Smart Knowledge Transfer using Google-like Search
This addresses software maintenance issues for developers, but appears incremental as it adapts existing search concepts to a specific domain.
The authors tackled the problem of high software maintenance costs caused by program comprehension challenges by proposing SMARTKT, a search framework that builds a semantic graph from application knowledge to enable Google-like queries, resulting in a method that converts program comprehension into a search problem.
To address the issue of rising software maintenance cost due to program comprehension challenges, we propose SMARTKT (Smart Knowledge Transfer), a search framework, which extracts and integrates knowledge related to various aspects of an application in form of a semantic graph. This graph supports syntax and semantic queries and converts the process of program comprehension into a {\em google-like} search problem.
