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

Understanding the automated parameter optimization on transfer learning for cross-project defect prediction: an empirical study
TL;DR: Automated parameter optimization substantially improves the defect prediction performance of 77% CPDP techniques with a manageable computational cost and is of ultimate importance in C PDP.

An empirical validation of object-oriented class complexity metrics and their ability to predict error-prone classes in highly iterative, or agile, software: a case study
TL;DR: This study explores the predictive ability of several complexity-related metrics for OO software that have not been heavily validated by exploring their ability to measure quality in an evolutionary software process, and shows that these metrics are useful in identifying fault-prone classes in software developed using highly iterative or agile software development processes.

Using concept analysis to detect co-change patterns
TL;DR: A heuristic is proposed that dramatically eliminate the false positives in concept analysis and is applied on two case studies and it is shown how it can identify hidden dependencies and detect bad smells.

AUTOSAR-ready Light Software Architecture for Automotive Embedded Control Systems
TL;DR: This paper presents AUTosAR-ready light software architecture (AUTOSAR-Lite), which is a light weighted version of the AUTOSAR, for automotive embedded control systems that reduces overhead problems caused by the excessive standard specifications of AUTOSar.

Structured Programming with go to Statements
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.
