      abstract	= {Concurrent systems are inherently more difficult to
    		  analyze and visualize than sequential programs. The
    		  difficulty of producing correct concurrent programs is
    		  mirrored in maintenance as difficulty in extracting a
    		  correct high-level model of task interactions and
    		  predicting the effect of a modification to portions of a
    		  system. The authors advocate a methodology that combines
    		  static analysis of an abstract model with dynamic analysis
    		  of source code. While the abstract model is amenable to
    		  exhaustive analysis, dynamic analysis is capable checking
    		  richer classes of specifications, and moreover provides a
    		  check on the correctness of simplifications and assumptions
    		  inherent in abstract models. We illustrate this approach by
    		  combining two tools, the PAL system for compositional
    		  reachability analysis and the FORESEE analysis tool for
    		  temporal analysis of runtime traces, applied to a
    		  simulation scenario.},

    		  in all three phses of maintenance, namely comprehension,
    		  modification and debugging. Visibility flow graphs are
    		  introduced to represent the information about the static
    		  semantics of a program. Using static analysis of programs,
    		  it is possible to approximate their dynamic behaviour. More
    		  precise analysis is possible if the program is monitored
    		  during its execution. For dynamic semantics, dependence
    		  relations are used that reflect the dependency of
    		  statements on the input value of variables and of the
    		  output value of variables on the statements. These
    		  relations are generated both at static analysis time, and
    		  also during program execution. Some sample sessions with a
    		  prototype program analyzer for a subset of Ada are also
    		  included.},

      abstract	= {The user of a large reuse library faces the formidable
    		  discovery problem of searching for all and only those
    		  components useful in solving the current programming task.
    		  This paper describes a retrieval technique that generalizes
    		  the simple idea of executing each component on test inputs,
    		  reporting those that compute correct outputs. One
    		  generalization improves recall by considering small
    		  programs constructible from library components, rather than
    		  just single components. Furthermore, functional modeling of
    		  components allows the technique to handle complex
    		  behaviors, such as side effects. I motivate, describe, and
    		  analyze the technique and a working prototype, GBR, which
    		  has been tested on two libraries: one containing general
    		  programming components, the other containing (some) Unix
    		  shell commands.},

      abstract	= {A new method, called behavior sampling, is proposed for
    		  automated retrieval of reusable components from software
    		  libraries. Behavior sampling exploits the property of
    		  software that distinguishes it from other forms of text:
    		  executability. Basic behavior sampling identifies relevant
    		  routines by executing candidates on a searcher supplied
    		  sample of operational inputs and by comparing their output
    		  provided by the searcher. The probabilistic basis for
    		  behavior sampling is described, and experimental results
    		  are reported that suggest that basic behavior sampling
    		  exhibits high precision when used with small samples.
    		  Extensions to basic behavioral sampling are proposed to
    		  improve its recall and to make it applicable to the
    		  retrieval of abstract data types and object classes.},
