The CS Dept presents EMILY GIBSON HILL (University of Delaware)
Paulette Rinderknecht <rinderknechtp@wlu.edu>
Emily will talk about "Developing Natural Language-based Software
Analyses & Tools to Expedite Software Maintenance" on Fri, Dec 4th at
11:15 in Parmly Hall, Room 405. Lunch will be provided.
Abstract: Today’s software is large and complex, with systems
consisting of millions of lines of code. New developers to a software
project face significant challenges in locating code related to their
maintenance tasks of fixing bugs or adding new features. Developers
can simply be handed a bug and told to fix it—even when they have no
idea where to begin.
We can significantly reduce the cost of software maintenance by
reducing the time and effort to find and understand code. In this
talk, I will outline the challenges in finding and understanding code
in a large software project as well as present some software
engineering tools that can help. Specifically, I will present
techniques that leverage the textual information from comments and
identifiers as well as program structure to create intuitive software
engineering and program comprehension.

Free converted player piano

Free: Upright piano, an old converted dark-brown player piano with
great full and sharp sound, but some chipped keys, needs tuning. You
will have to move it from our house. I moved it two years ago by
renting a truck and a piano dolly and getting the help of two other
people. You can drive a truck close to the basement door where the
piano is located. If interested, please reply by email or call
463-9574.
