Mobile Software Engineering as a separate research field has been relevant to speeding up Software Engineering research in the area of mobile devices and applications. However, the existence of Mobile Software Engineering as a separate research field is ...

Variability is a key factor of most systems. While there are many works covering variability in functionality, there is a research gap regarding variability in software qualities. There is an obvious imbalance between the importance of variability in ...

In this paper, we describe how combinatorial testing can be applied to re-architecture Contiki and Cooja regression test suites. Contiki is the popular and widely accepted internet of things operating system. Combinatorial testing was pioneered by ...

Software as a service has evolved as a new software deployment paradigm in the cloud, which offers information technology services dynamically, "on-demand". Application Multi-tenancy in SaaS leads to improved resource utilization and reduces overall ...

Component-based systems are based on the idea of assembling lots of independent and pre-defined components based on discriminating designs. Component-based systems provide a better reuse of software components along with flexibility, scalability and ...

As access to the Internet becomes more ubiquitous, software applications and services are increasingly being deployed in the cloud. While this approach has revolutionized software and delivered great efficiencies for users and application developers, it ...

Architects of complex software systems face the challenge of how best to assess the achievement of quality attributes and other key drivers, how to reveal issues and risks early, and how to make decisions about architecture improvement. Software ...

Variability in a software system is reflected in and facilitated through the architecture of that system. The Third International Workshop on Variability in Software Architecture (VARSA) was held in conjunction with the 11th Working IEEE/IFIP Conference ...

The 2013 IEEE 7th International Symposium on the Maintenance and Evolution of Service-Oriented and Cloud-Based Systems (MESOCA 2013) took place in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, on September 24, 2013, as a co-located event of the 29th IEEE International ...

Software product line engineering and service-oriented architectures both enable organizations to capitalize on reuse of existing software assets and capabilities and improve competitive advantage in terms of development savings, product flexibility, ...

Patterns play an important role in architecture. Plenty of patterns exist but remain undiscovered. Many of the patterns used in different fields are knowingly or unknowingly used in the field of software architecture. This technical paper briefly ...

The 2013 1st International Workshop on Engineering Mobile-Enabled Systems (MOBS 2013) was held in conjunction with the 35th International Conference on Software Engineering, ICSE 2013, on May 25, 2013 in San Francisco, CA USA. MOBS 2013 brought together ...

Software systems continuously evolve as a consequence of frequent changes in their functional requirements and the environment surrounding them. Architecture-centric software evolution (ACSE) enables changes in software structure and behaviour while ...

Research and development in Natural Language Processing (NLP) has made significant progress over the last decade. Many robust NLP systems have been developed for handling machine translation, question-answering, summarization, topic detection, cluster ...

The 2012 IEEE 6th International Workshop on the Maintenance and Evolution of Service-Oriented and Cloud-Based Systems (MESOCA 2012) was held as a co-located event of the International Conference on Software Maintenance, ICSM 2012, on September 24, 2012. ...

Variability (the ability of a software system or software artifact to be adapted for use in a specific context) is reflected in and facilitated through the software architecture. The Second International Workshop on Variability in Software Architecture (...

The 4th International Workshop on Principles of Engineering Service-Oriented Systems (PESOS 2012) was held at the International Conference on Software Engineering, ICSE 2012, on June 4, 2012. The special theme of this 4th edition of PESOS was "The ...
