Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience, Volume 38, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT The increasing availability of GPU accelerated architectures for high‐performance computing presents new opportunities for scientific software but also challenges due to the complexity of porting legacy codes to accelerator platforms. Directive‐based programming models such as OpenACC offer a minimally intrusive pathway to exploit GPU ...

Perception and Acceptance of an Autonomous Refactoring Bot
, 2020 The use of autonomous bots for automatic support in software development tasks is increasing. In the past, however, they were not always perceived positively and sometimes experienced a negative bias compared to their human counterparts.

, 2001 Software developers spend most of their time modifying and maintaining existing products. This is because systems, and consequently their design, are in perpetual evolution before they die. Nevertheless, dealing with this evolution is a complex task. Before evolving a system, structural modi cations are often required.

A Case Study in Refactoring Functional Programs [PDF]
, 2003 Refactoring is the process of redesigning existing code without changing its functionality. Refactoring has recently come to prominence in the OO community. In this paper we explore the prospects for refactoring functional programs.

Assessing the Usefulness of Assurance Cases: Experience With the Large Hadron Collider
Systems Engineering, Volume 29, Issue 1, Page 99-113, January 2026.ABSTRACT Assurance cases (ACs) are structured arguments designed to show that a system is sufficiently reliable to function properly in its operational environment. They are mandated by safety standards and are largely used in industry to support risk management for systems; however, ACs often contain proprietary information and are not publicly ...

A Task-driven Grammar Refactoring Algorithm
Acta Polytechnica, 2012 This paper presents our proposal and the implementation of an algorithm for automated refactoring of context-free grammars. Rather than operating under some domain-specific task, in our approach refactoring is perfomed on the basis of a refactoring task ...

On the Assessment of Interactive Detection of Code Smells in Practice: A Controlled Experiment
IEEE Access, 2023 Code smells are structures in a program that often indicate the presence of deeper maintainability problems. Code smells should be detected as soon as they are introduced, enabling refactoring actions with less effort and time. Non-Interactive Detection (
