Our objective is to identify requirements (ie, quality attributes and functional requirements)
for software visualization tools. We especially focus on requirements for research tools that …

The Rigi environment is a mature research tool that provides functionality to reverse
engineer software systems. With Rigi large systems can be analyzed, interactively explored, …

With the rapid growth of web services and socio-technical ecosystems, the management
complexity of these modern, decentralized, distributed computing systems presents significant …

Software reverse engineering is a subdiscipline of software engineering, striving to provide
support for the comprehension of software systems by creating suitable representations of …

JavaScript is a scripting language, of course. The drawbacks and benefits of scripting
languages compared to full-fledged programming languages have been explored before. In a …

This dissertation explores a new approach to construct tools in the domain of reverse
engineering. The approach uses already available software components -- such as off-the-shelf …

The World Wide Web has led to a new kind of software, web systems, which are based on
web technologies. Just like software in other domains, web systems have evolution challenges…

In this paper, we are exploring the approach to utilize system-specific static analyses of code
with the goal to improve software quality for specific software systems. Specialized analyses…

Continuous evolution is a key trait of software-intensive systems. Many research projects
investigate mechanisms to adapt software systems effectively in order to ease evolution. By …

We introduce the notion of a live document and we describe our concept of live documents
with contextual, data driven information components. The dynamic and interactive features of …
