Paper accepted at IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering
by Thiago Tonelli Bartolomei on July 24, 2011

The paper Two Studies of Framework-Usage Templates Extracted from Dynamic Traces was accepted for publication at the IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering journal. In this paper we present the results of two experiments conducted to evaluate the quality and usefulness of FUDA, a technique to extract concept-implementation templates from usage traces.

Paper accepted at Feature Oriented Software Development (FOSD'11) Workshop
by Novakovic, Marko on July 19, 2011

A Study of Non-Boolean Constraints in Variability Models of an Embedded Operating System was accepted at ACM 3rd International Workshop on Feature-Oriented Software Development (FOSD) (http://fosd.de/2011).

The study results in a benchmark, produced as a set of Clafer models. The benchmark is available on http://gsd.uwaterloo.ca/FOSD11

Our paper on "An integrated repository for API migration" has been accepted at the 1st International Workshop on Model-Driven Software Migration (MDSM) 2011. The work is in collaboration with Ralf Laemmel and his students at the Software Languages Lab at the University of Koblenz-Landau.
Clafer update
by Kacper Bąk on December 3, 2010

There have been several developments to Clafer recently. First of all, our SLE paper got updated due to a flaw in the telematics example. Secondly, we are developing a Clafer implementation in MPS. It is a great playground for experimenting with new language features, syntactic elements and semantic variants. A screenshot showing the telematics example is attached below. Our experience with MPS has been very positive so far. The project will be released soon. Stay tuned!

This lab is quite diverse. It is comprised of a group of really smart people from all over the world, each with different backgrounds, working in a friendly and welcoming environment. Being part of it has been such an enriching experience.

Jesús Alejandro Padilla Gaeta

People in the lab are very enthusiastic about what they do. The environment is very stimulating and soon you realize that most of the limits are those in your head.
