment because of hidden
errors. This article explains that the most widespread
methodologies nowadays aid rising of dangerous
synchronization errors in the specification. What's the
matter? The methodologies isolate interacting
concurrent processes one from other. In order to
analyze concurrent behavior, we need to consider
interactions as a whole. We must not split interactions
into separate processes. Systems analysis aims to
specify information systems. There are several
approaches to the systems analysis. The two main
streams today are structured and object oriented
analysis. Unfortunately, both of them hide the danger
of incorrect synchronization without giving the analyst
any chance to control it. Perhaps, the most delusive
case of incorrect synchronization are time ---
dependent errors. Concurrent system is the system of
concurrent (sequential) processes that may interact
(communicate or synchronize each other).",

oriented (OO) languages is receiving increasing
attention. We examine the reasons why this is a much
more challenging problem than for conventional
languages. It seems premature to develop and apply OO
metrics while there remains uncertainty not only about
the precise definitions of many fundamental quantities
and their subsequent impact on derived metrics, but
also a lack of qualitative understanding of the
structure and behaviour of OO systems. We argue that
establishing a standard terminology and data model will
help provide a framework for both theoretical and
empirical work and increase the chances of early
success. One potential benefit is improvement of the
ability to perform independent validation of models and
metrics. We propose a data model and terminology and
illustrate the importance of such definitions by
examining the seemingly straightforward concept of the
number of methods per class. We discuss the
implications of ambiguities in definitions for a suite
of metrics which has recently been proposed.
Preliminary results from our analysis of industrial
systems are presented.",

software development. We have all heard that developers
need to be more productive and to work harder. But what
does this mean exactly? The Complexity Gap defines a
structure in which to explore concepts of process and
productivity and to show how these concepts relate to
conventional software development issues of tools and
training. Software development is complex. This paper
expands on the principles of the Chaos model that
suggest that the top-level user requirements and
bottom-level hacking are connected through many
intermediate levels, and that every level of software
development affects quality and productivity to the
same degree. In The Chaos Model and the Chaos Life
Cycle, I make these points. To clarify the
possibilities and limitations of software development,
I compare software development to assembly-line work.
In the software engineering community, we compare
software development to assembly lines for a variety of
reasons. Some managers want to acquire the same sense
of control over software development as factory
managers have over assembly lines. Other managers want
to apply assembly-line techniques, such as Statistical
Quality Control, to software development. I use both
the definition of the Complexity Gap and the
assembly-line analogy to suggest ways to improve the
software development process.",

abstract = "As systems become more complex, the high-level
organization of the overall system --- the software
architecture --- becomes a critical aspect of design.
Architectural concerns include organization of a system
as a composition of components; global control
structures; protocols for communication,
synchronization, and data access; assignment of
functionality to design elements; physical
distribution; scaling and performance; dimensions of
evolution; and selection among design alternatives.
Recently, software architecture has begun to emerge as
an important field of study for software engineering
practitioners and researchers. Architectural issues are
being addressed by work in areas such as module
interface languages, domain-specific architectures,
software reuse, codification of organizational patterns
for software, architectural description languages,
formal underpinnings for architectural design, and
architectural design environments. While there has been
considerable recent activity in this area, much of it
has gone on in small groups and many of these efforts
are operating without detailed knowledge of other
on-going work. This workshop brought together
researchers and practitioners interested in software
architecture to discuss the current state of the
practice and art. The primary goal was to establish a
common understanding of the state of the practice, the
kinds of research and development efforts that are in
progress, and the important challenges for this
emerging field. The response to the call for papers for
this workshop provides convincing evidence of the
increasing interest and importance of software
architecture. There were 86 papers submitted, involving
over 140 authors. Of these, 32 were chosen for
inclusion in the workshop. These papers were
distributed to the participants in the form of a
workshop proceedings. The proceedings has recently been
reissued as a Carnegie Mellon Technical report,
``Proceedings of the First International Workshop on
Software Architecture'', CMU-CS-TR-95-151. Copies may
be obtained from CS Documentation, School of Computer
Science, Carnegie Mellon University, 5000 Forbes Ave.,

abstract = "``What line of code should I write next?'' This paper
resulted from my search for an answer that reflects my
experiences in writing real programs, and reflects both
the Chaos model and life cycle. After trying to infer
an answer directly from the Chaos life cycle, in fact
from any life cycle, I ultimately gave up. I concluded
that while life cycles describe what I can do in a
project, life cycles do not describe what I should do
in a project. For that I need another concept, such as
strategy. Strategies are idealized plans of how
software development should work. Strategies help us to
prioritize the things we do. A general strategy defines
an overall approach for solving a problem that must be
adapted to meet local circumstances. A specific
strategy defines immediate goals. A good specific
strategy balances short-term progress with long-term
goals. Applying the concept of strategy to software
development may seem inappropriate, or even absurd, to
software developers who normally worry about concepts
like correctness, specification, and quality.
Developers have been taught to think of software
development as totally predictable, with each step a
perfectly understood element. Strategy implies a
contest which admits that a developer could lose. On
the other hand, developers may be more familiar
applying strategy to investments, marketing, elections,
and war. People do meaningfully use strategy for
complex military and business problems. In The Chaos
Model and the Chaos Life Cycle, I argued that each
software development project is a chaotic, multi-level
sequence of issues that arise and get resolved.
Developers repeatedly select an issue to resolve,
devise an approach, implement a solution, maintain the
resulting program, and so forth. Software development
is a project-to-project, situation-to-situation,
minute-to-minute process, with many levels. Developers
must deal with all levels from the ``whole project''
level down to the ``one line of code'' level. In The
Complexity Gap, I argued that the middle levels of a
project are not addressed by the traditional Stepwise
Refinement and Object-Oriented Design strategies. The
macro-process and top-down strategies address the top
levels of a project. The micro-process and bottom-up
strategies address the bottom levels of a project. In
this paper, I propose the Chaos strategy to guide
development on the levels of a project within the
Complexity Gap. I begin by describing parallels between
software development and games of strategy, and by
defining the Software Development Game. I then define
elements of the Chaos strategy, a middle-out,
technology-independent strategy. Finally, I show how to
adapt the Chaos strategy to fit the various
circumstances that arise in complex software
development projects.",

Mature engineering disciplines such as a chemical
engineering have extensive systematic design reuse
practices. In this paper, design reuse in chemical
engineering is compared to current and emerging design
reuse in software engineering. This comparison is based
on the analogy that a chemical process that is
implemented as a chemical plant is comparable to a
software architecture that is implemented as a software
system. The goal is to gain some insights on how
engineering models are used to support systematic
design reuse. These insights will help form the basis
of model based software engineering.",

the use of requirements visualisation techniques in the
construction of an environment for the reverse
engineering of validated formal specifications from
rapid prototypes. The work will build on established
research by the proposers in the animation of
model-based and algebraic formal specifications. The
report examines the current problems with requirements
engineering and looks at solutions based on software
prototyping and executable formal specifications. It is
argued that prototypes built in this way can be too
``formal'', in the sense that the customer viewing the
prototype cannot easily comprehend the results of
execution. For these types of prototypes to be useful,
the output must be transformed into a representation
which is more amenable for comprehension, namely
graphical visualisations and animation instead of
cryptic mathematical expressions. In this context, the
term ``animation'' normally refers to an executable
version of a formal specification which can be used to
demonstrate to the user that the specification is doing
what it should. In other words, the animation is a
program whose behaviour can be explored with a view to
confirming the user's expectations. Our aim is to
investigate techniques and a methodology for building
this program prior to the specification, based on some
initial informal requirements, and reverse engineering
a formal specification from it. The product of the
research programme will be a software environment to
support this requirements visualisation, animation and
reverse engineering approach.",

The ADV approach was created to specify clearly and

approach should lead to high degree of reuse of designs
for both interface and application components. Our
specification framework is based on descriptive schemas
for both ADVs and ADOs, that are the basic building
blocks for the system specification, design, and
implementation using the ADV approach. These schemas
describe the structural, static, and dynamic features
of each system object, and include the specification of
the concurrent operation of system components.
Additionally, such schemas can be seen as an underlying
structure to support the development of a specification
language that describes the interconnection between
interface and application components.",

the concept of relations between software components as
a foundation for abstraction, reuse and automatic code
generation for component interrelationship. Furthermore
we suggest to supplement frameworks with an active
cookbook consisting of active recipes which guide the
software developer in the use of framework elements. In

Domain analysis plays a critical role for systematic

domain models need to be classified. This paper
proposes a classification method for domain models. The
method is an integration of the enumerative hierarchy

help the domain analyst to locate an analogous domain

the approach is more flexible and more descriptive than

and some of the so far less-considered areas, which we
believe may support software reuse to get off the
ground. We mention our ongoing research in software
reuse, discussing reuse experiments in the areas of
long-term software evolution and component programming.
Furthermore, we indicate the critical importance of
interactions among the reuse and related communities

customers needs, requirements engineering (RE) is the
most crucial phase within software development. During
RE not only the functional requirements but also the
so-called 'non-functional' requirements of the planned
software system have to be elicited from the customer
and represented in a requirements document in order to
provide the software designer with a complete and
correct specification. Conventional RE methods normally
support only parts of this process or help stating only
specific kinds of requirements. These methodological
problems are the prime motivation for the REFSQ
workshop series held in conjunction with the CAiSE
Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering.
In order to find solutions which handle the described
deficiencies it is the goal of this workshop series to
improve the understanding of the relations between RE
and software quality. This year's workshop, REFSQ'95,
was held in conjunction with CAiSE'95 in Jyvaskyla,
Finland on June 12th and 13th 1995. After the reviewing
process we accepted 12 out of the 18 papers submitted.
Finally, 11 full and position papers were presented at
REFSQ'95 and discussed with the 15 participants
(including the organizers). The participants came from
9 different countries.",

compose and ``interoperate'' with each other. From the
mental models perspective the group was interested in
exploring the methods by which humans develop good

methods by which one can design software interfaces
that ``project'' easy-to-assimilate mental models, and
how existing programming languages support/hinder these

abstract = "The Workshop on ``Domain Analysis in the DoD,''
sponsored by the Software Reuse Initiative (SRI) and
Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), was held at
MITRE Corporation, in McLean, Virginia on 26 --- 27
September 1995. The primary purpose of the workshop was
to discuss issues related to identifying and scoping
domains with emphasis on product lines and to assess
the usefulness of the strawman SRI Domain Scoping
Framework as a proposed basis for this scoping
activity. To this end, two specific objectives were
identified:1. to identify the barriers facing Program
Executive Offices (PEOs) and Program Managers (PMs) in
incorporating domain analysis technology in their
organizations and programs and2. to recommend a range
of solutions and/or approaches to address and overcome
these barriers. Many DoD and Industry programs can
benefit from the application of domain analysis
technology (concepts, processes, methods, and tools).
However, PEOs/PMs rarely have enough information
regarding why, when, or how to use domain analysis on
their programs. A more basic question is whether there
are sufficient reuse benefits within an
organization/domain to warrant the associated
investment in domain engineering --- does a product
line exist that justifies reuse costs? The solution to
this problem involves bringing together leading domain
analysis experts and PEO/PM representatives and
managers to discuss a framework, currently under
development by the DoD SRI, to guide DoD managers in
applying domain analysis in their organizations and
programs. The workshop brought together over fifty
representatives from DoD, commercial, and academic
organizations, with varied interests and perspectives
on Domain Analysis, including those of methodologist,
practitioner, management, and customer. The workshop
approach included a Program Management panel, Domain
Analysis Experts panel, a follow-up plenary discussion
session and two working group sessions. In the working
groups, the attendees were divided into 5 color-coded
teams: Blue, Green, Gold, Orange, and Red, and were
instructed to (1) identify issues in performing domain
scoping, using the SRI Domain Scoping Framework as a
``strawman''; and (2) make recommendations for
improving the framework and applying its principles in
real-world situations. The teams were chosen to provide
a diversified mix of view-points. Each team included a
facilitator/rapporteur (responsible for keeping the
discussion activities relevant to the task at hand) and
a Framework expert (who served as the technical
authority on issues relating to framework content). The
general team approach involved focusing on issues and
actions within the individual teams and then looking
across teams for common threads in the plenary
sessions. The ultimate goal was to build consensus and
move ahead with implementation recommendations.",

