Program slicing, introduced by Weiser, is known to help programmers in understanding foreign code and in debugging. We apply program slicing to the maintenance problem by extending the notion of a program slice (that originally required both a variable and line number) to a decomposition slice, one that captures all computation on a given variable; i.e., is independent of line numbers. Using th...

Enabling the reuse of available techniques and tools for software maintenance is a major topic. However, research focuses mostly on two topics: parsing and tool interoperability. In the future, more sophisticated approaches to maintenance will be needed and dataflow analysis has to be used. As building dataflow analyzers for real languages is expensive, we must start to provide reusable dataflo...

Static Program Analyzers (SPA) are interactive tools that enhance program understanding during maintenance by answering queries about programs. Depending on the maintenance task in hand, SPAs must process different source programs and answer different types of program queries. Flexibility is, therefore, a desirable property of SPAs. In this paper, we describe a program query language, called PQ...

The aim of this article is to suggest a common preventive maintenance program for large turbogenerators used on onshore or offshore, the objective be generic, under intention allow owners different turbo generators brands level standardization. It motivation derives from lack literature approach, either publication own manufacturers old were found, in time where industry 4.0 productivity and av...

BACKGROUND Despite high obesity prevalence rates, few low-income midlife women participate in weight loss maintenance trials. This pilot study aims to assess the effectiveness of two weight loss maintenance interventions in this under-represented population. METHODS Low-income midlife women who completed a 16-week weight loss intervention and lost  ≥ 8 lbs (3.6 kg) were eligible to enroll in ...

This paper presents a program analysis approach that discovers a general class of auxiliary informaton and latent program structure for incremental program comprehension. It combines traditional program analysis technology and comprehension mechanism for efficient incrementality of program understanding. The auxiliary information can be used in software maintenance and other possible applications.
