Dominance analysis from graph theory allows one to locate subordinated software elements in a rooted dependency graph. It identifies the nesting structure for a dependency graph ...
This paper describes a computational model of similarity developed to support analogical software reuse. Similarity is computed from conceptual descriptions of software artifacts o...
GXL (Graph eXchange Language) is designed to be a standard exchange format for graph-based tools. GXL is defined as an XML sublanguage, which offers support for exchanging instanc...
The paper proposes a methodology to assist the designer at the initial stages of the design synthesis process by enabling him/her to employ knowledge and algorithms existing in gr...
Complex information systems have numerous design variables that are systematically decided upon during the design process. In high-variability systems, some of these decisions are...
