A detailed quantitative study of program behaviour is described. Reference strings from a representative set of programs were decomposed into phases and transitions. Referencing behaviour is studied at both the macro level (program-wide) and the micro level (within the phases and transitions).Quantitative data, suitable for the parameterization of program behaviour models, is presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
