A Case Tool For Code Inspection, Siti Hajar Alias Jan 2002

A Case Tool For Code Inspection, Siti Hajar Alias

Student Works (2000-2009)

Generally, quality and productivity play important roles in every software development life cycle. However, when discussing about quality and productivity, another function that synonym to distinguish these features is software inspection. Software inspection is generally accepted as a useful technique for finding errors in both documents and codes. There are several phases in software inspection and one of it is defect detection phase. This dissertation is to review the role of defect detection phases involved in the software inspection process. Thus, for this project, it focuses on the development of a prototype CASE tool for code inspection called CodeIns. CodeIns …

Control Application For Client Server/Based: Interactive Puzzle Game, Francis Evelyn

Student Works (2000-2009)

IPG is a web-enabled application developed through client/server based architecture. Client/server architecture can be define as a design approach that divides the functional processing of an application and distributes it across two or more processing platforms. IPG is design in fulfillment of the client/server environment, which provides the infrastructure of such as middleware, networks, operating systems, hardware that supports the current distributed applications. IPG gives the interactive utility that enables concurrent users in the networked computing. This application supports the gaming features such as winning, loss, and draw, create a new game and many else. IPG also acts and tries …

Development Of A Reusable Object Oriented Application Framework For Library Systems Domain, Roy Teck Choye Chew Jan 2000

Development Of A Reusable Object Oriented Application Framework For Library Systems Domain, Roy Teck Choye Chew

Student Works (2000-2009)

The main goal of developing an application framework on an application domain or a business domain is to facilitate development of application systems within the same domain by reusing components through customisation and not from scratch. These components would have to be analysed and designed with reusable features so that they can be reused to develop different applications in the related domain. In the case of an object-oriented application framework in the technical view, it is made up of a set of interrelated abstract (generic) and concrete classes that underlie the components of a domain model and form the domain …

On The Interaction Of Object-Oriented Design Patterns And Programming Languages, Gerald Baumgartner, Konstantin Läufer, Vincent F. Russo Feb 1996

On The Interaction Of Object-Oriented Design Patterns And Programming Languages, Gerald Baumgartner, Konstantin Läufer, Vincent F. Russo

Computer Science: Faculty Publications and Other Works

Design patterns are distilled from many real systems to catalog common programming practice. However, some object-oriented design patterns are distorted or overly complicated because of the lack of supporting programming language constructs or mechanisms. For this paper, we have analyzed several published design patterns looking for idiomatic ways of working around constraints of the implementation language. From this analysis, we lay a groundwork of general-purpose language constructs and mechanisms that, if provided by a statically typed, object-oriented language, would better support the implementation of design patterns and, transitively, benefit the construction of many real systems. In particular, our catalog of …


Exploiting High Performance Fortran For Computational Fluid Dynamics, Volume 919, Ken Hawick, Geoffrey C. Fox Jan 1995

Exploiting High Performance Fortran For Computational Fluid Dynamics, Volume 919, Ken Hawick, Geoffrey C. Fox

Northeast Parallel Architecture Center

We discuss the High Performance Fortran data parallel programming language as an aid to software engineering and as a tool for exploiting High Performance Computing systems for computational uid dynamics applications. We discuss the use of intrinsic functions, data distribution directives and explicitly parallel constructs to optimize performance by minimizing communications requirements in a portable manner. In particular we use an implicit method such as the ADI algorithm to illustrate the major issues. We focus on regular mesh problems, since these can be efficiently represented by the existing HPF definition, but also discuss issues arising from the use of irregular …


A Semantic Framework For Understanding The Behavior Of Modules And Classes In Programming Languages, Mahesh Dodani, Benjamin Kok Siew Gan Jan 1994

A Semantic Framework For Understanding The Behavior Of Modules And Classes In Programming Languages, Mahesh Dodani, Benjamin Kok Siew Gan

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Recent trends in programming language design and implementation are aimed at integrating the two most important constructs to combat complexity: modules and classes. Both constructs provide encapsulation, a cornerstone of reliable programming. These constructs differ in their approach to building hierarchies: modules define visibility of components while classes define visibility of functionality. How can modules and classes be effectively integrated within a simple programming language? This question captures the essence of developing semantics of these constructs to ensure that they interact in a meaningful way. This paper develops a formal denotational semantic framework for understanding the interaction between classes and …


Applying Metrics To Rule-Based Systems, Paul Doyle, Renaat Verbruggen Jan 1992

Applying Metrics To Rule-Based Systems, Paul Doyle, Renaat Verbruggen

Other

Since the introduction of software measurement theory in the early seventies it has been accepted that in order to control software it must first be measured. Unambiguous and reproducible measurements are considered to be the most useful in controlling software productivity, costs and quality, and diverse sets of measurements are required to cover all aspects of software. This paper focuses on measures for rule-based language systems and also describes a process for developing measures for other non-standard 3GL development tools. This paper uses KEL as an example and the method allows the re-use of existing measures and indicates if and …


Automatically Generating Functional Tests From Specifications - A Knowledge Based Constraint Logical Programming Approach, Ji Chen Jan 1989

Automatically Generating Functional Tests From Specifications - A Knowledge Based Constraint Logical Programming Approach, Ji Chen

Computer Science Theses & Dissertations

Recent experimental results indicate that functional testing is one of the most effective methods in detecting certain classes of faults. Very little work has been done in automating functional testing. This thesis research develops a method, called hierarchical partition, for automating functional testing. The key to our approach is the utilization of a pre-existing knowledge base about the domain of discourse. Several approaches to knowledge organiza­tion are discussed along with the resulting effects on the quantity and quality of functional tests produced. This research is an application and development of Generic Constraint Logic Programming and the Knowledge Driven …


Generic Specifications In Lil And In Ada Via Analogies, George Chester Harrison May 1986

Generic Specifications In Lil And In Ada Via Analogies, George Chester Harrison

Computer Science Theses & Dissertations

We address the problem of .making verifiable specifications in generic program units in the Ada Programming Language*. We illustrate the methodologies of LIL proposed by Joseph Goguen and Justify the use of such a specification languages using analogy programming originally proposed by Nachum Dershowitz. The work in these areas is new and noticeably incomplete. We address our concern about the reusability of Ada software in a programming environment that includes a specification language like LIL. * Ada is a registered trademark of the U.S. Government (Ada Joint Program Office)
