Measuring Functional Cohesion

Measuring Design-Level Cohesion

Cohesion was first introduced as a software attribute that, when measured, could be used to predict properties of implementations that would be created from a given design. Unfortunately, cohesion, as originally defined, could not be objectively assessed, while more recently developed objective cohesion measures depend on code-level information. We show that association-based and slice-based ap...

Measuring Functional Cohesion

We examine the functional cohesion of procedures using a data slice abstraction. Our analysis identi es the data tokens that lie on more than one slice as the \glue" that binds separate components together. Cohesion is measured in terms of the relative number of glue tokens, tokens that lie on more than one data slice, and super-glue tokens, tokens that lie on all data slices in a procedure, an...

Measuring Virtual Community Cohesion

This paper presents findings of a preliminary study on virtual community cohesion with the aim to measure the social cohesiveness of users of the social media. Whilst social media can be a medium for social integration, it can be a tool to instigate disunity and social calamity. This study attempts to gauge the perception of ordinary Malaysian citizens who are users of the social media on the e...

Measuring Lexical Cohesion: Beyond Word Repetition

This paper considers the problem of finding topical shifts in documents and in particular at what information can be leveraged to identify them. Recent research on topical segmentation usually assumes that topical shifts in discourse are signalled by changes in vocabulary. This information, however, is not always a sufficient indicator of a topical shift, especially for certain genres. This pap...
