Traceability links between software artifacts can assist in several software development tasks. There are some automatic traceability recovery methods to ease managing the massive number of software artifacts and their relationships. However, they cannot work well for software artifacts whose description are different in terms of language or abstract level. To cover weakness of them, herein we propose Connecting Links Method (CLM), which recovers transitive traceability links between two artifacts by intermediating the third artifact. In order to apply CLM for general use without limitation of software artifact types, we have designed the standardized method to calculate relation score of transitive traceability links using the scores of direct traceability links between three artifacts. Furthermore, we propose improvement of CLM by considering software version. Then, we have evaluated CLM by applying it to three software products. As a result, we have confirmed that CLM has the potential to be more applicable for software artifacts whose language type or vocabulary are different than previous methods using textual similarity.

*Call for Participation*

AsianPLoP 2019
8th Asian Conference on Pattern Languages of Programs
Mar 20-22, 2019, Tokyo, Japan
http://asianplop.org
https://pl.csie.ntut.edu.tw/asianplop2019/

PLoP 2019 is a PLoP(R) Conference sanctioned by the Hillside Group.
PLoP is a registered trademark of the Hillside Group.

*Objective and Motivation*

A pattern is a solution to a recurring problem in a certain context
where numerous forces are felt. Patterns enable people to share
experience-based proven solutions in designing products, managing
processes, projects and organizations, and communicating with each
other more efficiently and effectively.

Asian Conference on Pattern Languages of Programs (AsianPLoP) will
take place for the eighth time, as a premier event for pattern authors
and users to get together, discuss and learn more about patterns and
pattern languages in the Asia region as well as other regions. The
purpose of AsianPLoP is to promote development of patterns, pattern
languages, technologies and experiences of patterns primarily about
software as well as domains.

Hironori Washizaki, Nobukazu Yoshioka, Atsuo Hazeyama, Takehisa Kato, Haruhiko Kaiya, Shinpei Ogata, Takao Okubo and Eduardo B. Fernandez, “Landscape of IoT Patterns,” short paper, 1st International Workshop on Software Engineering Research & Practices for the Internet of Things (SERP4IoT 2019), Colocated with the 41st ACM/IEEE International Conference on Software Engineering ICSE 2019, Montréal, QC, Canada: Monday 27 May 2019.

Patterns are encapsulations of problems and solutions under specific contexts. As the industry is realizing many successes (and failures) in IoT systems development and operations, many IoT patterns have been published such as IoT design patterns and IoT architecture patterns. Because these patterns are not well classified, their adoption does not live up to their potential. To understand the reasons, this paper analyzes an extensive set of published IoT architecture and design patterns according to several dimensions and outlines directions for improvements in publishing and adopting IoT patterns.
