Our paper published in the proceedings of the 40th ACM SIGPLAN Conference on Programming Language Design and Implementation (PLDI 2019)proposes Renaissance, a modern benchmark suite whose aim is to advance compiler and virtual machine (VM) research. The publication is complemented by an accepted artifactTo demonstrate ...

Software engineering projects are faced with abstraction, which is achieved by software models, historical evolution, which is addressed by revision control, and variability, which is managed with the help of software product line engineering. Addressing these phenomena by separate tools ignores obvious overlaps and ...

This extended abstract summarizes our work on reducing the maintenance effort for the parameterization of representative load tests using annotations, which we have published in the Journal of Software Testing, Verification & Reliability in 2019.

In 2017 and 2018 we released two of our research prototypes as open source. We explain our motivation and concerns at that time and compare them with our actual experience. We also describe how open source releases enabled collaboration with industrial partners. Finally, we show how research projects can extend their ...

This paper describes a number of different channels for bidirectional software engineering (SE) knowledge transfer between academia and medical device industry. The paper also brings the results of the gap analysis showing the discrepancy between the medical device industry needs and the curricula of relevant courses. ...

This position paper provides an overview of the organisation and activities of the Hamburger Informatik Technology Center e.V. (HITeC). The goal of HITeC is to transfer state-of-the-art scientific results, achieved at the Department of Informatics of the University of Hamburg, to companies, the public administration, and ...

Software testing is widely applied in software quality assurance. Often, test suites fulfilling a certain coverage measure must be constructed. Manually constructing them is laborious. However, numerous automatic test-generation approaches exist. Due to various strengths and weaknesses of individual approaches, hybrid ...

This manuscript summarizes our empirical study on reuse in the context of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) extensively described in [Gh19b] as a paper with the same title, presented in 2nd International Workshop on Experiences and Empirical Studies on Software Reuse (WEESR 2019)

Im Folgenden geben wir einen kurzen Überblick über das Profil und die Forschungs- und Transferschwerpunkte des Forschungsbereichs Software Engineering am FZI. Neben ausgewählten Schwerpunkten im Bereich Prozess- und Software-Architektur-Analysen geben wir einen Ausblick auf zukünftige Themen.
