Context: Systematic reviews have been increasingly applied in computing area and are used to perform a broad literature search and generate the state of the art, or evidences on an issue. For this, primary studies are ...

Software reuse aims to increase productivity and to decrease time-to-market, through work optimization and avoiding effort duplication. In this context, two areas arise: Software Components and Computer-Aided Software ...

Usually, experimental studies that are conducted to generate evidences on the different scientific fields produce many qualitative data to be analyzed by researchers. For instance, this is the case of defects lists ...

One of the Software Engineering challenges is the development of applications that can adapt to the heterogeneous needs of users. Technical Dynamic Composition of Services Driven by User is a solution for developing ...

A goal of the Object-Oriented Programming is to develop software with better modularization and separation of concerns, although tangling and scattering of some of these concerns cannot be prevented. The Aspect-Oriented ...

Autonomous mobile robots are machines capable of executing repetitive/dangerous tasks more efficiently. Most of them have an embedded software which is responsible for their execution. Over the last years, the complexity ...

Software development is an activity in constant change over time. Given the complexity and high cost that exists in software construction, there is high demand, especially in the software industries, for methodologies and ...

Frameworks are software artifacts that implement the basic functionality of a domain. Its reuse can improve the efficiency of development process and the quality of application code. However, frameworks are difficult to ...

The electronic gaming industry has recently witnessed an exponential growth in terms of titles and overall complexity of the games. This growth is responsible for many advances in computational technologies. But it also ...

Aspect-Oriented programming was created to modularize the so-called crosscutting concerns . Crosscutting concerns have some properties that cannot be fully modularized with the object-oriented paradigm. After that, ...
