Source-to-Source Translation and Software Engineering

Source-to-Source Translation and Software Engineering

Source-to-source translation of programs from one high level language to another has been shown to be an effective aid to programming in many cases. By the use of this approach, it is sometimes possible to produce software more cheaply and reliably. However, the full potential of this technique has not yet been realized. It is proposed to make sourceto-source translation more effective by the u...

Open Source Software Engineering

The term Open Source Software (OSS) first appeared in 1998 [1] in an effort to change the popular understanding of what had to that point been called “free software” products like GNU/Linux, Apache, Perl and BIND. In the periods both immediately before and after the coining of the term, many insightful essays appeared both online and in print, attempting to better explain this novel approach to...

Source to Java Translation

Java is rapidly becoming the language of choice in a wide range of applications from networking to scientific to business. Other languages can gain the power of Java by compiling to Java or to its bytecode. Source to Java translation is an attractive option because it is faster to implement and offers advantages in retaining the structure of the original program as well as the possibility of li...

Software Engineering Lessons from Open Source Projects

The Open Source form of software development has captured the attention of academics and software practitioners alike. Though, this ‘phenomenon’ has been touted by some to be how all software will eventually be developed, many are critical about how far this form of organization will be successful. It is very likely that both the traditional form as well as the Open Source form of organization ...
