MsC Dissertation - A Traceability Technique for Change Impact Analysis from Business Concerns
(0)Publicado em December 25th, 2009NewsAntonio Oliveira Filho presented his Master dissertation - A Traceability Technique for Change Impact Analysis from Business Concerns (Uma Técnica de Rastreabilidade para Análise de Impacto de Mudanças em Interesses de Negócio), on 07/January/2010, at Unifacs.
Antonio’s research has been developed at the Mestrado em Sistemas e Computaçāo, UNIFACS, under the supervision of Prof. Christina Chavez (UFBA). This MsC dissertation is one of the results of the INES research project Models, Techniques and Tools for Software Evolution (Modelos, Técnicas e Ferramentas para Evolução de Software).
Abstract:Business concerns, business rules, impact analysis, Software requirements, traceabilityImpact analysis is the identification of the potential consequences of a change, or estimating what needs to be modified to accomplish a change, including related costs and schedule estimates.
In this work, we distinguish between two kinds of concerns related to impact analysis: (1) business-specific concerns, those related to stakeholders interested in checking if other business rules are impacted by the change and also need to be modified; and (2) software-specific concerns, those related to stakeholders interested in the impacted software artifacts that need to be modified. Several traceability techniques have been studied and none of them supported impact analysis that dealt with business-specific concerns with reasonable values of precision and recall for the discovered impacts.
Our research work aims to support business-specific concerns during impact analysis, by proposing and evaluating a traceability technique that resorts on a new traceability model defined over business rules, with expected precision and recall values of 100%.

Title: Network Models for Class Dependency Networks in Software
Abstract: Software clustering algorithms can automatically decompose a software system into modules by analyzing the network of dependencies between its components (e.g., classes in object-oriented systems). Empirical evaluation of these algorithms is difficult because few software systems have reference decompositions to be compared with the decompositions found by the algorithms. Alternatively, the algorithms can be evaluated by applying them on computer-generated networks with built-in decompositions, but the validity of this approach depends on the similarity between real and computer-generated networks. In this paper we present three network models and show that, with a proper choice of parameters, they can generate networks that are indistinguishable from class dependency networks.

INES tem artigo no ACM SAC 2010
(0)Publicado em December 3rd, 2009News, PublicationsO artigo Hybrid Evolutionary Quantum Inspired Method to Adjust Time Phase Distortions in Financial Time Series foi aceito para publicação e apresentação no 25th ACM Symposium On Applied Computing (ACM SAC´2010, http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2010/). A conferência acontecerá em março de 2010, em Sierre, Suiça.
O artigo propõe um novo método para problemas de previsão de séries temporais e regressão. O novo método desenvolvido foi aplicado com sucesso em séries temporais e está sendo adaptado para o problema de estimativa de esforço em projetos de software. O artigo está relacionado a uma das metas do projeto “Estimativa de esforço de projeto de software com técnicas de inteligência computacional e estatística“, coordenado pela UFRPE.
