Live ICSE 2012 blogging: Graph-Based Analysis and Prediction for Software Evolution

Previous live blog post: Maintaining Invariant Traceability through Bidirectional Transformations Iuliam Neamtiu (University of California at Riverside, USA) presented the work Graph-Based Analysis and Prediction for Software Evolution. In this work, the authors analyzed the evolution of graphs about software (e.g., function call graphs, module relationships graphs, commit logs / bug reports graphs, etc.). Analyzing… Continue Reading

Developing a Java EE 6 Web Profile application from scratch

On April 19th, during the ICT Days, I presented a talk entitled "Hands-on Development of Web Applications with Java EE 6". Given that I only had an hour for the presentation, it was not really a "Hands On" talk because I didn’t have the time to allow the audience to implement whatever I was implementing… Continue Reading

Hacking Eclipse’s GlassFish plug-in to show better log messages

I’ve been using Eclipse 3.7 (Indigo) and GlassFish 3.1 for some projects in which I use Java EE 6. To integrate GlassFish in Eclipse I use a GlassFish plug-in that you can easily install pointing Eclipse to the update site http://download.java.net/glassfish/eclipse/helios. This integration works great! I can deploy Enterprise Applications to GlassFish, start and stop… Continue Reading

I presented a paper called “Awareness Requirements for Adaptive Systems”, which is part of my… Continue Reading

My blog

I have had two experiences with blogs in the past (both of them with posts in Portuguese only). The first one was when I was fooling around with the idea of starting a company to develop software and provide training and consulting on Java (the platform, not the island). A friend of mine also wrote… Continue Reading
