Automatic indexing of software artifacts
Marisa Girardi, Bertrand Ibrahim · 2002
This paper describes the classification mechanism of ROSA, a software reuse system based on the processing of the natural language descriptions of software artifacts. The system supports the automatic indexing of components by acquiring lexical, syntactic and semantic information from software descriptions. Major goals of the approach are cost-effectiveness and retrieval precision. Some results from a first experiment with the classification system are discussed.>
