Multi-Location Software Model Completion
Alisa Welter, Christof Tinnes, Sven Apel
In model-driven engineering and beyond, software models are key development artifacts. In practice, they often grow to substantial size and complexity, undergoing thousands of modi…
From Developer Pairs to AI Copilots: A Comparative Study on Knowledge Transfer
Alisa Welter, Niklas Schneider, Tobias Dick +4
Knowledge transfer is fundamental to human collaboration and is therefore common in software engineering. Pair programming is a prominent instance. With the rise of AI coding assis…
The Silent Scientist: When Software Research Fails to Reach Its Audience
Marvin Wyrich, Christof Tinnes, Sebastian Baltes +1
If software research were a performance, it would be a thoughtful theater play -- full of rich content but confined to the traditional stage of academic publishing. Meanwhile, its…
Software Model Evolution with Large Language Models: Experiments on Simulated, Public, and Industrial Datasets
Christof Tinnes, Alisa Welter, Sven Apel
Modeling structure and behavior of software systems plays a crucial role in the industrial practice of software engineering. As with other software engineering artifacts, software…
