Welcome to the Christian Doppler Laboratory on Monitoring and Evolution of Very-Large-Scale Software Systems! The Christian Doppler Laboratory for Monitoring and Evolution of Very-Large-Scale Software Systems was started on February 1, 2013. After 7 successful years, the lab reached the planned end of its operation by the end of January 2020. However, a phasing-out period … Continue reading CDL MEVSS (2013-2020) →

Authors: Lukas Linsbauer, Felix Schwägerl, Thorsten Berger, Paul Grünbacher Abstract: Version control systems are an integral part of today’s software engineering. They facilitate the collaborative management of revisions (sequential versions) and variants (concurrent versions) of software systems under development. Typical version control systems maintain revisions of files and variants of whole software systems. Variants are … Continue reading Concepts of variation control systems →

Evaluating an Interactive Memory Analysis Tool: Findings from a Cognitive Walkthrough and a User Study Authors: Markus Weninger, Paul Grünbacher, Elias Gander, Andreas Schörgenhumer Abstract: Memory analysis tools are essential for finding and fixing anomalies in the memory usage of software systems (e.g., memory leaks). Although numerous tools are available, hardly any empirical studies exist … Continue reading Evaluating an Interactive Memory Analysis Tool: Findings from a Cognitive Walkthrough and a User Study →

Congratulations to Markus Weninger for receiving the “Best Presentation Award” at the 9th ACM/SPEC International Conference on Performance Engineering (ICPE 2018). Markus presented the paper “User-defined Classification and Multi-level Grouping of Objects in Memory Monitoring” (co-authored with Hanspeter Mössenböck).

Software unterliegt aufgrund neuer Anforderungen, Technologien und sich ändernder Einsatzumgebungen einem ständigen Wandel. Das 2013 gegründete Christian Doppler Labor MEVSS (Monitoring and Evolution of Very-Large-Scale Software Systems) entwickelt Methoden und Werkzeuge zur Überwachung, Anpassung und Weiterentwicklung komplexer Softwaresysteme. Unter der Leitung von Prof. Dr. Paul Grünbacher arbeiten JKU-WissenschafterInnen der Institute Software Systems Engineering und Systemsoftware … Continue reading Erfolgreiche Evaluierung des Labors →

The lab presented a paper and a tool demonstration at the 32nd Int’l Conference on Automated Software Engineering. The IEEE/ACM Automated Software Engineering (ASE) Conference series is the premier research forum to discuss foundations, techniques, and tools for automating the analysis, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance of large software systems. Tool Demonstration — Kritzinger, Lisa; … Continue reading Report from ASE’17 →
