Date: Thursday, December 02, 2021
Time: 9:30AM-10:00AM
Place: online and Ljubljana (Slovenia)
Title: DECODER, an OSS Platform to reduce the complexity of source code
Speaker: Pierre-Yves Gibello (OW2)
Official EBDVF website

Abstract:
With the European DECODER Project, an ongoing H2020 collaborative research and innovation project, all stakeholders in business applications can benefit from advanced analysis in order to produce more stable and secure services.

Turning as best as possible code artefacts into formal data reduces the maintenance costs and thus the total costs of ownership of software improvements. Thanks to the DECODER platform, developers, testers and maintainers can collaborate around a central persistent knowledge database. They obtain an augmented view of integrated software code through a combination of Natural Language Processing techniques, Machine Learning and Formal Methods.

DECODER Platform: Big Software Discovery and Analysis

Abstract: The DECODER open source platform combines information from different sources to share big software knowledge between developers, testers and maintainers. This centralized knowledge contains very heterogeneous documents (code, comments, documentation, formal specifications, tests and static analysis reports, etc.). A set of NLP-based tools is trained to extract relevant semantic information and find correspondences between the documents, either to provide accurate code summarization or to generate a formal view of a plain-text document, which can then be fed to code analyzers.
