Code clones (i.e., duplicate sections of code) can be scattered throughout the source files of a program. Manually evaluating group of such clones requires observing each clone in its origina location (i.e., opening each file and finding the source location o each clone), which can be a time-consuming process. As a alternative, this paper introduces a technique that localizes th representation of code clones to provide a summary of th properties of two or more clones in one location. In our approach the results of a clone detection tool are analyzed in an automate manner to determine the properties (i.e., similarities an differences) of the clones. These properties are visualized directl within the source editor. The localized representation is realize as part of the features of an Eclipse plug-in called CeDAR. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Configuration of feature models in software product-lines typically involves manipulating a model to modify the feature selections and analyzing the model to ensure that no configuration constraints are violated. In order to capture and reuse configuration knowledge from different users, model transformation and constraint languages can be used to specify and automate the constraint checking and model manipulation processes. However, this approach presents challenges to general end-users (e.g., domain experts who may not be programmers) who do not have experience using these languages. This paper presents a demonstration-based technique to support the capture and reuse of feature model configurations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Model evolution is an essential activity in software system modeling, which is traditionally supported by manual editing or writing model transformation rules. However, the current state of practice for model evolution presents challenges to those who are unfamiliar with model transformation languages or metamodel definitions. This demonstration presents a demonstration-based approach that assists end-users through automation of model evolution tasks (e.g., refactoring, model scaling, and aspect weaving).

Models are an important tool in conquering the increasing complexity of modern software systems. Key industries are strategically directing their development environments towards more extensive use of modeling techniques. MiSE 2015 aimed to understand, through critical analysis, the current and future uses of models in the engineering of software-intensive systems. The MiSE workshop series has proven to be an effective forum for discussing modeling techniques from both the MDE and software engineering perspectives. An important goal of this workshop is to foster exchange between these two communities. In 2015 the focus was on considering the current state of tool support and the challenges that need to be addressed to improve the maturity of tools. There was also analysis of successful applications of modeling techniques in specific application domains, with attempts to determine how the participants' experiences can be carried over to other domains.

Mobile-enabled systems make use of mobile devices, RFID tags, sensor nodes, and other computing-enabled mobile devices to gather contextual data from users and the surrounding changing environment. Such systems produce computational data that can be stored and used in the field, shared between mobile and resident devices, and potentially uploaded to local servers or the cloud - a distributed, heterogeneous, context-aware, data production and consumption paradigm. Mobile-enabled systems have characteristics that make them different from traditional systems, such as limited resources, increased vulnerability, performance and reliability variability, and a finite energy source. There is significantly higher unpredictability in the execution environment of mobile apps. This workshop brings together experts from the software engineering and mobile computing communities - with notable participation from researchers and practitioners in the field of distributed systems, enterprise systems, cloud systems, ubiquitous computing, wireless sensor networks, and pervasive computing - to share results and open issues in the area of software engineering of mobile-enabled systems.

Key industries are strategically directing their development environments towards more extensive use of modeling techniques. This workshop sought to understand, through critical analysis, the current and future uses of models in the engineering of software-intensive systems. The MISE-workshop series has proven to be an effective forum for discussing modeling techniques from the MDD and the software engineering perspectives. An important goal of this workshop was to foster exchange between these two communities. The 2013 Modeling in Software Engineering (MiSE) workshop was held at ICSE 2013 in San Francisco, California, during May 18- 19, 2013. The focus this year was analysis of successful applications of modeling techniques in specific application domains to determine how experiences can be carried over to other domains.