California, Irvine. Starting this year, the event is
co-organized by University of California, Irvine; and
University of Southern California, Los Angeles (hence
the name change). The symposium will be located
alternately at the two organizing sites --- the next
will be at the University of Southern California in
April 1996. The purpose of this symposium is to bring
together researchers and practitioners to share ideas
and experiences in areas of software engineering. This
year, a successful tools fair organized by IRUS (Irvine
Research Unit in Software) was co-located with the
symposium. The participating vendors were: Atria,
Cadre, Continuus, IDE, Intersolv, Mark V, Rational,
Softool, and Sun. The symposium is slowly gaining
momentum and there has been a noticeable increase in
the number of papers submitted and in participation. We
anticipate further growth in the coming years. The
symposium was co-chaired this year by Barry Boehm
(USC), and Debra Richardson (UCI). The program
committee consisted of 22 people, with a good mixture
of academic and industrial representatives. For further

abstract = "I believe that many software engineers have heard of
learning curves. We know that new skills take time to
learn, that developers take a while to ramp up on a new
project, and that improvement slows as time goes on. I
also believe that we share many misconceptions about
learning curves. We don't assume that learning curves
are relevant to our software projects and we don't use
them in our processes. In this paper, I want to raise
the level of understanding of learning curves within
the Software Engineering community. This paper is for
managers and developers who want to better understand
learning curves. Learning curves are much more than a
hurdle to full productivity. They are both a metaphor
and a specific set of equations that describe the most
common patterns of improvement within stable processes.
Learning curves explain why the productivity of a
stable process changes the way that it does, why
productivity is lowest at the start of a project and
highest at the end of a project. Learning curves
explain that though the improvements diminish
throughout the process, the improvements continue
adding up. And, we can use learning curves to predict
future productivity. This paper is laid out as follows.
In the first section, I define learning curves,
describe their history, and argue that they apply to
Software Engineering. In the second section, I describe
the need to both stabilize and improve a process. Our
concept of process influences how we try to improve it,
so I discuss the implications of two different concepts
of process. Learning curves denote the relationship
between stability and improvement. In the third
section, I discuss the implications of learning curves
on staffing a project. Specifically, I show that
Brooks's observations about man-months can be explained
in terms of learning curves and that we need to keep
teams together on long-term projects. And in the fourth
section, I comment on several technical issues one
might encounter when applying learning curves to
software development. I describe the equations one
might use to model a process as well as the affect
learning curves typically have on software engineering
projects.",

affect your choice of evaluation method. Your
particular choice of evaluation method will be affected
by your evaluation goals, the characteristics of the
object you want to evaluate, the characteristics of the
organisation you work in, and the limitations and
constraints placed on the evaluation exercise. These
different factors interact in complicated ways, so it
is difficult to identify which evaluation method is the
most appropriate. The specific criteria that the DESMET
methodology uses to determine your circumstances are:1.
The evaluation context.2. The nature of the expected
impact of using the method/tool.3. The nature of the
object (i.e., method/tool/generic method) to be
evaluated.4. The scope of impact of the method/tool.5.
The maturity of the method/tool.6. The learning curve

abstract = "A software life-cycle is defined as ``[the activity
related to the software during] the period of time
beginning when the software product is conceived and
ending when the resultant software products are no
longer available for use [7].'' A software development
life-cycle can be broadly divided into phases, each
phase being characterized by a well-defined set of
activities associated with it. A model to represent
such a life-cycle helps team members define their tasks
more precisely. It helps managers track the project
schedule and aids verification of requirements
specification as the product evolves. Traditionally,
software development has been based on the
``Waterfall'' model, shown in figure 1, or its
variations. There is a natural tendency among designers
to proceed in a highly sequential, linear, and
non-iterative manner. Designers tend to adhere to the
old adage ``Well begun is half done,'' by trying to
make the analysis and design of the product as complete
and precise as possible, before even embarking on its
implementation. Every iteration, if any, to refine the
design is viewed as an indicator of an insufficiency in
the design. Tampering with the original conceptual
design is discouraged, and though designers do iterate,
they do so with a feeling of ``guilt/incompetence.''
Conventionally, the different phases in a life-cycle
were classified as follows: * {\em Requirements
Definition and Analysis Phase} --- This phase is
characterized by review and analysis of a functional
document that describes the product. Requirements are
reviewed and analyzed and requirements based test-cases
are also generated at this stage. * {\em Design Phase}
--- Design drafts are reviewed and finalized. Test
cases for design integrity are also generated at this
stage. * {\em Implementation and Testing Phase} --- All
test cases are finalized. The implementation is tested,
first at the unit level, then following integration. *
{\em Installation Phase} --- The system is accepted for
release to customers during this phase. This may
involve some minimal final acceptance level testing. *
{\em Maintenance Phase} --- Regression testing,
software evaluations and specifications for evolving
the software are generated during this phase. The
waterfall model does not have a well defined method of
prototyping. It should be noted that a methodology such
as the one above, provides hardly any latitude for
iteration either. The stress is on refining the output
of each phase to the highest degree possible before the
commencement of the succeeding phase. Such an approach
may however, not prove feasible under certain
circumstances, especially when the product under
development is highly complex, and composed of several
agencies responsible for tasks of very high
specificity. The sheer complexity of the requirements
specification can obscure the underlying details so
much that, a precise and detailed design is rendered
impossible. Another instance is the case with products
that involve ``cutting-edge'' technology, where
research and development forms an integral part of the
developmental life-cycle. The problem with designing
``state-of-the-art'' products is that, usually the most
efficient design isn't yet known at the analysis stage.
This necessitates an iterative approach to the
analysis, design, and implementation stages discernible
in a product's developmental life-cycle. However, the
necessity of an iterative approach to product
development requires basic building blocks that do not
undergo drastic mutation over iterations. This is an
issue of the choice of the ``Problem representation
domain'' in which the model life-cycle is to be
represented. The solution to this is to adopt an
object-oriented approach since objects are fairly
stable building blocks that can be identified at a very
early stage in the product life-cycle. In most cases,
the analysis, design, and implementation stages can all
be mapped into the object-oriented domain without
having to make disjoint mappings into the ``Structured
Analysis Domain'' [3]. And the ``Fountain model,''
employed with much success in object-oriented projects,
is ideally suited [5] for modeling such projects. A
problem that is seldom addressed in concerned
literature is the tendency for projects employing an
iterative paradigm to run behind schedule. This paper
investigates the most common causes of schedule
slippage in a typical project based on the fountain
model. Solutions that project team leaders adopt to
counter these causes are also mentioned. ``Constraint
mechanisms'' that are indicators of possible schedule
slippage, are also investigated.",

This problem is particularly serious in real-time
systems because unbounded time values cause the state
space to be infinite. In this paper, we present an
algorithm that produces a compact representation of
reachable state space of a real-time system. The
algorithm yields a small state space, but still retains
enough timing information for analysis. To avoid the
state explosion which can be caused by simply adding
time values to states, our algorithm first uses history
equivalence and transition bisimulation to collapse
states into equivalent classes. In this approach,
equivalent states have identical observable events
although transitions into the states may happen at
different times. The algorithm then augments the
resultant state space with timing relations that
describe time distances between transition executions.
For example, the relation @(tr 1) + 3 \leq @(tr 2) \leq
@(tr 1) + 5 means that transition tr 2 is taken 3 to 5
time units before transition tr 2 is taken. This is
used to analyze timing properties such as minimum and
maximum time distances between events. To show the
effectiveness of our algorithm, we have implemented the
algorithm and are currently comparing it to other
existing techniques which generate state space for
real-time systems.",

the selection of paths of P according to a
structure-based criterion. A common approach is to
derive the reachability graph (RG) of P, select a set
of paths of P, derive one or more inputs for each
selected path, and force deterministic executions of P
according to the selected paths and their inputs. The
use of RG(P) for test path selection has the state
explosion problem, since the number of states of RG(P)
is an exponential function of the number of processes
in P. In this paper, we present a new incremental
approach to structural testing of P. Based on the
hierarchy of processes in P, our incremental testing
approach is to integrate processes in P in a
bottom-to-top manner. When a set S of processes in P at
the same level are integrated, we construct a reduced
RG for S such that the reduced RG contains all
synchronizations involving the processes in S and some
of the synchronizations involving processes at lower
levels in order to connect synchronizations involving
processes in S. Based on the reduced RG for S, we can
select test paths to focus on the detection of
interface faults involving processes in S. After the
selection of paths, RG(S) is further reduced in order
to retain only some of the synchronizations involving
processes in S that are needed in order to connect
synchronizations between S and other processes in P.
Our incremental approach alleviates the state explosion
problem and offers other advantages.",

context is defined as a complete set of requirements,
that is, there is a behavior specified for every
possible input and input sequence. Under the leadership
of Dr. Nancy G. Leveson, the Irvine Safety Research
Group has developed a state-based requirements
specification language RSML (Requirements State Machine
Language) using TCAS II as a testbed [6]. The TCAS
requirements specification project was very successful;
RSML was well liked by all participants in the project,
and the formal specification has been adopted as the
official TCAS II requirements. The requirements
document has been delivered to the FAA and has
undergone an extensive independent validation and
verification effort (IV\&V). In a previous
investigation, we defined procedures for analyzing
state-based requirements specifications for
completeness and consistency [5]. To demonstrate that
our approach is feasible and is applicable to realistic
systems, we have implemented a draft analysis tool and
we have applied the analysis to the TCAS II
requirements. The initial results from the analysis
effort were encouraging [4, 5] and scaled well to a
large requirements specification. The most complex
parts of the TCAS requirements specification have
recently been analyzed. Even though the effort was
largely successful, some limitations with the approach
have surfaced. Most importantly, the accuracy of the
analysis algorithms needs improvement. When analyzing
the most complex parts of the TCAS requirements, the
number of spurious error reports can occasionally be
overwhelming. Furthermore, we discovered that once the

data state of a program will be manifested under
testing. Perturbation analysis injects errors into the
data state of an executing program and traces the
impact of those errors on the intervening states and
the program's output. The injection is performed by
perturbation functions that randomly change the
program's data state. Using perturbation analysis we
demonstrate that different test sets may satisfy the
same testing criterion but have significantly different
information content. We believe that ``consistency of
information content'' is a crucial measure of the
quality of a testing strategy. We show how perturbation
analysis may be used to assess individual testing
strategies and to compare different testing strategies.
The ``coupling effect'' of mutation testing implies
that there is little variation among mutation-adequate
test sets for a program. This implication is
investigated for two simple programs by analyzing the

