Impersonating Chatbots in a Code Review Exercise to Teach Software Engineering Best Practices

Denis Gillet, Maria Jesus Rodriguez Triana, Juan Carlos Farah, Sandy Ingram, Vandit Sharma

Over the past decade, the use of chatbots for educational purposes has gained considerable traction. A similar trend has been observed in social coding platforms, where automated agents support software developers with tasks such as performing code reviews ...

Macromolecular modeling and design in Rosetta: recent methods and frameworks

Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, Patrick Daniel Barth, Andreas Scheck, Jaume Bonet Martinez, Hamed Khakzad, Alisa Khramushin, Thomas Huber, Lei Shi

The Rosetta software for macromolecular modeling, docking and design is extensively used in laboratories worldwide. During two decades of development by a community of laboratories at more than 60 institutions, Rosetta has been continuously refactored and ...

Global Flux-Driven Simulations of Ion Temperature-Gradient and Trapped-Electron Modes Driven Turbulence with an Improved Multithreaded Gyrokinetic PIC Code

Emmanuel Lanti

Performance of tokamak fusion plasmas is heavily linked to the radial heat and particle transport, which is known to be mainly produced by turbulence driven by micro-instabilities. Understanding such processes is thus of key importance for the design and o ...

Integrated ESOP Refactoring for Industrial Designs

Giovanni De Micheli, Mathias Soeken, Luca Gaetano Amarù, Winston Jason Haaswijk

We present a multi-level logic refactoring algorithm based on exclusive sum-of-product (ESOP) expressions. ESOP expressions are two-level logic representation forms, similar to sum of -product (SOP) expressions. However, ESOPs use EXOR instead of OR operat ...

Unifying Analytic and Statically-Typed Quasiquotes

Christoph Koch, Amir Shaikhha, Lionel Emile Vincent Parreaux

Metaprograms are programs that manipulate (generate, analyze and evaluate) other programs. These tasks are greatly facilitated by quasiquotation, a technique to construct and deconstruct program fragments using quoted code templates expressed in the syntax ...

Code and its image: the functions of text and visualisation in a code-based design studio

Jeffrey Huang, Mark Meagher, Guillaume Labelle, Nathaniel Zuelzke, Trevor Patt

Traditionally, design learning in the architecture studio has taken place through a combination of individual work and joint projects. The introduction of code-based design practices in the design studio has altered this balance, introducing new models of ...

Spiral in Scala: Towards the Systematic Construction of Generators for Performance Libraries

Martin Odersky, Tiark Rompf, Alen Stojanov

Program generators for high performance libraries are an appealing solution to the recurring problem of porting and optimizing code with every new processor generation, but only few such generators exist to date. This is due to not only the difficulty of t ...

Object Duplicate Detection

Péter Vajda

With the technological evolution of digital acquisition and storage technologies, millions of images and video sequences are captured every day and shared in online services. One way of exploring this huge volume of images and videos is through searching a ...

Model refactoring using transformations

Slavisa Markovic

Modern software is reaching levels of complexity encountered in biological systems; sometimes comprising systems of systems each of which may include tens of millions of lines of code. Model Driven Engineering (MDE) advocates raising the level of abstracti ...

Deprogramming Large Software Systems

George Candea, Yohann Coppel

Developers turn ideas, designs and patterns into source code, then compile the source code into executables. Decompiling turns executables back into source code, and deprogramming turns code back into designs and patterns. In this paper we introduce DeP, a ...

Synchronizing Refactored UML Class Diagrams and OCL Constraints

Slavisa Markovic

UML class diagrams are usually annotated with OCL expressions that constrain their possible instantiation. In our work we have investigated how OCL annotations can be automatically updated each time the underlying diagram is refactored. All our refactoring ...

On the Cost of Modularity in Atomic Broadcast

André Schiper, Sergio Mena, Nils Richard Ekwall, Olivier Rütti

Modularity is a desirable property of complex software systems, since it simplifies code reuse, verification, maintenance, etc. However, the use of loosely coupled modules introduces a performance overhead. This overhead is often considered negligible, but ...

On the Usage of Concrete Syntax in Model Transformation Rules

Graph transformations are one of the best known approaches for defining transformations in model-based software development. They are defined over the abstract syntax of source and target languages, described by metamodels. Since graph transformations are ...

A Graphical Approach to Prove the Semantic Preservation of UML/OCL Refactoring Rules

Slavisa Markovic

Refactoring is a powerful technique to improve the quality of software models including implementation code. The software developer applies successively so-called refactoring rules on the current software model and transforms it into a new model. Ideally, ...

RoclET– Refactoring OCL Expressions by Transformations

Slavisa Markovic, Cédric Jeanneret, Leander Eyer

The role of UML models in software development has changed considerably over the last years. While UML was used in its early days mostly as a notation for sketching ideas, developers more and more recognize now the value of a UML model as a formal document ...
