This paper describes a prototype tool that facilitates the process of understanding and managing multi-language program dependencies. More specifically, the software tool maintains a repository of host-to-foreign language dependencies between C/C++ and Java code. We describe some program comprehension features of the tool and we discuss a preliminary case study performed in order to verify its functionality and validate its usefulness. Based on the results of this study, we continue improving the tool.
For call intensive programs, function calls are major bottlenecks during program execution since they usually force register contents to be spilled into memory. Such register to memory spills are much more pronounced ...

Cyclic linear codes of block length n over a finite field F/sub q/ are the linear subspaces of F/sub q//sup n/ that are invariant under a cyclic shift of their coordinates. A family of codes is good if all the codes in the family have constant rate and constant normalized distance (distance divided by block length). it is a long-standing open problem whether there exists a good family of cyclic linear codes based on F.J. MacWilliams and N.J.A. Sloane (1977). A code C is r-testable if there exist a randomized algorithm which, given a word x /spl isin/ F/sub q//sup n/, adaptively selects r positions, checks the entries of x in the selected positions, and makes a decision (accept or reject x) based on the positions selected and the numbers found, such that (i) if x /spl isin/ C then x is surely accepted; (ii) if dist(x,C) /spl ges/ /spl epsi/n then x is probably rejected (dist refers to Hamming distance). A family of codes is locally testable if all members of the family are r-testable for some constant r. This concept arose from holographic proofs/PCPs. O. Goldreich and M. Sudan (2002) asked whether there exist good, locally testable families of codes. in this paper we address the intersection of the two questions stated.
A number of empirical studies using students as subjects has been carried out in the last few years. These studies are usually conducted as pilot experiments that allow researchers to fine-tune an experiment before de...

New explicit design relations are proposed for setting the parameters of Pi controllers, from the knowledge of three parameters: gain, average residence time, and normalized dead time, characterizing the process to be controlled. These parameters can be obtained from the process step response or from the closed- loop response with any stabilizing Pi controller. Simulation results for different types of process transfer function, including non minimum-phase processes or processes with dead time, show well damped responses with smooth control actions minimizing the total variation of the controller input.

This paper describes MiRACLE (Multilingual information RetrievAl for the CLEf campaign) approach and results for the mono, bi and multilingual Cross Language Evaluation Forum tasks. The approach is based on the combination of linguistic and statistic techniques to perform indexing and retrieval tasks.

Unregulated evolution of software often leads to software ageing which not only makes the product difficult to maintain but also breaks the consistency between design and implementation. in such a case, it may become necessary to re-engineer the software so that it becomes maintainable again. in this paper we present the case study of the reengineering of the People Tracking subsystem of a surveillance system written in C++. We discuss the problems, the challenges and the approaches taken, and we show how the re-engineered product is now better maintainable. We also discuss the generation of the relevant artefacts - from requirement document through to design document.
