We introduce and apply a genetic representation for analog electronic circuits based on the association of character strings extracted from the genome with the terminals and param...
Current software systems contain increasingly more elements that have not usually been considered in software engineering research and studies. Source artifacts, understood as the...
The growing need of software infrastructure able to create, maintain and ease the evolution of scientific data, promotes the development of digital libraries in order to provide th...
In this paper we introduce graph-evolution rules, a novel type of frequency-based pattern that describe the evolution of large networks over time, at a local level. Given a sequenc...
Building software systems with reusable components brings many advantages. The development becomes more efficient, the reliability of the products is enhanced, and the maintenance...