the reliability of software is important. By analyzing
the debugging process used by experienced programmers,

suspicious faults (variables and locations), and (4)
restoring program state to a specific statement for

new approach to enhancing the process of fault
localization based on dynamic program slicing and
mutation-based testing. In this new approach, we have
developed the technique of Critical Slicing to enable
debuggers to highlight suspicious statements and thus
to confine the search domain to a small region. The
Critical Slicing technique is partly based on
``statement deletion'' mutant operator of the
mutation-based testing methodology. We have explored
properties of Critical Slicing, such as the
relationship among Critical Slicing, Dynamic Program
Slicing, and Executable Static Program Slicing; the
cost to construct critical slices; and the
effectiveness of Critical Slicing. Results of

therefore be useful to have ways (1) to reduce the cost

particular, the number of tests to be executed is an
important and useful attribute of the entity ``testing
effort''. All-uses coverage is a data flow testing
strategy widely researched in recent years. In this
paper we present spanning sets of duas for the all-uses
coverage criterion. A spanning set of duas is a minimum
set of duas (definition-use associations) such that a
set of test paths covering them covers every dua in the
program. We give a method to find a spanning set of
duas using the relation of subsumption between duas.
Intuitively, there exists a natural ordering between
the duas in a program: some duas are covered more
easily than others, since coverage of the former is
automatically guaranteed whenever the latter are
covered. Those duas that are the most difficult to be
covered according to this ordering are called
unconstrained. A spanning set of duas is composed of
unconstrained duas. Our results are useful for reducing
the cost of testing, since the generation of test paths
can be targeted to cover the smaller spanning set of
duas, rather than all those in a program. On the other
hand, assuming that a different path is taken to cover
each dua in a spanning set, the cardinality of spanning
sets can be used to estimate the cost of testing. Other
interesting uses of spanning sets of duas are also

were produced by the real faults, and the 2272 others

consistency between errors generated by mutations and
by real faults: 85\% of the 2272 errors due to the

appropriate. Moreover, at most points in development,
different portions of a software system are at
different stages in development, and consequently in
different representations. State-space analysis
techniques (reachability analysis, model checking,
simulation, etc.) have been developed for several

constructing space analysis tools using a core set of
basic representations and components. Such a tool
generation approach differs from translation to a
common formalism. We need not map every supported
design formalism to a single internal form that
completely captures the original semantics; rather, a
shared ``inframodel'' represents only the essential
information for interpretation by tool components that
can be customized to reflect the semantics of each
formalism. This results in more natural and compact
internal representations, and more efficient analysis,
than a purely translational approach. We illustrate the
approach by applying the prototype tool to a small
example problem, coordination of access to a coffee
machine. The coffee machine is controlled by an Ada
program, and the protocol of human users is modeled
with Petri nets. Nets and process graph models are
represented in the common internal form, and their
composite behavior is analyzed by the prototype tool.",

statements. Slices consist of statements that
potentially affect (or are affected by) the value of a
particular variable at a given statement. Two
assumptions are implicit in this definition: (1) that
variables and statements are concepts of the
programming language in which the program is written,
and (2) that slices consist solely of statements.
Generalised slicing is an extension of traditional
slicing where variables are replaced by arbitrary named
program entities and statements by arbitrary program
constructs. A model of generalised slicing is presented
that allows the essence of any slicing tool to be
reduced to a node marking process operating on a
program syntax tree. Slicing tools can thus be
implemented in a straight-forward way using tree-based
techniques such as attribute grammars.A variety of
useful program decompositions are shown to be instances
of generalised slicing including: call graph
generation, interface extraction, slicing of
object-oriented inheritance hierarchies and slices
based on type dependences. Examples are also given of
how slicing can enhance understanding of formal
compiler specifications and aid the creation of subset

complex communications protocol that provides reliable
delivery of data in multicast-capable, packet-switching
telecommunication networks. The protocol, called the
Reliable Multicasting Protocol (RMP), was developed
incrementally using a combination of formal and
informal techniques in an attempt to ensure the
correctness of its implementation. Our development
process involved three concurrent activities: (1) the
initial construction and incremental enhancement of a
formal state model of the protocol machine; (2) the
initial coding and incremental enhancement of the
implementation; and (3) model-based testing of
iterative implementations of the protocol. These
activities were carried out by two separate teams: a
design team and a V\&V team. The design team built the
first version of RMP with limited functionality to
handle only nominal requirements of data delivery. In a
series of iterative steps, the design team added new
functionality to the implementation while the V\&V team
kept the state model in fidelity with the
implementation. This was done by generating test cases
based on suspected errant or off-nominal behaviors
predicted by the current model. If the execution of a
test was different between the model and
implementation, then the differences helped identify
inconsistencies between the model and implementation.
The dialogue between both teams drove the co-evolution
of the model and implementation. Testing served as the
vehicle for keeping the model and implementation in
fidelity with each other. This paper describes (1) our
experiences in developing our process model; and (2)
three example problems found during the development of
RMP.",

testing, testability, mutation testing, and the
comparative evaluation of testing strategies. In this
workshop paper, we explore the fundamental nature of
faults by looking at the differences between a
syntactic and semantic characterization of faults. We
offer definitions of these characteristics and explore
the differentiation. Specifically, we discuss the
concept of ``size'' of program faults --- the
measurement of size provides interesting and useful
distinctions between the syntactic and semantic
characterization of faults. We use the fault size
observations to make several predictions about testing
and present preliminary data that supports this model.
We also use the model to offer explanations about
several questions that have intrigued testing

is executed under a heavy load or over a long period of

perform under stress is very important. Current
approaches to stress, or load, testing treat the system
as a black box, generating test data based on
parameters specified by the tester within an
operational profile. In this paper, we advocate a
structural approach to load testing. There exist many
structural testing methods; however, their main goal is
generating test data for executing all statements,
branches, definition-use pairs, or paths of a program
at least once, without consideration for executing any
particular path extensively. Our initial work has
focused on the identification of potentially load
sensitive modules based on a static analysis of the
module's code, and then limiting the stress testing to
the regions of the modules that could be the potential
causes of the load sensitivity. This analysis will be
incorporated into a testing tool for structural load
testing which takes a program as input, and
automatically determines whether that program needs to
be load tested, and if so, automatically generates test

the execution of the selected statement may require

control flow information of a program during the search

these types of programs because they are not able to
identify statements that affect execution of the
selected statement. Our approach uses data dependence
analysis to guide the process of test data generation.
Data dependence analysis automatically identifies

Engineering for Parallel and Distributed Systems was
held in Berlin, Germany. The two day workshop was
co-sponsored by the German Computer Society GI
(Gesellschaft fur Informatik), and organised in
association with the International Software Engineering
Conference --- ICSE 18. The aim of the workshop was to
provide a forum for exchange of information and
publication of the latest technological and theoretical
advances in software engineering for parallel and
distributed systems. Our previous experience of running
short workshop on this topic in Aachen, Germany (1993),
Como, Italy (1994) and Hawaii, USA (1995) had indicated
that there was a growing need for this specialized
event [1], [2], [3]. The International Programme
Committee was formed from a group of experts in
different countries and application areas, all of whom
were enthusiastic to explore and publicize contemporary
research in parallel and distributed software
engineering. In this report we discuss the rationale
for the workshop, detail its outcomes and look at some
of the research issues that it highlighted. The
proceedings of the workshop are published by Chapman
and Hall [4], and full information is available on the
PDSE Web page:

and requirements on software. While system support for
multimedia has been seriously investigated for several
years now, the software engineering community has not
yet reached a deep understanding of the impacts of
multimedia on their field. MMSD'96 brought together a
representative spectrum of researchers investigating
this issue. Four general observations could be retained
from their contributions: 1. distributed multimedia
applications exploit both more long-term potential and
more persistent research problems than multimedia PC
applications; 2. A reference model of multimedia
software is not yet in reach; the large number of
models proposed, even at MMSD, still lack better
rationales, theoretic foundation, and convergence. 3.
the MMSD community brings together people with a
``document-background'' and those with a ``software
background''; their views and approaches are still far
from being harmonized. 4. While the multimedia
community struggles for a common understanding among
its members, it is in desperate need of a harmonization
with approaches to distributed software development. In
the remainder of this article, we will review issues to
be addressed in the MMSD context, discuss the
contributions made at the workshop itself, and draw
conclusions for the state of the art.",

according to which every software document is
considered to contain a language of its own, which is a
set of symbols. The understandability of documents
written according to different documentation practices
can be compared using the rules of the language theory.
The method and the language theory are presented by
using source programs with different naming styles as
example documents. The method can, at least
theoretically, be applied to any kind of document. It
can also be used to explain the benefits of some
well-known software design methods.",

abstract = "The 8th International Workshop on Software
Specification and Design (IWSSD-8) was held at Schloss
Velen, Germany, in March 1996. In order to foster
informed and fruitful discussions, the workshop was an
invitation-only event of limited size. Based on formal
submissions, approximately 60 people were selected and
invited. Like its predecessors, IWSSD-8 maintained the
principle that the accepted papers should serve as
background material for the workshop. Therefore, the
workshop did not include formal paper presentations,
but rather provided an opportunity to engage in real
work, with intensive discussions focussed around major
themes. Each theme was discussed in a separate working
group directed by a Working Group Chair who organized
their group members so as to discuss the research
issues of that particular theme. This year the themes
selected were Requirements Engineering, Design
Engineering, Software Architecture, and
Concurrency/Distribution.IWSSD has established a
tradition of using ``case studies'' as a focus for
individual working groups. These case studies, supplied
in advance to participants, have proved to be a
fruitful way of working. Evidence of this can be seen
most clearly in the ``succeedings'' or workshop reports
which have followed previous workshops. It was decided
that for IWSSD-8, in order to provide common ground
between the themes, a single common case study should
be used. The ``Report on the Inquiry into the London
Ambulance Service'' was selected, with each theme
drawing on it in a manner appropriate to their own
interests and concerns. The London Ambulance Service
(LAS) is briefly summarized below and discussed in the
first paper appearing in the proceedings. The case
study was presented in a plenary session at the
beginning of the workshop and the findings of the
different working groups presented and discussed at the
end of the workshop, again in a plenary session. In
order to make best use of the time available, working
group members were asked to prepare for the workshop by
familiarizing themselves with the case study and the
major issues in their area relevant to that case study.
We believe that this format made it both attractive and
rewarding for people to attend, and was a major reason
for the success of this workshop.",

