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.",

research areas in testing. These include fault-based
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
data for structural load testing of the program.",

the execution of the selected statement may require
prior execution of some other statements that may be
part of some procedures. The existing methods use only
control flow information of a program during the search
process and may not efficiently generate test data for
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
statements (or procedures) that affect the execution of
the selected statement and this information is used to
guide the search process. The initial experiments have
