An analysis of the 'inconclusive' change report category in OSS assisted by a program slicing metric
Counsell, S.; Hall, T.; Nasseri, E.; Bowes, D. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010)In this paper, we investigate the Barcode open-source system (OSS) using one of Weiser's original slice-based metrics (Tightness) as a basis. In previous work, low numerical values of this slice-based metric were found to ... -
Calibrating program slicing metrics for practical use.
Bowes, D.; Counsell, S.; Hall, Tracy (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2009) -
Fault Analysis in OSS Based on Program Slicing Metrics
Black, S.; Counsell, S.; Hall, T.; Bowes, D. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2009)In this paper, we investigate the barcode OSS using two of Weiser's original slice-based metrics (tightness and overlap) as a basis, complemented with fault data extracted from multiple versions of the same system. We ... -
A mapping study of software code cloning
Shippey, T.; Bowes, D.; Christianson, B.; Hall, T. (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2012)Background: Software Code Cloning is widely used by developers to produce code in which they have confidence and which reduces development costs and improves the software quality. However, Fowler and Beck suggest that the ... -
Program Slice Metrics and Their Potential Role in DSL Design
Counsell, S.; Hall, Tracy; Bowes, D.; Black, S. (2009)The advantages a DSL and the benefits its use potentially brings imply that informed decisions on the design of a domain specific language are of paramount importance for its use. We believe that the foundations of such ... -
Program slicing-based cohesion measurement: the challenges of replicating studies using metrics
Bowes, D.; Hall, Tracy; Kerr, A. (ACM Press, 2011)It is important to develop corpuses of data to test out the efficacy of using metrics. Replicated studies are an important contribution to corpuses of metrics data. There are few replicated studies using metrics reported ... -
Receptor response and soma leakiness in a simulated spiking neural controller for a robot
Bowes, D.; Adams, R.G.; Canamero, L.; Steuber, Volker; Davey, N. (INSTICC (Inst. Syst. Technologies Information Control and Communication), 2008)This paper investigates different models of leakiness for the soma of a simulated spiking neural controller for a robot exhibiting negative photo-taxis. It also investigates two models of receptor response to stimulus ... -
The role of lateral inhibition in the sensory processing in a simulated spiking neural controller for a robot
Bowes, D.; Adams, R.G.; Cañamero, Lola; Steuber, Volker; Davey, N. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2009)Visual adaptation is the process that allows animals to be able to see over a wide range of light levels. This is achieved partially by lateral inhibition in the retina which compensates for low/high light levels. Neural ... -
A theoretical and empirical analysis of three slice-based metrics for cohesion
Counsell, S.; Hall, T.; Bowes, D. (2010)Sound empirical research suggests that we should analyze software metrics from a theoretical and practical perspective. This paper describes the result of an investigation into the respective merits of two cohesion-based ... -
Using the support vector machine as a classification method for software defect prediction with static code metrics
Gray, David; Bowes, D.; Davey, N.; Sun, Yi; Christianson, B. (2009)The automated detection of defective modules within software systems could lead to reduced development costs and more reliable software. In this work the static code metrics for a collection of modules contained within ...