attitudes, perceptions, satisfaction and behavior in
reference to constraints within computerized design
tools. It also attempted to examine the differences in
perspective between tool builders and tool users
regarding appropriate design practices, as communicated
via design tools. The study created a typology of
constraints and described a set of strategies users
employ in the negotiation of constraints encountered in
of computer-aided systems engineering (CASE) tools.
Also addressed were (a) the cognitive fit between tool
users and tool builders in terms of appropriate and
necessary constraints, and (b) issues of creativity in
the design of computer software. An eight-page
questionnaire containing 61 questions was developed by
conducting structured interviews with tool users and
managers, in industry. Following a pre-test, the
questionnaire was administered to an international
sample of tool users, tool builders and non-CASE
software application developers (a control group). More
than 200 questionnaires were returned (half via
electronic mail) from respondents largely in North
America, but also from Europe, Australia and New
Zealand. Analysis followed a factorial design that
evaluated the impact of normative attitudes toward and
perceptions of control upon satisfaction and behavior.
Most respondents reported not feeling especially
encumbered with constraints in their tools, although
most also reserved the right to override or work around
constraints, depending upon circumstances. The study
found that normative attitudes toward control have a
significant impact upon behavior in response to
constraints in computerized design tools. (Favorable
attitudes toward control are associated significantly
with conforming behavior.) It also found that
perceptions of control have a significant impact upon
satisfaction and behavior. (Perceptions of high control
are associated significantly with low satisfaction and
with resistant behavior.) No significant differences
were observed between tool users and tool builders in
terms of key constructs. Suggestions for future
research include investigation of concerns raised by
the current study, examination of similar effects in
other domains (such as architectural design), and
development of the potential for intelligent machine
guidance in creative design activities.",

finite state machines (FSMs) in each development phase

well known and documented. However, despite the fact
that much of this work is more than twenty years old,
there appears to be no detailed proposal for a
consistent FSM-based approach be used across all
development phases for other than very specific
application types. We suggest that the adoption of a
systematic FSM-based approach across all phases,
including implementation, may allow a number of major
problems in software development to be either
eliminated or simplified. In this way, testable, highly
dependable systems can be produced. In such systems,
behaviour is explicitly defined, built, and tested
using both functional and structural methods. Undesired
behaviours can be found and eliminated, and abnormal or
unexpected input explicitly handled. We discuss the
issues we consider to be involved, and the benefits
which we expect may be gained. We also identify those
areas where further work appears to be required.",

software maintenance costs. One problem in carrying out
such a restructuring is planning the new detailed
design. The star diagram manipulable visualization can
help a programmer redesign a program based on abstract
data types. However, our measurements revealed that the
view can be too large for a programmer to effectively
assimilate. Also, design plans can be expressed only by
restructuring, although our studies revealed that it is
beneficial to preplan a restructuring. Finally, the
tool user can build a star diagram for only a single
data structure, although an abstract data type might
actually have several components or have multiple
instantiations. Exploiting basic properties of the star
diagram can mitigate these problems. First,
programmer-controlled elision can remove clutter from
the star diagram view. Second, elision and annotation
of star diagram components can mimic restructuring,
thereby supporting the planning of a restructuring.
Such support also allows for the planning of a
non-restructuring maintenance task. Finally, to
dynamically control what data structures are
visualized, the tool user can union star diagrams. We
built a star diagram planning tool for C programs,
measured its elision capabilities, and performed a
programmer study for the encapsulation of a widely-used
data structure in a 28,000 line program. We found that
the amount of elision can be substantial, but is not
always adequate. In the study we found that each
programming team successfully planned their
restructuring in rather different, unanticipated

Gamma, Helm, Johnson, and Vlissides in 1994.
Recognizing that designs change, each pattern ensures
that a certain system aspect can vary over time such as
the operations that can be applied to an object or the
algorithm of a method. The patterns are described by
constructs such as the inheritance and reference
relations, attempting to emulate more dynamic
relationships. As a result, the design patterns
demonstrate how awkward it is to program natural
concepts of behavioral evolution when using a
traditional object-oriented language. In this paper we
present a new relation between classes: the context
relation. It directly supports behavioral evolution,
and it is meaningful at the analysis, design, and
implementation level. At the design level we picture a
context relation as a new form of arrow between
classes. At the implementation level we use a small
extension of C++. The basic idea is that if class C is
context-related to a base class B, then B-objects can
get their functionality dynamically altered by
C-objects. Our language construct for doing this is a
generalization of the method update in Abadi and
Cardelli's imperative object calculus. A C-object may
be explicitly attached to a B-object, or it may be
implicitly attached to a group of B-objects for the
duration of a method invocation. We demonstrate how the
context relation can be used to easily model and
program the Adapter, Bridge, Chain of Responsibility,
Decorator, Iterator, Observer, State, Strategy, and

Used in Decomposing Systems into Modules,'' identified
simplifying change as a critical criterion for
modularizing software. Successful designs are those in
which a change can be accommodated by modifying a
single module. There is a tacit assumption in most of
the literature that once a change has been limited to a
single module, the cost of making the change is
essentially inconsequential. But modules have
complexity of their own and are frequently large. Thus,
making a change can be expensive, even if limited to a
single module. We present a method of decomposing
modules into smaller components for the purpose of
supporting change. Although similar to the approach of
modularizing programs described by Parnas, our approach
is specific to decomposing modules. It is not intended
to replace traditional high level modularization but
rather to augment it with a second level of
modularization where the standard of information hiding
can be relaxed. The goal of the method is to make
modules easier to change by decomposing them around
smaller design decisions --- ideally encoding only one
design choice per submodule component. In this paper we
show how submodule components can be used to address
the issue of change. We also demonstrate how the
ability to address change with submodule components is,
to a large extent, independent of the design level
modularization. Moreover, we show that, at least in
some cases, by using submodule components the choice of
high level modularization can itself be changed without
having to rewrite large amounts of code.A method of
implementation is presented using inheritance,
parameterization, and static binding in a way that
minimizes implementation dependencies between
components. The method supports fine grained
decomposition with flexible composability and almost no
runtime overhead.",

technique in the context of determining side effects

dereferences (Thru-deref MOD/REF). Initial empirical
results using a combination of a flow-sensitive and a
flow-insensitive aliasing analysis on the same program,
demonstrate that the resulting analysis is much faster

obtains similar precision for the Thru-deref MOD/REF

flow analysis for verifying requirements of
communication protocols. Data flow analysis is a static
analysis method for increasing confidence in the
correctness of software systems by automatically
verifying that a given software artifact (e.g., design
or code) must behave consistently with a specified
requirement. In this case study, we apply the FLAVERS
data flow analysis tool to pseudocode designs of the
three way handshake connection establishment protocol
and of the alternating bit protocol and prove that the
behavior of the pseudocode is consistent with protocol
behavioral requirement specifications. We show how
FLAVERS is a particularly effective because it is
computationally inexpensive, requires minimal human
interaction, and is a general approach that can be
applied incrementally until the desired accuracy is
achieved. In addition, we show how assumptions about
the environment in which a software system is executed
can be incorporated into the analysis, using message
losses as an example. We present experimental results
and derive some guidelines about the classes of
protocol requirement specifications that may be
amenable to verification using FLAVERS.",

uniform interaction among a set of components written

to support for interoperability are inadequate because
they lack seamlessness: that is, they generally force

existence of multiple languages or the crossing of
language boundaries. In this paper we first discuss
some foundations for polylingual interoperability, then
review and assess existing approaches. We then outline
PolySPIN, an approach in which interoperability can be

portion of the finite-state requirements specification
of TCAS II (Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance
System) into a form accepted by a model checker (SMV).
We successfully used the model checker to investigate a
number of dynamic properties of the system. We report
on our experiences, describing our approach to
translating the specification to the SMV language and
our methods for achieving acceptable performance in
model checking, and giving a summary of the properties
that we were able to check. We consider the paper as a
data point that provides reason for optimism about the
potential for successful application of model checking
to software systems. In addition, our experiences
provide a basis for characterizing features that would
be especially suitable for model checkers built
specifically for analyzing software systems. The intent
of this paper is to evaluate symbolic model checking of
state-machine based specifications, not to evaluate the
TCAS II specification. We used a preliminary version of
the specification, the version 6.00, dated March, 1993,
in our study. We did not have access to later versions,

abstract = "Requirements engineering is concerned with the
identification of high-level goals to be achieved by
the system envisioned, the refinement of such goals,
the operationalization of goals into services and
constraints, and the assignment of responsibilities for
the resulting requirements to agents such as humans,
devices and programs. Goal refinement and
operationalization is a complex process which is not
well supported by current requirements engineering
technology. Ideally some form of formal support should
be provided, but formal methods are difficult and
costly to apply at this stage. This paper presents an
approach to goal refinement and operationalization
which is aimed at providing constructive formal support
while hiding the underlying mathematics. The principle
is to reuse generic refinement patterns from a library
structured according to strengthening/weakening
relationships among patterns. The patterns are once for
all proved correct and complete. They can be used for
guiding the refinement process or for pointing out
missing elements in a refinement. The cost inherent to
the use of a formal method is thus reduced
significantly. Tactics are proposed to the requirements
engineer for grounding pattern selection on semantic
criteria. The approach is discussed in the context of
the multi-paradigm language used in the KAOS method;
this language has an external semantic net layer for
capturing goals, constraints, agents, objects and
actions together with their links, and an inner formal
assertion layer that includes a real-time temporal
logic for the specification of goals and constraints.
Some frequent refinement patterns are high-lighted and
illustrated through a variety of examples. The general
principle is somewhat similar in spirit to the
increasingly popular idea of design patterns, although
it is grounded on a formal framework here.",

abstract = "Interest in software architecture as an area of
research, education, and practice within software
engineering has been growing steadily over the past
decade. Software architecture is concerned with the
principled study of large-grained software components,
including their properties, relationships, and patterns
of combination. It is becoming clear that one key to
the effective development, operation, and evolution of
software systems is the design and evaluation of
appropriate architectures. As a complement to the
Fourth Symposium on the Foundations of Software
Engineering (FSE-4), whose theme was software
architecture, the Second International Software
Architecture Workshop (ISAW-2) brought together
practitioners and researchers for two intense days of
discussion and work. The ISAW-2 proceedings [6] were
published in the Joint Proceedings of the SIGSOFT '96
Workshops, ACM Press, ISBN 0-89791-867-3. The
participants were organized into three parallel working
groups each focused on a different topic within
software architecture. * Styles and Patterns ---
Techniques and models for centering software
architecture activities on generally useful design
methods, components, and assemblages of components. *
Architecture Description --- Languages and methods for
the capture of architectural designs. * Tools and
Methods --- Automated aids for designing, evaluating,
validating, implementing, and evolving software
architectures. Tying these work groups together was the
use of a common case study derived from a real-world
architecture found in industry. Each working group
studied this architecture from its particular
perspective and, to a greater or lesser extent, used
the case study to organize their discussions. It is
interesting to note, for example, that the three groups
created specialized depictions of the architecture for
their discussion (see figures 6, 8, and 10). The case
study was the architecture of the Call Center Customer
Care (C4) System, which was developed by Andersen
Consulting. A description of the architecture and some
of its more interesting challenges appears in Section
2. It is reproduced here in the hopes that it might be
prove of continued use to the community. Also appearing
here are reports from each working group. The Styles
and Patterns Working Group was led by Frances Paulisch,
of Siemens, and Mary Shaw, of CMU. The group tried to
uncover the styles and patterns that underlay various
components of the C4 architecture. In the process, they
defined a new kind of architectural style that they
named the Data Ooze. The Architectural Description
Working Group was led by Paul Clements, of the SEI, and
Jeff Magee, of Imperial College. The group concentrated
on identifying critical aspects of architectures that
require description and on identifying important areas
where further work in architectural description is
needed. The Tools and Methods Working group was led by
William Griswold, of UCSD, and Philippe Kruchten, of
Rational. The group pretended to go through a
development cycle for the C4 system in order to uncover
various architectural tool and method needs. At the
conclusion of the workshop, the working group chairs
held a panel session in which each group asked a
``challenge'' question of the other two groups. The
questions and responses appear in Section 5.2. We hope
that these succeedings capture at least some essence of
the very fruitful discussion that occurred at the
workshop. Of course, this report cannot replace the
benefits of actual attendance. The workshop will indeed
continue, and we hope that the reader will be
interested in attending a future ISAW.",

