Computer-Aided Extraction of Software Components

We describe an application of independent component analysis (ICA) to pattern recognition in order to evaluate the effectiveness of features extracted by ICA. We propose a recognition method suitable for independent components that consists of modules ...

Software reuse has been used as a tool to reduce the development cost and time of the software. Nowadays, in fact, majority of software systems are being developed from an assembly of existing reusable components. In order to assess the reuse of ...

Principal component analysis (PCA) and Minor component analysis (MCA) are similar but have different dynamical performances. Unexpectedly, a sequential extraction algorithm for MCA proposed by Luo and Unbehauen [11] does not work for MCA, while it works ...
