Paper Abstract:
|
Software development today means, to a large extend, integrating existing software components. An important task of the architect of a software solution is to identify suitable software components. Whereas semantic search engines have gained popularity in the last decade, semantic search engines for finding software components are not yet in widespread use. The paper presents the concept for a semantic search engine for software components called SoftwareFinder. SoftwareFinder uses a simple ontology for normalizing the tag sets of various software hosting sites, for providing a semantic AutoSuggest service and a semantic faceted search, and for recommending similar software components. SoftwareFinder has been implemented prototypically and exhibits a good user experience as well as a good run-time performance. |