abstract = "In this paper, I describe a new outlook on the history
of Software Engineering. I portray large-scale
structures within Software Engineering to give a better
understanding of the flow of history. I use these
large-scale structures to reveal the steady, ongoing
evolution of concepts, and show how they relate to the
myriad whorls and eddies of change. I also have four
smaller, more specific purposes in writing this paper.
First, I want to point out that old ideas do not die.
In The Mythical Man-Month after 20 Years, Brooks claims
``the Waterfall Model is Wrong.'' But if the Waterfall
model were wrong, we would stop arguing over it. Though
the Waterfall model may not describe the whole truth,
it describes an interesting structure that occurs in
many well-defined projects and it will continue to
describe this truth for a long time to come. I expect
the Waterfall model will live on for the next one
hundred years and more. Second, I want to show that the
Chaos model, Chaos life cycle, Complexity Gap, and
Chaos strategy are part of the natural evolution of
Software Engineering. The Chaos model and strategy
supersede, but do not contradict, the Waterfall and
Spiral models, and the Stepwise Refinement strategy.
They are more up to date because they express
contemporary issues more effectively, and fit our
contemporary situations better. The Chaos model, life
cycle, and strategy are equally as important, but not
better than, other concepts. Third, I compare the Chaos
model, life cycle, and strategy to other models, life
cycles, and strategies. This paper can be considered a
comparison of the ideas presented in my papers about
chaos with other ideas in the field. I avoided
comparisons in my other papers because I wanted to
define those ideas in their own terms and the
comparisons did not further the new ideas. Fourth, I
make a few predictions about the next ten years of
Software Engineering. The large-scale structures
described in this history provide a stronger base for
understanding how software engineering will evolve in
the future. This paper is laid out as follows. In the
first section, I use the flow of water as a metaphor to
describe the flow of progress in Software Engineering.
I use the Water metaphor to show some of the structures
within Software Engineering. The current work builds on
top of the historical work, and future work will build
on top of current work. In the remaining sections, I
describe the waves, streams, and tides that portray the
evolution of concepts and technologies in Software
Engineering.",

methodology for modeling behaviorally-complex system

paper. The BBM provides guidelines for a

stage of system development, while placing the emphasis
on system behavior and providing notations to represent
this behavior. In Behaviorally-Based system modeling,
all active services and system behavior at each instant
are presented in one place (the relevant system state).
Hence, problem domain information is more easily
carried through the analysis phase allowing for a clear
separation between system analysis and system design.
In addition, inconsistencies in describing system
behavior can be avoided more easily; where such
problems occur they are detected and resolved with
greater facility. The BBM is compared to more
functional approaches, such as Hatley and Pirbhai's
approach [1], highlighting the BBM's advantages. An
experiment conducted in a graduate software engineering
class is described. The experiment has shown that
system modeling performance was significantly improved,
in both accuracy and speed, when following the BBM.
These design benefits of the BBM are then discussed and
illustrated.",

constraints on CASE tool vendors, and this has impeded
their adoption [10]. A more incremental strategy should
be considered for the transfer and the diffusion of

system called Open Software Development System (OSDS)
based on this approach. First, we describe difficulties
inherent in the management of documents involved in

requirements to address those difficulties. Finally, we

an extension of Mosaic [3] that enables anyone with

abstract = "The aim of this paper is a working-out of an open
authoring framework for an automated documentation
process binded with an object manufacturing-specific
engineering framework. Using standards close together
to support product documentation as part of the
life-cycle of manufactured products is becoming an
actual and urgent topic for industry. Indeed, this area
leads people to describe very complex systems, but it
uses different models, based on many standards, to be
handled together during the life cycle steps of these
systems. A customizable automated authoring and
publishing framework trying to take into account some
multimedia research aspects should make the work easier
for the designers of such manufacturing systems,
allowing them to follow the design process and to have
a better communication. We contribute to the problem by
using an object-oriented approach providing
structuration, abstraction, re-use and easier upgrading
based upon textual and graphical modes through the
integration and merging of domain models with object
services like customized editors, browsers and
parsers.",

Security [1] was held on 1-4 April 1997 in Zurich,

world gathered to discuss advances being made primarily
in the area of defensive information warfare. This was
primarily a research-oriented event which attracted
principal investigators working in the security field
from about 14 nations. I attended the conference for
the following four reasons: * I wanted to update my
knowledge of the area. * I wanted to ascertain what
progress has been made in the field. * I wanted to
determine whether there were any breakthrough
technologies on the horizon. * I wanted to understand
the threats being guarded against and the defensive
strategies that leaders in the field were recommending.
As I will relate later, significant progress has been
in many defensive information warfare areas. I
particularly was impressed by the advances that have
been made in the area of cryptography, digital
signatures and communications protocols. I was
disappointed by the perceived lack of progress over the
years in the important area of trusted systems and
information security infrastructure development. This
was the first conference that I have attended on the
subject in about a decade. I selected the event because
I thought that it would allow me to view both present
work in the field and look into the future.",

abstract = "The article discusses hypertext and its use in the
development of CASE based information systems.
Information systems development is a lengthy process,
comprising various phases dealing with different
development processes --- from systems analysis, to
system characterization and design, and culminating in
the setting up of the system and assimilation by users.
This is called the information system life cycle. The
technology which deals with computerization of the
various phases of information systems development is
called CASE, or Computer-Aided Software Engineering.
The work of the planner and programmer is frequently
conducted in different work environments according to
the phases of the system life cycle. To date, no
computerized interface exists between the various
environments, so that, in effect, management of the
development phases is partially manual. The aim of this
article is to show that a hypertext approach can be
used to deal with the current difficulties in
CASE-based information systems development. The basic
premise of this article is that the CASE system should
be viewed as a database, over which an appropriate
dynamic hypertext model can then be defined. This
approach differs from all other CASE approaches, which
view CASE solely as a tool or working environment.
Hypertext was developed in recent years to cope with
the growing need for computer-aided management of large
databases (particularly text-based ones). Hypertext
enables the building of a large database and creation
of information nodes with links between them, which
make it possible to manage and control the many
elements dispersed through numerous environments. This
article sets out to show that it is possible to harness
hypertext to manage many CASE-based work environments,
thereby creating a computerized tool which draws
together different work environments and enables
management and control of its various elements.",

being shown in operational models, i.e. models that can
be executed using a suitable support environment. Most
operational models are graphical and can be considered
as high-level programs which are developed using
high-level modeling languages. Generally speaking,
while the OO approach has reached a good maturity at
the programming level (although differences in
individual languages are not negligible) there is no
clear consensus on how it can be extended to the design
and analysis phases. These artificial discontinuities
can be eliminated if a single modeling language is used
which is operational. The operational approach
eliminates the scope and semantic discontinuities in
the development process by using a single, integrated,
formal set of modeling abstractions to create a given
executable model. It was to address these problems and
provide advanced software architectural features, that
O$^3$ ML was developed by us. Combining the concept of
Operational, OO and Modeling we get a modeling language
which we refer to as Operational Object-Oriented
Modeling Language (O$^3$ ML) that provides the basic
vocabulary used to express both domain knowledge and

representing an artifact of the ``solution.'' With
this, a solution is represented as a directed graph of
URAs establishing dependencies in a unified manner.
This helps bring in other possibilities like project
tracking, deciphering contexts and evolution in a
unified way, etc. We then propose a process model
oriented towards solutions, and which strives to reuse
earlier experiences with the concept of a ``Solution

testable object-oriented (OO) software is introduced in
this paper. The testing of conventional OO software
focuses on the generation of tests for existing objects
and systems; the testable object-oriented programming
(TOOP) method draws attention to building testabilities
into objects and systems during coding or compiling, so
that the succeeding processes in test generation and
implementation can be simplified. A new method of TOOP
is developed to improve the testability of OO software.
Software testability at object level and system level
is quantitatively modelled. A set of fundamental
built-in testable mechanisms oriented to the basic
control structures in objects is constructed in order
to improve the testability of OO software in terms of
test controllability and observability. The most
interesting feature obtained by TOOP is that the
built-in tests in any objects can be inherited and
reused in the same way as that of codes or functions in
conventional OO software.",

how to undertake a quantitative case study based on

the context of methods and tool evaluations, case
studies are a means of evaluating methods and tools as
part of the normal software development activities
undertaken by an organisation. The main benefit of such
case studies is that they allow the effect of new
methods and tools to be assessed in realistic
situations. Thus, case studies provide a cost-effective
means of ensuring that process changes provide the
desired results. However, unlike formal experiments and
surveys, case studies do not have a well-understood
theoretical basis. This series of articles provides
guidelines for organising and analysing case studies so
that your investigations of new technologies will

Technology (OOT) that we consider key to lowering cost

Frameworks[Coplien]. Design Patterns exist at a level
of abstraction that provides a high return on reuse
investment because they model stable relationships that
are not likely to change as a system evolves and which
can be reused across systems [Coplien]. It is not the

is our purpose to illustrate the advantages of this

user-oriented. The factors and requirements of CASE
users are not given enough consideration in the
production of CASE tools. Most today's CASE tools are
motivated by new paradigms and techniques in the area
of software engineering. Therefore, making CASE tools
are often driven by techniques, rather than by real
users' needs and expectations. In this paper, we
present our viewpoints on the reason why CASE tools are
used below expectations. We suggest some important
features that are worthy of careful consideration while
producing more people-oriented and active CASE tools.

abstract = "In a recent conference, there was a panel session on
whether Software Engineering is really engineering. The
debate was interesting but inconclusive, not because
the panelists disagreed on the state of the arts of
software engineering, but on the definition of what is
called engineering. Some thought that the aim of
engineering is to build useful machines, and as far as
we build machines we are engineers using engineering
knowledge. So the question of the panel session was
somehow ill-posed. For others, an engineering needs a
scientific theory to help building machines, and when
the theory cannot well guide practice, the engineering
is still at the craft stage [1]. I believe on the last
definition: an engineering must have a scientific
theory as foundation and this theory can be applied to
build products. If we examine other engineering
disciplines such as mechanical, electrical, or civil
engineering in a modern sense, all these engineering
disciplines have their theoretic foundation [2].
Therefore, anyone who builds products without theoretic
knowledge, whatever the expertise he may have, can only
be called craftsman or artist, not engineer. In this
sense I feel that, with the current knowledge on
software ``engineering'', those who develop software
are akin to artisans rather than engineers. Many people
will disagree with my assertion, by mentioning a great
variety of tools, languages, environments, etc. It is
true that software development practices have achieved
a lot of progress. However, as an engineering
discipline and therefore from its scientific aspect, I
think we are progressing very slowly. The reason is
that there are few theories in software engineering
that can really be qualified scientific and I will try
to demonstrate it from epistemology viewpoint. Comments
will be welcome.",

