Visualizing collaborations of objects is important for developers understanding and debugging an object-oriented program. Many techniques and tools are proposed to visualize dynamic collaborations involved in an execution trace of a system, however, an execution trace may be too large to be transformed into a single diagram. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to efficiently detecting phases, or high-level behavioral units described in a use-case scenario. Our idea is based on the nature of object-oriented programming; a phase starts with preparing objects for the phase and ends with destroying temporary objects. Our technique uses a LRU cache for observing a working set of objects, and interprets a sharp rise in the frequency of the cache update as a phase transition. We have applied our approach to two industrial applications and found that our approach is promising to visualize a phase corresponding to a feature as a sequence diagram.

“…Eine gewisse Vertrautheit mit der Implementierung ist hier Voraussetzung, um nicht eine vollständige Suche durchführen zu müssen. Andere statische Verfahren finden mit Hilfe von Techniken des Information-Retrievals Begriffe aus Anforderungsdokumenten in Bezeichnern oder Kommentaren des Quellcodes [108,110,113] Bei dynamischen Verfahren werden die Routinen beobachtet und visualisiert, die bei der Verwendung eines Merkmals ausgeführt werden [98,101,107]. Der Analytiker kann dann anhand der sich ergebenden visuellen Muster die Merkmale lokalisieren.…”

Zusammenfassung Software-Architekturen werden aus verschiedenen Sichten beschrieben, die abhängig von den Anliegen sind, die mit der Beschreibung verfolgt werden. In vielen Fällen ist die Software-Architektur eines Systems nicht ausreichend beschrieben. Sichten müssen dann rekonstruiert werden, um für Planung von Änderungen zur Verfügung zu stehen.Dieser Artikel fasst die in der wissenschaftlichen Literatur vorgeschlagenen Techniken zur Rekonstruktion von Software-Architektursichten zusammen und stellt sie den Sichten des Architekturentwurfs gegenüber. Anhand der Gegenüber-stellung identifiziert er Forschungsbedarf.Abstract Software architectures are described by different views which depend upon the concerns of the respective stakeholders. Far too often, software architectures are not documented sufficiently. In such cases, an architecture description must be reconstructed when changes to the system are to be made.This article summarizes the current state of the art of techniques and methods for software architecture reconstruction and relates them to the viewpoints that have been proposed in architecture design. The article identifies research opportunities based on the comparison.

REPORT DOCUMENTATION PAGEForm Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1 hour per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing this collection of information. As computing technology increasingly pervades everyday life, demand for more flexible and adaptable user interfaces increases. With advent of assistive technology for people with disabilities, user interfaces for mainstream applications become more unique and specialized. This requires user interfaces to be adapted to fit their context, consisting of the physical environment, user capabilities and activity factors. The MesoMORPH project examined methods to add automation to context-dependent user interfaces. MesoMORPH is a toolset containing gauges that allow design-time metrics related to feature importance and impact of changes according to a specialized context. MesoMORPH provides support for the following capabilities: create optimized applications for a specified set of tasks, adapt for particular user, adapt for a situation and/or adapt for a new device, such as from a desktop to a Palmtop display.
