Software Engineering as Instrumentation for the Long Tail of Scientific Software

Many disciplines of science are increasingly reliant on computational tools to extract insight from data. Some of these tools have the character of domain-agnostic infrastructure with potential use, and thus possibilities for continued support, from a wide swath of research fields, or even disciplines. Nonetheless, any quantitative research field will also have a myriad of algorithms for analys...

WOWMON: A Machine Learning-based Profiler for Self-adaptive Instrumentation of Scientific Workflows

Performance debugging using program profiling and tracing for scientific workflows can be extremely difficult for two reasons. 1) Existing performance tools lack the ability to automatically produce global performance data based on local information from coupled scientific applications of workflows, particularly at runtime. 2) Profiling/tracing with static instrumentation may incur high overhea...

Instrumentation Systems

Minimal Instrumentation

Feature location is a commonly occurring problem in software reuse and maintenance. In understanding large software systems, Software Engineers need to locate the different software components that work together to provide a specific end user feature. Because of its importance, this problem has generated much interest among software maintenance researchers and a number of different methods of a...
