“…Likewise, our tool has measured memory and CPU consumption of various virtual machine implementations, such as the addition of structural intercession [43] and dynamic inheritance to .Net [44], and the implementation of the nitrO virtual machine [45]. ProcessPerformance has been used to measure network and memory consumption in the design and implementation of mobile applications for multiple platforms [46], including the DIMAG back-end module [47] and the LIZARD native interface generator [48].…”

The measurement of the resources consumed by an application at runtime is an important task in different scenarios such as program optimization, malware and bug detection, and hardware scaling. Although different tools exist for this purpose, they sometimes show some limitations such as operating system and hardware dependencies, performance overhead, and usage complexity. For this reason, we create ProcessPerformance, a portable and easy-to-use command-line tool that provides information about the CPU, memory, and network resources consumed by any combination of running processes. It also avoids the performance overhead caused by software and binary code injection.

Evaluating user interface generation approaches: model-based versus model-driven development

Advances in software design possibilities have led to a growing interest in the study of User Interfaces (UIs). Many Model-Based User Interface Development Environments (MB-UIDEs) have been proposed to deal with the generation of the UIs (semi) automatically by using models with different levels of abstraction. Often, this generation is limited to the UI-part of an application. However, achieving true model-driven development (MDD) requires the co-development of application and user interface and hence needs to go a step further. This paper analyzes a large set of existing MB-UIDEs and evaluates, from a critical perspective, to what extent they can be considered full MDD environments and adequately addressing the co-design of UI and application. A robust assessment framework is defined and applied for this purpose. Following the guidelines proposed by Kitchenham & Charters in 2007, we performed a systematic literature review. A total of 82 papers were examined. Based on these papers, an assessment framework containing 10 criteria with specific metrics to evaluate MB-UIDEs was defined and 29 different environments were evaluated following these criteria. The evaluation shows that, although a strong progress has being achieved over the last years, the existing environments do not yet fully exploit the benefits and potentialities of MDD, nor do they adequately integrate UI design with application logic design and generation. Further research needs to be done to support the model-driven development of user interfaces and the co-design of the underlying application. The difficulty of use of the existing MB-UIDEs, the lack of UI design flexibility, and the lack of complete and integrated development support, are the main research gaps that need to be addressed.

A Interface com Usuário (IU) é um dos componentes mais complexos dos Sistemas de Informação (SI) modernos, já que é necessário alcançar uma comunicação satisfatória entre a IU e outras partes do código, além de oferecer consistência e desempenho aceitáveis [Bowen et al. 2020]. Abordagens de desenvolvimento baseado em modelos tem auxiliado na produtividade e padronização de IU. Este artigo propõe um Metamodelo de Apresentação para IU em Android possibilitando a produção de IU baseada em modelos. A partir de um estudo exploratório com SI para dispositivos Android, foi identificada a falta de padronização devido à política de publicação nessa plataforma. Um Metamodelo de Apresentação e um Estereótipo de IU foram desenvolvidos para a plataforma Android trazendo diretrizes e padrões da plataforma iOS, uma vez que tal plataforma possui diretrizes mais sólidas. Uma implementação do Estereótipo de IU para Android foi feita mostrando a viabilidade de utilizar o Metamodelo como um modelo executável. Os benefícios do Estereótipo de IU para Android incluem não apenas a construção e padronização, mas também a reutilização de SI para a plataforma Android.
