A Complexity Measure
TLDR
Several properties of the graph-theoretic complexity are proved which show, for example, that complexity is independent of physical size and complexity depends only on the decision structure of a program.Abstract:
This paper describes a graph-theoretic complexity measure and illustrates how it can be used to manage and control program complexity. The paper first explains how the graph-theory concepts apply and gives an intuitive explanation of the graph concepts in programming terms. The control graphs of several actual Fortran programs are then presented to illustrate the correlation between intuitive complexity and the graph-theoretic complexity. Several properties of the graph-theoretic complexity are then proved which show, for example, that complexity is independent of physical size (adding or subtracting functional statements leaves complexity unchanged) and complexity depends only on the decision structure of a program.read more

Correlations between Internal Software Metrics and Software Dependability in a Large Population of Small C/C++ Programs
TL;DR: This paper focuses on several common internal metrics: Lines of Code, number of comments, Halstead Volume and McCabe's Cyclomatic Complexity, and tries to find relations between these internal software metrics and metrics of software dependability: Probability of Failure on Demand and number of defects.

How to Deal with the Complexity of Future Cyber-Physical Systems?
Martin Törngren,Paul T. Grogan +1 more
TL;DR: The causes and effects of complexity, both in general and specific to CPS, are described, the evolution of complexity is considered, and limitations of current methodologies and organizations for dealing with future CPS are identified.

Software Vulnerability Discovery via Learning Multi-Domain Knowledge Bases
TL;DR: A deep-learning-based framework that utilizes transferable knowledge from pre-existing data sources for vulnerability detection and combines the heterogeneous data sources to learn unified representations of the patterns of the vulnerable source codes that are feasible and effective, and transferable for real-world vulnerability detection.

Research Focuses, Trends, and Major Findings on Project Complexity: A Bibliometric Network Analysis of 50 Years of Project Complexity Research
TL;DR: The findings suggest that project complexity is defined by dimensions that include structural, uncertainty, novelty, dynamics, pace, social-political, and regulative, and it is necessary to develop capabilities to manage complex projects, not only in the organization or at the team level, but also through the project's supply chain.

TL;DR: For serious students of structured programming, and also for language designers, Knuth's "Structured Programming with go to Statements" is probably the paper to read.

Analysis of structured programs
TL;DR: It is shown that an arbitrary program P is reducible to a D-chart if and only if P does not contain a loop with two distinct exits.

A genealogy of control structures
TL;DR: It is argued further that there is insufficient evidence to warrant more than if-then-else, while-do, and their variants and the importance of one-in, one-out control structures as operational abstractions.
