Toward Refactoring of DMARF and GIPSY Case Studies -- a Team 10 SOEN6471-S14 Project Report
This is an incremental study focused on software engineering students or researchers interested in refactoring and quality assessment of specific open-source systems.
The report conducted a background study on two open-source systems, GIPSY and DMARF, analyzing their architectures and evaluating their quality metrics using the Logiscope tool, but did not present specific results or numbers.
The intent of this report is to do a background study of the two given OSS case study systems namely GIPSY and DMARF. It is a wide research area in which different studies are being carried out to get the most out of it. It begins with a formal introduction of the two systems and advance with the complex architecture of both. GIPSY (General Intensional Programming System) is a multi-intensional programming system that delivers as a framework for compiling and executing programs written in Lucid Programming Languages. DMARF (Distributed Modular Audio Recognition Framework) is a Java based research platform that acts as a library in applications. As these systems are in their evolving phase and a lot of research is being done upon these topics, it gives us motivation to be a part of this research to get a deeper look into the architectures of both the systems. For the evaluation of quality of metrics of the two open source systems, we have used a tool namely Logiscope. It is a tool to automate the code reviews by providing information based on software metrics and graphs.
