Ambient Environment - Artifacts Subversion Documents Source Ambient Code Environment Change logs feature requests Process Other Artifacts Highlights • Conceptualized software maintenance process • Developed an Ambient Software Process Support Environment. Dr. Juergen Rilling 3 of 34

Applications Artifact analysis, e.g., source code, document analysis (Re-) establish traceability among artifacts to support comprehension Process support through knowledge integration Dr. Juergen Rilling Dr. Juergen Rilling 4 of 34

IDE Integration Highlights • Ambient IDE integration – knowledge and resources become an integrated part • Process guidance and maintenance/development activities are integrated Dr. Juergen Rilling 5 of 34

Applications - Artifact Analysis Artifact Analysis: •Unified ontological representation for the various artifacts. •Use existing ontology reasoners to infer knowledge to support • Semantic queries at the source code level • Document analysis: • Combine Natural Language Processing (NLP) and domain knowledge to extract information. Dr. Juergen Rilling Dr. Juergen Rilling 7 of 34

Applications - Traceability Traceability: Motivation: • Discover/re-establish traceability links among existing and new artifacts through: • Ontology alignment and merging. • Shared concepts. • Semantic queries across ontologies. Dr. Juergen Rilling Dr. Juergen Rilling 8 of 34

Research Questions Is static analysis enough to deal with cultural and technology changes in software engineering? Why don’t we seem to make any real progress – beyond “patching”? Dr. Juergen Rilling 10 of 34