abstract = "The notion of quality of information system models and
other conceptual models is not well understood.
However, recent quality frameworks have tried to take a
more systematic approach. We have earlier developed a
framework for understanding and assessing the quality
of models in general, with emphasis on models made in
conceptual modeling languages. At the same time, there
is a long tradition on discussing quality of more
specialized models, e.g. in the form of requirements
specifications. Several authors have created taxonomies
of useful properties of models and requirements
specifications, the most comprehensive overview being
presented by Alan Davis. We have in this paper extended
our quality framework for models based on the work by
Davis on quality in requirement specifications, looking
upon a requirements specification as a specific type of
model. Comparing the approaches we find on the one hand
that the properties as summarized by Davis are subsumed
by our framework on a high level, and that there are
aspects within our framework that are not covered by
Davis. On the other hand, the comparison has resulted
in a useful extension and deepening of our framework on
this specific kind of model, and in this way improved
the practical applicability of our framework when
applied to discussing the quality of requirements
specifications.",

abstract = "It is conventional to start research papers on
software engineering, particularly on testing and
software quality, with a statement of how important
software has become in the world, and the potential
dangers of using it when those who construct it really
don't know what they are doing. The author then goes on
to show that his or her theory/method/insights/tools
will make the world safe (or safer, if the author is
modest) by providing the understanding that is lacking.
ISSTA authors (I among them) have started many of their
papers in just this way, but speaking for myself, these
statements are window dressing --- they disguise my
real concern. Long before software was any part of the
workaday world, before there was any ``software
problem'' or even much software, I was interested in
program analysis because programs are arguably the most
intriguing mathematical objects people create. I have
happily pursued the study of programs for over 30
years.I wrote my first program (in ALGOL 58) in 1962
--- it failed to properly calculate a table of values
of the error integral, being somewhat off in the third
significant figure. (I remember the failure, and the
debugging, poring over a decimal memory dump. But I
can't recall the fault.) It took me until the mid-1960s
to recognize that programs per se were much more
interesting than their applications: I stumbled on
Maurice Halstead's book [4] on self-compiling NELIAC
compilers. Here was magical stuff: the master program
defining a language, and itself written in that
language! In my application to the University of
Washington, I explained that I wanted to study
computers ``for themselves, not as they are used.''
Paul Klee, the topologist who was saddled with the task
of replying to mathematics grad students that year,
wrote back to assure me that ``we've got a computer
around here somewhere, and by the time you arrive I'm
sure I can locate it.'' It was an IBM 7090, complete
with IBSYS and FORTRAN, and who could have asked for
software more in need of analysis? There were standards
of respectability for a PhD dissertation even in those
days, so I took up recursive function theory and the
program-equivalence problem. Its application to testing
is that we would like to know if the program under test
differs from its functional specification --- that is,
can it fail? Any understanding of programs through
testing (a mechanical process) must come up against the
program-equivalence problem: we cannot hope to gain
full understanding, because to do so would be to solve
the unsolvable problem. My dissertation was an
exploration of the additional information (beyond the
purely functional) needed to make the
program-equivalence problem solvable [5]. What brought
me to the first ISSTA in 1978 was Bill Howden's 1976
paper ``Reliability of the path analysis strategy''
[6].",

we statically transform a procedure into a constraint

form and control-dependencies. Second, we solve this
system to check whether at least one feasible control
flow path going through the selected point exists and
to generate test data that correspond to one of these
paths. The key point of our approach is to take
advantage of current advances in constraint techniques
when solving the generated constraint system. Global
constraints are used in a preliminary step to detect
some of the non feasible paths. Partial consistency
techniques are employed to reduce the domains of
possible values of the test data. A prototype
implementation has been developed on a restricted

single unbounded integer. Alternatively, we recently
proposed a model checker for integer-based systems that
uses Presburger constraints as the underlying state
representation. While this approach easily verified
some subtle, infinite-state concurrency problems, it
proved inefficient in its treatment of Boolean and
(unordered) enumerated types --- which possess no
natural mapping to the Euclidean coordinate space. In
this paper we describe a model checker which combines
the strengths of both approaches. We use a composite
model, in which a formula's valuations are encoded in a
mixed BDD-Presburger form, depending on the variables
used. We demonstrate our technique's effectiveness on a
nontrivial requirements specification, which includes a
mixture of Booleans, integers and enumerated types.",

abstract = "VeriSoft is a tool for systematically exploring the
state spaces of systems composed of several concurrent
processes executing arbitrary code written in
full-fledged programming languages such as C or C++.
The state space of a concurrent system is a directed
graph that represents the combined behavior of all
concurrent components in the system. By exploring its
state space, VeriSoft can automatically detect
coordination problems between the processes of a
concurrent system. We report in this paper our analysis
with VeriSoft of the ``Heart-Beat Monitor'' (HBM), a
telephone switching application developed at Lucent
Technologies. The HBM of a telephone switch determines
the status of different elements connected to the
switch by measuring propagation delays of messages
transmitted via these elements. This information plays
an important role in the routing of data in the switch,
and can significantly impact switch performance. We
discuss the steps of our analysis of the HBM using
VeriSoft. Because no modeling of the HBM code is
necessary with this tool, the total elapsed time before
being able to run the first tests was on the order of a
few hours, instead of several days or weeks that would
have been needed for the (error-prone) modeling phase
required with traditional model checkers or theorem
provers. We then present the results of our analysis.
Since VeriSoft automatically generates, executes and
evaluates thousands of tests per minute and has
complete control over nondeterminism, our analysis
revealed HBM behavior that is virtually impossible to
detect or test in a traditional lab-testing
environment. Specifically, we discovered flaws in the
existing documentation on this application and
unexpected behaviors in the software itself. These
results are being used as the basis for the redesign of
the HBM software in the next commercial release of the
switching software.",

relatively inexpensive analyses, to the RTS problem,
considering how the precision of RTS algorithms can be
affected by the type of coverage information collected.
We define a strong optimality condition
(edge-optimality) for RTS algorithms based on edge
coverage that precisely captures when such an algorithm
will report that re-testing is needed, when, in
actuality, it is not. We reformulate Rothermel and
Harrold's RTS algorithm and present three new
algorithms that improve on it, culminating in an
edge-optimal algorithm. Finally, we consider how path
coverage can be used to improve the precision of RTS

present a novel approach of automated regression test
generation in which all generated test cases uncover an

functionality of the original program and its modified
version, i.e., it is used for programs whose
functionality is unchanged after modifications. The
goal in this approach is to identify test cases for
which the original program and the modified program
produce different outputs. If such a test is found,
then this test uncovers an error. The problem of
finding such a test case may be reduced to the problem
of finding program input on which a selected statement
is executed. As a result, existing methods of automated
test data generation for white-box testing may be used
to generate these tests. Our experiments have shown
that our approach may improve the chances of finding
software errors as compared to the existing methods of
regression testing. The advantage of our approach is
that it is fully automated and that all generated test

the object body in our model is not used for the
concurrency control of objects, but only as a mechanism
to introduce concurrent executions into OO model.
Concurrency control is specified by the attributes of
objects and the control codes are generated by a
compiling system based on these attributes. In
addition, objects should be designed in such a way that
they can be used in both sequential and concurrent
environments, no matter whether they have a body or
not. In our model, several execution threads may
coexist in an object and some synchronization
mechanisms are provided to control the concurrent
executions of these threads. The paper presents two
examples of concurrent programming with our model.",

software engineering is not one of their 36 recognized

like: ``Is software development the same as software
engineering?'' ``If not, what is the difference?'' and
``What would it take for us to become software
engineers?''In January 1997, I received a copy of

abstract = "Developers use class hierarchies to model ``real
world'' objects and as metaphors to organize their
programs. We (the authors) believe that developers
intuitively understand the variety of everyday objects:
this cup, that water, those pencils, or in computer
terms, this number, that window, those records. We also
believe that developers approve of only one concept of
class hierarchy, one out of many possible concepts.
Many hidden assumptions lurk behind object-oriented
inheritance. Traditional object-oriented concepts of
hierarchy are obsessively top-down and ignore many
obvious bottom-up relationships. Authors who write
about object-oriented programming usually define class
hierarchies in traditional or archaic terms, referring
to the theory of Realism and ancient Greek philosophy.
But, just because somebody sees a similarity between
concepts in Smalltalk or C++ and concepts described by
Plato and other philosophers, does not mean that the
perception is appropriate. While the correspondences
between classes and concepts from philosophy are
interesting, they are not the only possible or useful
correspondences. In Women, Fire, and Dangerous Things
on page 6, Lakoff writes, ``In fact, until very
recently, the classical theory of categories was not
even thought of as a theory. It was taught in most
disciplines not as an empirical hypothesis but as an
unquestionable, definitional truth.''We want to change
that assumption and expand the possibilities of what
class hierarchies can be. Specifically, we introduce a
cognitive science perspective of objects and the basic
level of a class hierarchy. We believe that developers
use software classes in a middle-out manner, just like
people use linguistic categories. We believe that this
middle-out interpretation explains some of the limits
to modeling with traditional object-oriented
inheritance. We use the basic level to distinguish
between the type relationships within a class
hierarchy: above the basic level, developers use
runtime type relationships, and below the basic, level
developers use compile-time type relationships. We also
show that developers do program above the basic level.
This paper is organized as follows. In the first
section, we discuss class and hierarchy from a
cognitive science point of view. In the second section,
we define the basic level and describe a middle-out
concept of hierarchy. In the third section, we explain
the developer's version of basic level through the
example of ``feeding the animals'' and show how it
relates to type checking. We also describe some of the
techniques that developers use to program above the
basic level. And, in the fourth section, we argue that
many traditional concepts of inheritance fail above the
basic level. We argue that the subset and prototype
concepts of hierarchy do not work in general, and we
argue that Liskov's Substitution Principle and Meyer's
Open-Closed Principle only work below the basic
level.",

Traditionally, automated tools are used to assist
program understanding. However, the representations
constructed by these tools often require prohibitive

reduce these requirements. However, the use of pointers
in modern languages introduces additional problems that
do not integrate well with these techniques. We present
new techniques for effectively coping with pointers in
large software systems written in the C programming
language and use our techniques to implement a program
slicing tool. First, we use a fast, flow-insensitive,
points-to analysis before traditional data-flow
analysis. Second, we allow the user to parameterize the
points-to analysis so that the resulting program slices
more closely match the actual program behavior. Such
information cannot easily be obtained by the tool or
might otherwise be deemed unsafe. Finally, we present
data-flow equations for dealing with pointers to local
variables in recursive programs. These equations allow
the user to select an arbitrary amount of calling
context in order to better trade performance for
precision. To validate our techniques, we present
empirical results using our program slicer on large
programs. The results indicate that cost-effective
analysis of large programs with pointers is feasible

paper describes an algorithm for the automatic

most other such algorithms, which operate on programs,
derives invariants from requirements specifications.
Generating invariants from requirements specifications
rather than programs has two advantages: (1) because
requirements specifications, unlike programs, are at a
high level of abstraction, generation of and analysis
using such invariants is easier, and (2) using
invariants to detect errors during the requirements
phase is considerably more cost-effective than using
invariants later in software development. To illustrate
the algorithm, we use it to generate state invariants
from requirements specifications of an automobile
cruise control system and a simple control system for a
nuclear plant. The invariants are derived from
specifications expressed in the SCR (Software Cost

