“…Our work can be a reference for establishing the initial trace links between highly-abstracted UML class diagrams and source code, with the statistical analysis on design documents. Trace links between UML class models and source code are essential for multiple tasks in software engineering, such as source code understanding, 3 design-source code consistency checking, [65][66][67] code generation, [68][69][70] and so forth. However, there are limited amount of studies about the tracing between design model and source code.…”

ContextThe UML class diagram is commonly used to model functional structures and software code structures in both the preliminary and detailed design stages. And the abstraction level of UML class diagrams is usually higher than that of source code. Usually, there is a lack of trace links between these class diagrams and the source code, which may cause difficulties in understanding the source code, and affect the software evolution and maintenance.ObjectiveThe main goal of this article is to establish the trace links between highly abstracted UML class diagrams in the design phase and source code, and eventually help practitioners better understand source code.MethodWe propose an approach for the automated trace link establishment between UML class diagrams in the design phase and source code. To address the problem of abstraction level gap between them, we extend the UML class diagram by mining the synonymous phrases of class names and deducing the latent missing relationships between classes from multiple design documents. Then we build the trace links with a two‐phase approach including initial construction with fuzzy matching and further optimization by class relationship inference.ResultsExperiments on five open‐source projects show that the recalls of our approach are over 94%, and the F2‐scores are over 88%, with the gains of 30% to 60% than the four baselines.ConclusionOur work can be a reference for establishing the initial trace links between highly‐abstracted UML class diagrams and source code. Towards the higher abstraction of design diagrams, we extend UML class diagrams with the statistical analysis on multiple design documents. To guarantee the quality of trace links, we design a two‐phase approach by obtaining the “full but not good enough” trace links and filtering the “probably wrong” links. Experiments show that the main techniques of our approach behave as important role for tracing between high‐level class diagrams and source code.

“…STUDENT IN APPLIED RESEARCH PROJECTS About 7 years ago we started parallel programming and automatic code generation as small applied research projects within our capstone framework at the Computer Science Department of Okanagan College, and also at the UBC Okanagan Campus , [17][18], [19], [20]. Students enjoyed projects within capstone project-courses [17], [21], [22], [23] and several projects resulted in student research papers [24], [25], [26], [27].…”

In this paper, we discuss the educational value of a few mid-size and one large applied research projects at the Computer Science Department of Okanagan College (OC) and at the Universities of Paris East Créteil (LACL) and Orléans (LIFO) in France.We found, that some freshmen students are very active and eager to be involved in applied research projects starting from the second semester. They are actively participating in programming competitions and want to be involved in applied research projects to compete with sophomore and older students. Our observation is based on five NSERC Engage College and Applied Research and Development (ARD) grants, and several small applied projects.Student involvement in applied research is a key motivation and success factor in our activities, but we are also involved in transferring some results of applied research, namely programming techniques, into the parallel programming courses for beginners at the senior-and first-year MSc levels. We illustrate this feedback process with programming notions for beginners, practical tools to acquire them and the overall success/failure of students as experienced for more than 10 years in our French University courses.

“…Since 2005 we have searched for new solutions and pedagogical approaches in COSC courses in our Computer Information Systems (CIS) diploma and Bachelor of Computer Information System (BCIS) degree programs. We had many department meetings to discuss students' performance and achievements, especially in COSC 111-Computer Programming I, COSC 121-Computer Programming II, COSC 224-Projects in Computer Science, COSC 470-Software Engineering and COSC 471-Software Engineering Project Project courses [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10]. We were concerned about an apparent low motivation factor in the students and high attrition rate within our institution's first year programming courses COSC 111/121.…”

In this short paper we report on student programming competition results by students from the Computer Science Department (COSC) of Okanagan College (OC) and discuss the achieved results from an educational point of view. We found that some freshmen and sophomore students in diploma and degree programs are very capable and eager to be involved in applied research projects as early as the second semester, and into local and international programming competitions as well. Our observation is based on the last 2 educational years, beginning 2015 when we introduced programming competitions to COSC students. Students reported that participation in competitions give them motivation to effectively learn in their programming courses, inspire them to learn deeper and more thoroughly, and help them achieve better results in their classes.
