Benchmarks have been used in computer science to compare the performance of computer
systems, information retrieval algorithms, databases, and many other technologies. The …

This paper describes ongoing work toward the development of a standard software
exchange format (SEF), for exchanging information among tools that analyze computer …

In this paper we propose the first method known to the authors that successfully
differentiates spontaneous from posed facial expressions using a realistic training corpus …

As large systems evolve, their architectural integrity tends to decay. Reverse engineering
tools, such as PBS [7, 19], Rigi [15], and Acacia [5], can be used to acquire an understanding …

This paper is a summary of the author's thesis that presents a model and an environment for
recovering the high level design of legacy software systems based on user defined …

GXL (Graph eXchange Language) is an XML-based standard exchange format for sharing
data between tools. Formally, GXL represents typed, attributed, directed, ordered graphs …

Developing a standard schema at the abstract syntax tree (AST) level for C/C++ to be used
by reverse engineering and reengineering tools is a complex and difficult problem. In this …

A common and difficult maintenance activity is the integration of existing software
components or tools into a consistent and interoperable whole. One area in which this has …

Current research in software reengineering offers a great amount of tools specialized on
certain reengineering tasks. The definition of a powerful common interchange format is a key …

Data interchange in the form of a standard exchange format (SEF) is only a first step rewards
tool interoperability. Inter-tool communication using files is slow and cumbersome; a better …