abstract = "The Personal Software Process (PSP) is used by
software engineers to gather and analyze data about
their work. Published studies typically use data
collected using the PSP to draw quantitative
conclusions about its impact upon programmer behavior
and product quality. However, our experience using PSP
in both industrial and academic settings revealed
problems both in collection of data and its later
analysis. We hypothesized that these two kinds of data
quality problems could make a significant impact upon
the value of PSP measures. To test this hypothesis, we
built a tool to automate the PSP and then examined 89
projects completed by ten subjects using the PSP
manually in an educational setting. We discovered 1539
primary errors and categorized them by type, subtype,
severity, and age. To examine the collection problem we
looked at the 90 errors that represented impossible
combinations of data and at other less concrete
anomalies in Time Recording Logs and Defect Recording
Logs. To examine the analysis problem we developed a
rule set, corrected the errors as far as possible, and
compared the original and corrected data. This resulted
in significant differences for measures such as yield
and the cost-performance ratio, confirming our
hypothesis. Our results raise questions about the
accuracy of manually collected and analyzed PSP data,
indicate that integrated tool support may be required
for high quality PSP data analysis, and suggest that
external measures should be used when attempting to
evaluate the impact of the PSP upon programmer behavior
and product quality.",

fault-detecting ability of two white-box software
testing techniques: decision coverage (branch testing)
and the all-uses data flow testing criterion. Each
subject program was tested using a very large number of
randomly generated test sets. For each test set, the
extent to which it satisfied the given testing
criterion was measured and it was determined whether or
not the test set detected a program fault. These data
were used to explore the relationship between the
coverage achieved by test sets and the likelihood that
they will detect a fault. Previous experiments of this
nature have used relatively small subject programs
and/or have used programs with seeded faults. In
contrast, the subjects used here were eight versions of
an antenna configuration program written for the
European Space Agency, each consisting of over 10,000
lines of C code. For each of the subject programs
studied, the likelihood of detecting a fault increased
sharply as very high coverage levels were reached.
Thus, this data supports the belief that these testing
techniques can be more effective than random testing.
However, the magnitudes of the increases were rather
inconsistent and it was difficult to achieve high
coverage levels.",

that this flattening can be avoided. We develop

reveals a software engineering challenge that is common

other, and how the three processes should be organized

standard architecture for crafting mobile code

architecture modularizes the verification process and
isolates the dependencies among the loader, verifier,
and linker. We also formalize the process of proof
linking and establish properties to which correct
implementations must conform. As an example, we
instantiate our architecture for the problem of Java
bytecode verification and assess the correctness of

abstract = "An important problem that arises in path oriented
testing is the generation of test data that causes a
program to follow a given path. In this paper, we
present a novel program execution based approach using
an iterative relaxation method to address the above
problem. In this method, test data generation is
initiated with an arbitrarily chosen input from a given
domain. This input is then iteratively refined to
obtain an input on which all the branch predicates on
the given path evaluate to the desired outcome. In each
iteration the program statements relevant to the
evaluation of each branch predicate on the path are
executed, and a set of linear constraints is derived.
The constraints are then solved to obtain the
increments for the input. These increments are added to
the current input to obtain the input for the next
iteration. The relaxation technique used in deriving
the constraints provides feedback on the amount by
which each input variable should be adjusted for the
branches on the path to evaluate to the desired
outcome. When the branch conditions on a path are
linear functions of input variables, our technique
either finds a solution for such paths in one iteration
or it guarantees that the path is infeasible. In
contrast, existing execution based approaches may
require an unacceptably large number of iterations for
relatively long paths because they consider only one
input variable and one branch predicate at a time and
use backtracking. When the branch conditions on a path
are nonlinear functions of input variables, though it
may take more then one iteration to derive a desired
input, the set of constraints to be solved in each
iteration is linear and is solved using Gaussian
elimination. This makes our technique practical and
suitable for automation.",

Everyone seems to have been surprised by the stickiness

reports have confirmed that the software tar pit is at
least as hazardous today as it was in 1975. Our
research into several classes of models used to guide
software development (product models, process models,
property models, success models), has convinced us that
the concept of model clashes among these classes of
models helps explain much of the stickiness of the
software tar-pit problem. We have been developing and
experimentally evolving an approach called MBASE ---
Model-Based (System) Architecting and Software
Engineering --- which helps identify and avoid software
model clashes. Section 2 of this paper introduces the
concept of model clashes, and provides examples of
common clashes for each combination of product,
process, property, and success model. Sections 3 and 4
introduce the MBASE approach for endowing a software
project with a mutually supportive set of models, and
illustrate the application of MBASE to an example
corporate resource scheduling system. Section 5

distinguish between an external view of a process that
is visible outside the organisation and its internal
details. Their interfaces are generally aimed at the
internal user. This is a problem if one organisation
(provider) wants to perform a process on behalf of
another (requester) so that it can be initiated and
accessed by the requester through an automated
interface and, vice versa, that the results can be
reported back. This issue gains importance as WfMS are
in widespread use today and the trend to outsource
non-core business leads to increased service activity
between companies. Organisations do not want to make
internal information generally available to business
partners nor do they wish to restrict their ability to
conduct business internally. If organisations enter a
business relationship, they define in an agreement the
circumstances in which the requester might initiate a
process in the provider and exchange further
information during the process's performance. This
paper describes the Virtual Enterprise Co-ordinator
(VEC), a concept for the setup and management of
gateways to WfMS-enacted processes for outside
organisations on the basis of simple agreements. Using
VEC, organisations can provide external partners with a
controlled way of accessing WfMS-enacted processes,

introduced for specifying a wide range of
decision-making activities including, in particular,
workflows. In Vortex workflows are specified
declaratively. A particular emphasis is on
``object-focused'' workflows, i.e., workflows focused
on how individual input objects should be processed
within an organization. Such workflows arise commonly
in practice, including insurance claims processing, and
many electronic commerce applications, and in the area
of Customer Care, e.g., web-based storefronts. Vortex
workflows are ``attribute-centric'', because they are
centered around how the attribute values for an input
object are gathered and computed. Initially, only a few
attributes of an input object have assigned values.
During processing of the object, additional attribute
values may be assigned by external modules, or by
internal modules, including ``decision modules''.
Decision modules include ``attribute rules'' that
specify contributions to specific attribute values;
these are combined with one of a broad family of
available semantics. In Vortex, enabling conditions are
used to determine what attributes should be evaluated.
A novel choice-based execution model provides a general
framework for optimization strategies. The use of
enabling conditions, attribute rules and declarative
semantics makes Vortex workflows easier to modify and
refine than traditional, procedurally specified
workflows. Vortex supports modularity and permits the
natural intermixing of Vortex workflows with
traditional, procedural workflows. The paper introduces
a novel spreadsheet-like interface for dynamic browsing
of Vortex executions.",

network-based, distributed environments like text-based
MUDs and MOOs for supporting collaborative work. Such
environments offer a shared virtual world in which
interactions can take place irrespective of the actual
physical proximity or distance of interactants.
Although these environments have proven successful
within social, recreational and educational domains,
few data have been reported concerning use of such
systems in the workplace. In this paper we summarize
in-depth interviews with 8 MUDders from a software
research and development community where a MUD has been
operational and actively used for a number of years.
The interviews suggest that the MUD fills a valuable
communication niche for this workgroup, being used both
synchronously and asynchronously to enable the
establishment of new contacts and the maintenance of
existing contacts. These observations are discussed in
the context of the organization under study.",

fundamental to solving many difficult problems in

representations are actually used in key collaborative

examined all of the spoken representations of software
behavior in 9 domain analysis sessions. It found that
about 70\% of them were metaphorical, representing
system behavior as physical movement of objects, as
perceptual processes, or in anthropomorphic terms
ascribing beliefs and desires to the system. The
pattern of use of these representations indicates (1)
that they were not merely temporary placeholders, but
rather their use persisted even when a specialized and
more formal vocabulary had been developed, and (2) the
metaphoric descriptions appear to reflect actual use of
metaphor, rather than just a choice of vocabulary. The
use of metaphor is explained in terms of how well they
serve human cognitive abilities and collaborative
needs. The predominance of metaphorical representations
in synchronous collaborative sessions raises important
issues about the possible misleading effects of
metaphorical thinking. It also raises questions about
the compatibility of the spoken representations with
other representations (e.g., diagrams, specification

on the part of users (many of them occasional users)
about the market and intrinsic value of informational

remedied with the introduction of recognizable
currencies, which do not have to be of monetary nature,
and the situation can be further improved with
intermediation. We conclude that ``virtual

far on modeling and enacting processes. A certain
amount of work has been done, but little has reached a
satisfactory level of maturity and acceptance. In our
opinion, this is due to the difficulty for a system to
accommodate the very numerous aspects involved in
software processes. A complete process support should
cover topics ranging from low level tasks (like
compiling) to organizational and strategic tasks. This
includes process enhancement, resource management and
control, cooperative work, etc. The environment must
also be convenient for software engineers, team
leaders, managers and so on; it must be able to
describe details for efficient execution, and be high
level for capturing, understanding, etc. As a matter of
fact, the few tools that have reached sufficient
maturity have focussed on a single topic and addressed
a single class of users. It is our claim that no single
system can provide a satisfactory solution except in a
clearly defined subdomain. Thus we shifted our
attention from finding the universal system to finding
ways to make many different systems cooperate with
their associated formalisms and process engines. This
paper presents a novel approach for software process
support environments based on a federation of
heterogeneous and autonomous components. The approach
has been implemented and experimented in the APEL

users to be aware of peer activities. Common approaches
involve broadcasting events generated as a result of a
particular user's actions at the interface to others.
Rather than flooding users with information about all
activities occurring in the shared environment,
filtration techniques allow each user to be exposed to
relevant awareness information. Such techniques are
often based on user configurable agents. Unfortunately,
these so far do not support satisfactorily the
improvisational nature of collaborative activities.
This is because user configuration is effective mainly
in cases where interactions can be anticipated and
where configuration plans can be drawn. It is also
difficult for a configurable agent to capture the
diversity and the complex interrelationships between
collaborative activities. In highly dynamic
collaborative environments, the need to synchronise
configurations with rapidly evolving needs imposes a
heavy task load on participants. In Moksha, our
prototypical multi-user desktop, this problem is
addressed by extending the desktop metaphor and
automating the filtration control process so that it
becomes ubiquitous to the user. The cross-client
linkage of the desktop interface elements, the use of

spoken conversations. The usual explanation for this is
that people who are not physically copresent become
depersonalized and less inhibited by social norms.
While this explanation is intuitively appealing, we
consider another possibility, based on the costs of
producing ``polite'' utterances when speaking versus
when typing. We examined a corpus of conversations
generated by 26 three-person groups who interacted
either face-to-face or electronically to do a
collaborative memory task. We coded hedges (which mark
an utterance as provisional) and questions (which
display doubt or invite input from others), as people
presented their own recollections, accepted, modified,
or rejected those of others, and tried to reach
consensus. Both of these devices are associated with
politeness. For most people, hedging is more difficult
when typing than when speaking because additional words
are required, while marking an utterance as a question
is equally easy in both media. The two groups made
somewhat different use of these devices: Face-to-face
groups hedged more than electronic groups, but both
groups used questions just as often. We discuss how
these and other differences emerge from the costs and
affordances of communication media.",

