“…Agricultural products are an indispensable part of life, the price changes of agricultural products directly affect the daily life of the majority of residents, especially the price of ginger, it has the characteristics of frequent fluctuation, and affects the real income and production enthusiasm of farmers; therefore, it is very important to grasp the price information of agricultural products in all regions in a timely manner. At present, because different managers in the network update the prices of agricultural products with different frequencies, after a long period of observation, the difference of update frequency among the sampled subjects was statistically calculated, as shown in Figure 2 [10].…”

In order to improve prices of ginger products information service, promote the transmission and interaction between prices of ginger products information data, agricultural products are roughly divided into nine categories. Through network research, the price information of agricultural products on the Internet is analyzed. According to the hierarchical theory of information processing, three types of semantic heterogeneity of schema, contextual data, and individual anomaly data with hierarchical progressive relationship are proposed. The results show that almost 100% of the main attributes exist in the network information sources, in addition, more than 80% of the websites have type differentiation of agricultural products, and less is provided for attributes such as specification and origin, which also have an impact on the price of agricultural products. Through the network information source, the attribute characteristics of multisource network prices of ginger products information are grasped, and the classification characteristics of existing semantic heterogeneity are combined, and it provides a strong support for constructing the classification system of semantic heterogeneity of prices of ginger products information.

“…A high degree of cohesion maximizes the understandability and maintainability of the system [13], [17]. Cohesion is a critical indicator to measure the quality of software design, and it contributes to the development of other software activities such as software failure prediction [15], [26], software modularization [14], identifying reusable components, and numerous other activities. In objectoriented programming languages, the class is often the design unit, and the members of a class refer to the methods and attributes in the class.…”

Quality Evaluation of Structural Design in Software Reverse Engineering: A Focus On Cohesion

Software reverse engineering (SRE) plays a crucial role in contemporary software environments. Software developers may implement a system first then use SRE tools to generate design content such as the Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagrams. In the literature of SRE, studies mostly focus on how precisely the conversion can reflect the system, there is, however, little or no research that further looks into the quality of the converted results. Therefore, this paper presents an online knowledgebased ontological SRE system, OntRECoh, for quality evaluation of converted UML structural models. OntRECoh features a domain-specific knowledge base that focuses on cohesion design and a rule-based inference engine for rating the cohesion scores of a tested system that is written in Java code and providing improvement recommendations through its Web-based interface. Furthermore, in the work of evaluation, OntRECoh measures both static and dynamic cohesion of the tested system that addresses not only the design aspects but also the implementation aspects, for the evaluation to be more comprehensive and synthetic in the SRE context.

“…The results show that the proposed approach can build a modularization close to human experts, which may be helpful in understanding MPL software systems. In 2020, the same authors proposed a method to improve the modularization quality of heterogeneous MPL software systems by unifying structural and semantic concepts [17]. Admittedly, architecture quality (e.g., modularity) of MPL software systems is worth further and deeper research.…”

Modern software systems, such as Spark, are usually written in multiple programming languages (PLs). Besides benefiting from code reuse, such systems can also take advantages of specific PLs to implement certain features, to meet various quality needs, and to improve development efficiency. In this context, a change to such systems may need to modify source files written in different PLs. We define a multi-programminglanguage commit (MPLC) in a version control system (e.g., Git) as a commit that involves modified source files written in two or more PLs. To our knowledge, the phenomenon of MPLCs in software development has not been explored yet. In light of the potential impact of MPLCs on development difficulty and software quality, we performed an empirical study to understand the state of MPLCs, their change complexity, as well as their impact on open time of issues and bug proneness of source files in real-life software projects. By exploring the MPLCs in 20 nontrivial Apache projects with 205,994 commits, we obtained the following findings: (1) 9% of the commits from all the projects are MPLCs, and the proportion of MPLCs in 80% of the projects goes to a relatively stable level; (2) more than 90% of the MPLCs from all the projects involve source files written in two PLs; (3) the change complexity of MPLCs is significantly higher than that of non-MPLCs in all projects; (4) issues fixed in MPLCs take significantly longer to be resolved than issues fixed in non-MPLCs in 80% of the projects; and (5) source files that have been modified in MPLCs tend to be more bug-prone than source files that have never been modified in MPLCs. These findings provide practitioners with useful insights on the architecture design and quality management of software systems written in multiple PLs.
