Empirical evidence indicates that developers face significant hurdles when the API elements necessary to implement a task are not accessible from the types they are working with. We propose an approach that leverages the structural relationships between API elements to make API methods or types not accessible from a given API type more discoverable. We implemented our approach as an extension t...

Since 1993, Los Alamos National Laboratory has been developing World Wide Web (WWW) applications to facilitate access to vast quantities of information critical to the successful operation of a nuclear weapons facility. Explorer is a web-based tool that integratesfulltext search and retrieval technology, custom user inte$aces, user-friendly navigation tools, extremely large document collections...

To conduct content analysis over text data, one may look out for important named objects and entities that refer to real world instances, synthesizing them into knowledge relevant to a given information seeking task. In this paper, we introduce a visual analytics tool called ER-Explorer to support such an analysis task. ER-Explorer consists of a data model known as TUBE and a set of data manipu...

UNLABELLED sMOL Explorer is a 2D ligand-based computational tool that provides three major functionalities: data management, information retrieval and extraction and statistical analysis and data mining through Web interface. With sMOL Explorer, users can create personal databases by adding each small molecule via a drawing interface or uploading the data files from internal and external projec...

We developed a common access facility to homogeneously formatted accelerometric event data and to the corresponding sheet of ground motion parameters. This paper is focused on the description of the technical development of the accelerometric data server and the link with the accelerometric data explorer. The server is the third node of the 3-tier architecture of the distributed archive system ...

This paper presents extensions to the Spec Explorer tool to automate the testing of software applications through their GUI based on a formal specification in Spec#. The Spec Explorer tool, developed at Microsoft Research, already supports the automatic generation and execution of test cases for API testing, but requires that the actions described in the model are bound to methods in a .Net ass...
