A class diagram, as a graph, is a collection of static declarative model elements, such as classes, interfaces, and the relationships of their connections with each other. In this paper, class graphs axe examined within several Java software systems provided by Sun and IBM, and some new features are found. For a large-scale Java software system, its in-degree distribution tends to an exponential distribution, while its out-degree and degree distributions reveal the power-law behaviour. And then a directed preferential-random model is established to describe the corresponding degree distribution features and evolve large-scale Java software systems.展开更多

文摘The rapid development of new-quality productive forces(NQPF)has intensified the demand for high-level innovative talent.As a representative of NQPF,generative artificial intelligence(GenAI)offers powerful tools to reshape talent cultivation but also presents significant challenges,including skill hollowing,ethical risks,and a growing disconnect between education and industry needs.Currently,graduate-level software engineering education struggles with outdated curricula and insufficient alignment with practical demands.In this paper,we propose a dual-core collaborative framework driven by“GenAI technology”and“industry demand”.Under this framework,we design a four-dimensional capability development path to enhance graduate students’innovation in software engineering practice.This path focuses on①scientific research innovation,②engineering problem-solving,③cross-domain collaborative evolution,and④ethical risk governance.The proposed approach promotes a shift from traditional knowledge transfer to human-machine collaborative innovation,aligning talent cultivation with the demands of the NQPF.

文摘The rapid development of artificial intelligence(AI)has placed significant pressure on universities to rethink how they train software engineering students.Tools like GitHub Copilot can now generate basic code in seconds.This raises important questions:What is the value of traditional programming education?What role should instructors play when AI becomes a powerful teaching assistant?How should the goals of software engineering programs change as companies increasingly use AI to handle coding tasks?This paper explores the key challenges AI brings to software engineering education and proposes practical strategies for updating talent development models to meet these changes.

文摘Small angle x-ray scattering(SAXS)is an advanced technique for characterizing the particle size distribution(PSD)of nanoparticles.However,the ill-posed nature of inverse problems in SAXS data analysis often reduces the accuracy of conventional methods.This article proposes a user-friendly software for PSD analysis,GranuSAS,which employs an algorithm that integrates truncated singular value decomposition(TSVD)with the Chahine method.This approach employs TSVD for data preprocessing,generating a set of initial solutions with noise suppression.A high-quality initial solution is subsequently selected via the L-curve method.This selected candidate solution is then iteratively refined by the Chahine algorithm,enforcing constraints such as non-negativity and improving physical interpretability.Most importantly,GranuSAS employs a parallel architecture that simultaneously yields inversion results from multiple shape models and,by evaluating the accuracy of each model's reconstructed scattering curve,offers a suggestion for model selection in material systems.To systematically validate the accuracy and efficiency of the software,verification was performed using both simulated and experimental datasets.The results demonstrate that the proposed software delivers both satisfactory accuracy and reliable computational efficiency.It provides an easy-to-use and reliable tool for researchers in materials science,helping them fully exploit the potential of SAXS in nanoparticle characterization.
文摘Promoting the integration of industry and education and deepening school-enterprise cooperation in talent cultivation and collaborative innovation are long-term goals of higher education.This paper systematically analyzes the multiple perspectives,practical challenges,and implementation paths of in-depth school-enterprise cooperation.Based on the typical case of school-enterprise cooperation at the School of Information and Software Engineering,University of Electronic Science and Technology of China(UESTC),this paper explores the innovative practices of in-depth school-enterprise cooperation in talent cultivation,scientific research,and faculty construction.It also explores a multi-party collaborative mechanism from the perspectives of universities,enterprises,students,and the government.By policy guidance,resource integration,and benefit sharing,this mechanism achieves in-depth integration of industry and education,providing references and examples for further development of school-enterprise cooperation in the new era.
文摘Faculty development serves as a critical foundation for ensuring the quality of higher education.To meet the needs of cultivating specialized software talents and promoting teaching reform,it is particularly crucial to build a faculty team with knowledge in industry application fields and experience in domestic software development.This paper first analyzes the new requirements for the faculty imposed by the cultivation of specialized software talents and the existing problems in the current faculty.Then,in response to these issues,it introduces the reforms and explorations carried out by the School of Software Engineering at Beijing Jiaotong University in the construction of the faculty for cultivating specialized software talents.The aim is to build a high-caliber and diversified faculty that boasts strong political qualities,interdisciplinary integration,complementary advantages between full-time and part-time faculty,and in-depth integration of industry and education.
文摘Test case prioritization and ranking play a crucial role in software testing by improving fault detection efficiency and ensuring software reliability.While prioritization selects the most relevant test cases for optimal coverage,ranking further refines their execution order to detect critical faults earlier.This study investigates machine learning techniques to enhance both prioritization and ranking,contributing to more effective and efficient testing processes.We first employ advanced feature engineering alongside ensemble models,including Gradient Boosted,Support Vector Machines,Random Forests,and Naive Bayes classifiers to optimize test case prioritization,achieving an accuracy score of 0.98847 and significantly improving the Average Percentage of Fault Detection(APFD).Subsequently,we introduce a deep Q-learning framework combined with a Genetic Algorithm(GA)to refine test case ranking within priority levels.This approach achieves a rank accuracy of 0.9172,demonstrating robust performance despite the increasing computational demands of specialized variation operators.Our findings highlight the effectiveness of stacked ensemble learning and reinforcement learning in optimizing test case prioritization and ranking.This integrated approach improves testing efficiency,reduces late-stage defects,and improves overall software stability.The study provides valuable information for AI-driven testing frameworks,paving the way for more intelligent and adaptive software quality assurance methodologies.