abstract = "In this paper, we describe and compare techniques that
implement multiple downcasting in strongly-typed
languages. We conclude that multimethods stand out as
the single best technique. In the first section, we
describe seven commonly used techniques. In the second
section, we compare these seven techniques using ten
criteria. And, in the third section, we comment on some
additional techniques. Multiple downcasting occurs so
often that developers use a variety of terms to
describe it, and a variety of language constructs and
patterns to implement it. ``Feed the animals,''
``driver-vehicle,'' and ``parallel hierarchies'' are
well-known examples that require multiple downcasting.
``Multiple type dispatch'' and ``covariant
subclassing'' identify different facets of multiple
downcasting. ``Dynamic type casting,'' ``typecase
statements,'' and the ``visitor pattern'' are
frequently used to implement multiple downcasting. We
believe that multiple downcasting is not a mistake or
the result of poor program design, rather multiple
downcasting is a specific technique that implements a
specific kind of application semantics. In the animal
hierarchy shown in Figure 1, cows eat grass, wolves eat
meat, and in the superclass, animals eat food. The
generalization that animals eat food is imprecise: it
ignores the facts that cows only eat grass and wolves
only eat meat. So, how should developers write a
function to safely ``feed the animals'' without getting
the types mixed up? In Program 1, we show how a
developer might like to ``feed the animals'' in C++.
The {\tt feed\_unsafely} function may fail, while the
{\tt feed\_safely} function works properly for all
combinations of foods and animals. The animal hierarchy
will not compile in C++, because the eat method is
covariant. In this paper, we elaborate ideas and
examples from A Middle-Out Concept of Hierarchy. We
adapted the ``feed the animals'' example from Are Cows
Animals? by Shang.",

the Cobol language is the perform statement. Normally,
perform statements are used in a straightforward manner
to define parameterless procedures (where global
variables are used to pass data into and out of

constructs, distinct performed procedures can share
code in arbitrarily complicated ways. In addition,
performs can also be used in such a way as to cause
transfers of control that do not correspond to normal
call/return semantics. In this paper, we show how a
Cobol program can be efficiently transformed into a
semantically-equivalent procedurally well-structured
representation, in which conventional procedures (i.e.,
with the usual call and return semantics and without
code sharing) and procedure call statements replace
performed code and perform statements. This
transformation process properly accounts for the
non-procedural control flow that can result from
ill-behaved perform statements. The program
representation derived from our analysis can be used
directly in program understanding applications, program
restructuring tools, and inter-language translators. In
addition, it can be used as the starting point for a

identifies equivalence relations among the memory

needs to compute the data-flow information only for a

The data-flow information for other memory locations in

limited by the presence of type conversions using type
casts. Because the C standard allows arbitrary type
conversions between pointer types, neither C compilers,
nor tools such as lint, can guarantee type safety in
the presence of such type conversions. In particular,
by using casts involving pointers to structures (C
structs), a programmer can interpret any memory region
to be of any desired type, further compromising C's
weak type system. Not only do type casts make a program
vulnerable to type errors, they hinder program
comprehension and maintenance by creating latent
dependencies between seemingly independent pieces of
code. To address these problems, we have developed a
stronger form of type checking for C programs, called
physical type checking. Physical type checking takes
into account the layout of C struct fields in memory.
This paper describes an inference-based physical type
checking algorithm. Our algorithm can be used to
perform static safety checks, as well as compute useful
information for software engineering applications.",

abstract = "We are currently developing a methodological framework
for reverse engineering Fortran77 programs used by
Electricit{\'e} de France, in which the first step is
the construction of an algebraic specification which
faithfully represents the Fortran code. To construct
this specification, we must decide on a coherent set of
``profiles'' (type signatures) for the specifications
of the Fortran sub-programs. We propose an analysis of
the dynamic aliases between formal and actual
sub-program arguments in order to derive these
profiles. In many examples of real Fortran code this
analysis does not give satisfactory results if arrays
are treated as indivisible. Instead, we must take into
account which fragment of the array may really be
accessed by the sub-program. We have therefore
implemented our analysis as an extension of the PIPS
code parallelisation tool, which provides us with a
precise analysis of inter-procedural array data-flow.",

relies on an outlining model that conceptually describe
units of code according to the computations they

our model and our system are restricted to loops.QBO is
a prototype tool that implements the query by outline
paradigm. It proposes to browse the loops of a program
directly through their outline, and allows to restrict
these loops to browse with queries expressed as
constraints on the outlines. Thus it enables to answer
questions such as ``where is this variable modified?'',
``where is this kind of computation performed?'', or
``are there many places where this computation is
performed?''. In this paper, we sketch our outlining

(Software Cost Reduction) requirements method, have
been proposed for improving the quality of software
specifications. Although improved specifications are
valuable, the ultimate objective of software
development is to produce software that satisfies its
requirements. To evaluate the correctness of a software
implementation, one can apply black-box testing to
determine whether the implementation, given a sequence
of system inputs, produces the correct system outputs.
This paper describes a specification-based method for
constructing a suite of test sequences, where a test
sequence is a sequence of inputs and outputs for
testing a software implementation. The test sequences
are derived from a tabular SCR requirements
specification containing diverse data types, i.e.,
integer, boolean, and enumerated types. From the
functions defined in the SCR specification, the method
forms a collection of predicates called branches, which
``cover'' all possible software behaviors described by
the specification. Based on these predicates, the
method then derives a suite of test sequences by using
a model checker's ability to construct counterexamples.
The paper presents the results of applying our method
to four specifications, including a sizable component
of a contractor specification of a real system.",

have successfully addressed issues in inspection and
verification; however, results in the areas of
execution and simulation of specifications have not
made as large an impact as desired. In this paper we
present an approach to specification-based prototyping
which addresses this issue. It combines the advantages
of rigorous formal specifications and rapid systems
prototyping. The approach lets us refine a formal
executable model of the system requirements to a
detailed model of the software requirements. Throughout
this refinement process, the specification is used as a
prototype of the proposed software. Thus, we guarantee
that the formal specification of the system is always
consistent with the observed behavior of the prototype.
The approach is supported with the NIMBUS environment,
a framework that allows the formal specification to
execute while interacting with software models of its
embedding environment or even the physical environment
itself (hardware-in-the-loop simulation).",

casts provide great flexibility in writing programs,
their use obscures the meaning of programs, and can
present obstacles during maintenance. Casts involving
pointers to structures (C structs) are particularly
problematic, because by using them, a programmer can
interpret any memory region to be of any desired type,
thereby compromising C's already weak type system. This
paper presents an approach for making sense of such
casts, in terms of understanding their purpose and
identifying fragile code. We base our approach on the
observation that casts are often used to simulate
object-oriented language features not supported
directly in C. We first describe a variety of ways ---
idioms --- in which this is done in C programs. We then
develop a notion of physical subtyping, which provides
a model that explains these idioms. We have created
tools that automatically analyze casts appearing in C
programs. Experimental evidence collected by using
these tools on a large amount of C code (over a million
lines) shows that, of the casts involving struct types,
most (over 90\%) can be associated meaningfully --- and
automatically --- with physical subtyping. Our results
indicate that the idea of physical subtyping is useful
in coping with casts and can lead to valuable software
productivity tools.",

almost as precise as that computed by Andersen's

efficient flow- and context-insensitive algorithm. Our
empirical studies show that our algorithm scales to
large programs better than Andersen's algorithm and
show that flow-insensitive alias analysis algorithms,
such as our algorithm and Andersen's algorithm, can
compute alias information that is close in precision to
that computed by the more expensive flow- and

generates coverage conditions from a program's ADL

determines which of these conditions are covered by the
tests. An uncovered condition exhibits aspects of the
specification inadequately exercised during testing.
The tester uses this information to develop new test
data to exercise the uncovered conditions. We provide
an overview of SST's specification-based test criteria
and describe the design and implementation of ADLscope.
Specification-based testing is guided by a
specification, whereby the testing activity is directly
related to what a component under test is supposed to
do, rather than what it actually does.
Specification-based testing is a significant advance in
testing, because it is often more straightforward to
accomplish and it can reveal failures that are often
missed by traditional code-based testing techniques. As
an initial evaluation of the capabilities of
specification-based testing, we conducted an experiment

solved by means of techniques and tools adapted to the
technology of the interface devices. Construction of a
CIP model starts from the behaviour of the processes of

To address these problems, we propose a uniform
algebraic approach with the following characteristics.
Components are written in a high-level program design
language with the usual notion of state. The approach
combines two existing frameworks --- one to specify
architectures, the other to rewrite labelled graphs ---
just through small additions to either of them. It
deals with certain typical problems such as
guaranteeing that new components are introduced in the
correct state (possibly transferred from the old
components they replace). It shows the relationships
between reconfigurations and computations while keeping
them separate, because the approach provides a
semantics to a given architecture through the algebraic
construction of an equivalent program, whose
computations can be mirrored at the architectural
level.",

components is a very attractive vision. Distributed
Component Platforms (DCP) and their visual development
environments bring this vision closer to reality than
ever. At the same time, some experiences with component
libraries warn us about potential problems that arise
in case of software system families or systems that
evolve over many years of changes. Indeed,
implementation level components, when affected by many
independent changes, tend to grow in both size and
number, impeding reuse. In this paper, we analyze in
detail this effect and propose a program construction
environment, based on generative techniques, to help in
customization and evolution of component-based systems.
This solution allows us to reap benefits of DCPs during
runtime and, at the same time, keep components under
control during system construction and evolution. In
the paper, we describe such a construction environment
for component-based systems that we built with a
commercial generator and illustrate its features with
examples from our domain engineering project. The main
lesson learnt from our project is that generative
techniques can extend the strengths of the
component-based approach in two important ways:
Firstly, generative techniques automate routine
component customization and composition tasks and allow
developers work more productively, at a higher
abstraction level. Secondly, as custom components with
required properties are generated on demand, we do not
need to store and manage multiple versions of
components, components do not overly grow in size,
helping developers keep the complexity of an evolving

abstract = "The use of smart cards to run software modules on
demand has become a major business concern for
application issuers. Such down-loadable executable
content needs to be trusted by the card execution
environment in order to ensure that an instruction on a
memory area is compliant with the definition of the
data stored in this area (i.e. its type). Current
solutions for smart cards rely on three techniques. For
Java Card, either an off-card verifier-converter
performs a static verification of type-safety, or a
defensive virtual machine performs the verification at
runtime. For other types of open smart cards, no
type-checking is carried out and the trust is only
based on the containment of applications. Static
verification is more efficient and flexible than
dynamic techniques. Nevertheless, as the Java verifier
cannot fit into a card, the trust is dependent on an
external third-party. In this way, the card security
has been partly turned to the outside. We propose and
describe the FACADE language for which the type-safety
verification can be performed statically on-card.",

real-time distributed systems for complex timing
requirements. We focus our analysis on designs which
adhere to the hypothesis of analytical theory for
Fixed-Priority scheduling. Unlike previous formal
approaches, we draw from that theory and build small
formal models (based on Timed Automata) to be analyzed
by means of model checking tools. We are thus
integrating scheduling analysis into the framework of
automatic formal verification.",

abstract = "The liveness characteristics of a system are
intimately related to the notion of fairness. However,
the task of explicitly modelling fairness constraints
is complicated in practice. To address this issue, we
propose to check LTS (Labelled Transition System)
models under a strong fairness assumption, which can be
relaxed with the use of action priority. The
combination of the two provides a novel and practical
way of dealing with fairness. The approach is presented
in the context of a class of liveness properties termed
progress, for which it yields an efficient
model-checking algorithm. Progress properties cover a
wide range of interesting properties of systems, while
presenting a clear intuitive meaning to users.",
