Dynamic analysis techniques reason over program executions and deal with data produced at program execution time. Dynamic analysis and static analysis techniques complement each other. Hence, a key focus of the workshop is dynamic analysis of software systems with an emphasis on …
Open source practices and tools have proven to be highly effective for overcoming the many problems of geographically distributed software development. We know relatively little, however, about the range of settings in which they work. In particular, can corporations use the open…
We describe an ongoing project, the deployment of a modular checker to statically find and prevent every buffer overflow in future versions of a Microsoft product. Lightweight annotations specify requirements for safely using each buffer, and functions are checked individually to…
AMNESIA is a tool that detects and prevents SQL injection attacks by combining static analysis and runtime monitoring. Empirical evaluation has shown that AMNESIA is both effective and efficient against SQL injection.
Software problems originate from real world problems. A software solution must address its real world problem in a satisfactory way. A software engineer must therefore understand the real world problem that their software intends to address. To be able to do this, the software en…
Over the years, medical informatics researchers have studied how to use software technologies to provide decision support for using evidence-based medical procedures. Software professionals have investigated how to support hospital administration, therapy and laboratory workflows…

In many industries, the adoption of technology developed at universities and independent research labs is the prevalent paradigm. However, in the software space, this is a relatively rare occurrence. In many cases, academic software engineering tends to lag rather than lead comme…
In this paper we suggest a framework for teaching software development methods (SDMs). Specifically, based on our accumulative research and in-practice experience of teaching SDMs, a set of principles, that guides our teaching of SDMs in different settings and teaching experience…
This paper presents the first practical static analysis tool that can find memory leaks and double deletions of objects held in polymorphic containers. This is especially important since most dynamically allocated objects are stored in containers.The tool is based on the concept …
Software reuse has been endorsed as a way to reduce development times and costs while increasing software quality and reliability. Techniques designed to encourage software reuse have concentrated on creating reusable software in the form of frameworks, reuse repositories, and co…
Commercial organizations increasingly need software processes sensitive to business value, quick to apply, and capable of early analysis for subprocess consistency and compatibility. This paper presents experience in applying a lightweight synthesis of a Value-Based Software Qual…
Domain-specific languages hold the potential of automating the software development process. Nevertheless, the adoption of a domain-specific language is hindered by the difficulty of transitioning to different language syntax and employing a separate translator in the software bu…
The implementation and continuous support of a software product at a customer with evolving requirements is a complex task for a product software vendor. There are many customers for the vendor to serve, all of whom might require their own version or variant of the application. F…
Component-based reuse in mission critical Command and Control system domain was a starting point for a long lasting research collaboration between National University of Singapore (NUS) and ST Electronics Pte. Ltd. (STEE). STEE industrial projects as well as NUS lab studies revea…
Web Applications (WA) are developed and maintained under tight schedules. Much similarity across WAs creates opportunities for cutting development cost and easing evolution via reuse. This tutorial shows a practical way to exploit similarity patterns - at architecture and code le…
Software development projects are subject to external and internal risks that cause delays, budget overrun and poor quality. Portfolio management can be used to alleviate this problem, as it pools resources together and allows for resource sharing among projects. Consequently, pr…
Misuse of measurement units is a common source of errors in scientific applications, but standard type systems do not prevent such errors. Dimensional analysis in physics can be used to manually detect such errors in physical equations. It is, however, not feasible to perform suc…
In this paper we present the FormulaBuilder, a flexible tool for graph-based modelling and generation of formulae. The FormulaBuilder allows easy and intuitive creation of formulae by using basic components called Formula Building Blocks (FBBs) and arranging them as graphs accord…
Usability is increasingly recognized as a quality attribute that one has to explicitly deal with during development. Nevertheless, usability techniques, when applied, are decoupled from the software development process. The host of techniques offered by the HCI (Human-Computer In…
