INES – National Institute of Science and Technology for Software Engineering

INES at AMW 2016

Diego Ernesto Rosa Pessoa will attend the Alberto Mendelzon International Workshop on Foundations of Data Management (AMW 2016) to present the following papers: “Towards a Multi-Layer Architecture for Combination of Schema Matchers” and “A Query-driven and Incremental Process for Entity Resolution“. The Alberto Mendelzon Workshop is an initiative of the Latin American community of researchers in data management. This event is held annually since 2006, and it aims to create opportunities for dissemination and exchange of research results from globally produced investigations, encouraging participants to propose innovative and technological developments. The 10th edition will be held in Panama City, Panama from June 6th to 10th 2016.

Abstract: Maintainability of a software product line depends on the possibility to modularize its variations, often expressed in terms of optionally selected features. Conventional modularization techniques bind variations either statically or dynamically, but ideally it should be possible to flexibly choose between both. In this paper, we propose improved solutions for modularizing and flexibly binding varying features in form of idioms in aspect-oriented languages AspectJ and CaesarJ. We evaluate the idioms qualitatively by discussing their advantages and deficiencies and quantitatively by means of metrics.
