AbstractRecently there has been a revival of interest in feature analysis of software systems. Approaches to feature location have used a wide range of techniques such as dynamic analysis, static analysis, information retrieval and formal concept analysis. In this paper we introduce a novel approach to analyze the execution traces of features using Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI). Our goal is twofold. On the one hand we detect similarities between features based on the content of their traces, and on the other hand we categorize classes based on the frequency of the outgoing invocations involved in the traces. We apply our approach on two case studies and we discuss its benefits and drawbacks.

About my publications
Most of my early papers are related to my PhD thesis and deal with evolution analysis.
The essence of my PhD can be found in a journal article published in JSME.
Since 2005 I got involved in various projects and I co-authored publications on topics mostly in the reengineering area.
We reported on the Story of the Moose and the role of Smalltalk and meta-modeling in its development.
Other works relate to semantic analysis or dynamic analysis. A particular topic that continues to capture my attention is identifying how teams work. Thus, I worked on correlating authorship information with code duplication or feature development
I also got involved in dynamic analysis. I worked on identifying features and their evolution, and I participated in the development of object-flow analysis, a novel dynamic analysis that led to a publication that received the distinguished paper award at ECOOP 2008.
Visualization and interaction are crosscutting concerns in my research. The experience resulted in the development of Mondrian, and of Glamour.
