A Generic Framework for Automated Quality Assurance of Software Models –Implementation of an Abstract Syntax Tree
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Computer Science & Applications - Year 2014, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Abstract Syntax Tree’s (AST) are used in language tools, such as compilers, language translators and transformers as well as analysers; to remove syntax and are therefore an ideal construct for a language independent tool. AST’s are also commonly used in static analysis. This increases the value of ASTs for use within a universal Quality Assurance (QA) tool. The Object Management Group (OMG) have outlined a Generic AST Meta-model (GASTM) which may be used to implement the internal representation (IR) for this tool. This paper discusses the implementation and modifications made to the previously published proposal, to use the Object Management Group developed Generic Abstract Syntax Tree Meta-model core-components as an internal representation for an automated quality assurance framework.

Threshold Based Penalty Functions for Constrained Multiobjective Optimization
This paper compares the performance of our re-cently proposed threshold based penalty function against its dynamic and adaptive variants. These penalty functions are incorporated in the update and replacement scheme of t...
Translation of the Mutation Operator from Genetic Algorithms to Evolutionary Ontologies
Recently introduced, evolutionary ontologies rep-resent a new concept as a combination of genetic algorithms and ontologies. We have defined a new framework comprising a set of parameters required for any evolutionary al...
