MVICS: a repository and search tool towards holistic semantic-based precise component selection. (2013)
Journal Article
Liu, X., & Li, C. (2013). MVICS: a repository and search tool towards holistic semantic-based precise component selection. International journal of computers & technology, 5, 144-157

Driven by the continuous expansions of software applications and the increases in component varieties and sizes, the so-called component mismatch problem has become a more severe hurdle for component selection and integration. Although many component... Read More about MVICS: a repository and search tool towards holistic semantic-based precise component selection..

Evolution pattern verification for services evolution in clouds with model driven architecture. (2013)
Journal Article
Wang, Z., Chalmers, K., & Liu, X. (2013). Evolution pattern verification for services evolution in clouds with model driven architecture. International Journal for e-Learning Security, 3, 340-349. https://doi.org/10.20533/ijels.2046.4568.2013.0042

In this paper we will provide some discovered evolution patterns and its detailed underlying constitution components. Following the featured orientated model driven product line engineering approach for service evolution in clouds, an analysis on...

Jabber-based cross-domain efficient and privacy-ensuring context management framework. (2013)
Journal Article
Jaroucheh, Z., Liu, X., & Smith, S. (2013). Jabber-based cross-domain efficient and privacy-ensuring context management framework. International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications, 4, 84

In pervasive environments, context-aware applications require a global knowledge of the context information distributed in different spatial domains in order to establish context-based interactions. Therefore, the design of distributed storage, retri... Read More about Jabber-based cross-domain efficient and privacy-ensuring context management framework..

Ontology-based quality attributes prediction in component-based development (2010)
Journal Article
Li, C., Pooley, R., & Liu, X. (2010). Ontology-based quality attributes prediction in component-based development. International journal of computer science & information technology, 2, 12-29. https://doi.org/10.5121/ijcsit.2010.2502

Despite the success that Component-Based Development (CBD) has achieved so far, component mismatch remains as a big obstacle for wider and smoother component reuse. Mismatch refers that the selected component does not satisfy the functional requireme... Read More about Ontology-based quality attributes prediction in component-based development.

Automated responsive web services evolution through generative aspect-oriented component adaptation (2008)
Journal Article
Liu, X., Feng, Y., & Kerridge, J. (2008). Automated responsive web services evolution through generative aspect-oriented component adaptation. International Journal of Computer Applications in Technology, 31(1/2), 83-93. https://doi.org/10.1504/IJCAT.2008.017721

When building service oriented systems, it is often the case that existing web services do not perfectly match user requirements in target systems. To achieve smooth integration and high reusability of web services, mechanisms to support automated ev...

Support software evolution with abstraction rules and program knowledge patterns. (2002)
Journal Article
Teng, G., & Liu, X. (2002). Support software evolution with abstraction rules and program knowledge patterns. Asian-information-science-life, 1, 177-189

This paper advocates that reengineering is an effective means of legacy system evolution. Extracting formal specification semantically consistent to the original legacy system will facilitate further redesign and forward engineering greatly. The key...
