“…Source transformation systems based on term rewriting include the DMS system [2], TXL [4], the Rascal language [19] and the Spoofax language workbench [18] with the Stratego/XT engine [3]. Using these systems is quite similar to our approach, which can be seen, e. g., in the Extract-Analyze-Synthesise (EASY) Paradigm for Rascal [20].…”

Abstract. Software translation is a challenging task. Several requirements are important -including automation of the execution, maintainability of the translation patterns, and, most importantly, reliability concerning the correctness of the translation. Triple graph grammars (TGGs) have shown to be an intuitive, welldefined technique for model translation. In this paper, we leverage TGGs for industry scale software translations. The approach is implemented using the Eclipse-based graph transformation tool Henshin and has been successfully applied in a large industrial project with the satellite operator SES on the translation of satellite control procedures. We evaluate the approach regarding requirements from the project and performance on a complete set of procedures of one satellite.

“…Reverse-engineering tools extract various types of facts from the source code, such as annotated syntax trees, and module dependency and call graphs (Balanyi and Ferenc 2003;Telea and Voinea 2008;Lin et al 2003;Baxter et al 2004). Atop of such facts, various quality metrics can be computed, such as lines-of-code, comment density, complexity, cohesion, and coupling (Lanza and Marinescu 2006;Littlefair 2007).…”

Visual analytics is the science of analytical reasoning facilitated by interactive visual interfaces. In this paper, we present an adaptation of the visual analytics framework to the context of software understanding for maintenance. We discuss the similarities and differences of the general visual analytics context with the software maintenance context, and present in detail an instance of a visual software analytics application for the build optimization of large-scale code bases. Our application combines and adapts several data mining and information visualization techniques in answering several questions that help developers in assessing and reducing the build cost of such code bases by means of user-driven, interactive analysis techniques.

“…In [8] the authors present an aspect-oriented programming language for ObjectPascal which is implemented on top of DMS [2]. DMS contains a term rewriting component that forms the basis of their weaving algorithm, but this fact is hidden from the user.…”
