Many developers utilize specific APIs to develop software, and to identify the use of a particular API, a developer can refer to a website that provides the API or can retrieve the API from the web. However, the site that provides the API does not necessarily provide guidance on how to use it while it can be partially provided in many other cases. In this paper, we propose a novel system JACE (Java AST collocation-pattern extractor) as a method to reuse commonly-used code as a supplement. The JACE extracts the API call nodes, collocation patterns and analyzes the relations between the collocations to extract significant API patterns from the source code. The following experiment was performed to verify the accuracy of a defined pattern: 794 open source projects were analyzed to extract about 15M API call nodes. Then, the Eclipse plug-in test program was utilized to retrieve the pattern using the top 10 classes of API call nodes. Finally, the code search results from reference pages of the API classes and the Searchcode [1] were compared with the test program results.

Real-time support of embedded OS is not optional, but essential in contemporary embedded systems. In order to achieve these system#s real-time property, it is crucial that schedulability analysis for tasks having its property have been accomplished before system execution. Acquiring Worst-Case Execution Time(WCET) of task is a core part of schedulability analysis. Because traditional WCET tools analyze only its estimation of application task(i.e. program), it is not considered that application tasks are affected by scheduling primitives(e.g. scheduler, interrupt service routine, etc.) of OS when it schedules them. In this paper, we design and implement WCET analysis tool which deliberates on scheduling primitives of system using embedded Linux widely used in embedded OSes. This tool can estimate either WCET of normal application programs or corresponding primitives which have an influence on schduling property in embedded Linux kernel. Therefore, precision of estimation about schedulability analysis is improved. We develop this tool as Eclipse#s plug-in to work properly in any platform and support convenient interface or functionality for user.

A model-based integrated development tool for the development of USN application programs is proposed in this paper. The proposed tool has been implemented as a plug-in for Eclipse platform. The tool consists of Graphical User Interface, Modeler, Configuration Information Generator, Validity Checker, Source Code Generator and Templates Storage. Developers can implement USN applications from models of sensor networks using the tool. The developer can implement USN applications by automatic generation of execution code of each node in the sensor network after he/she designs a model of the sensor network. The configuration information of each node is automatically generated from the validated USN model. Then, the execution code is automatically generated using the configuration information and the predefined templates. Through the tool of this paper, developers can easily implement valid USN applications even if they do not know the details of low-level information. Also, a large number of application programs can be generated at once because application programs are generated from sensor network model instead of models of applications. Accordingly, the development effort of USN applications will be decreased and developers can consistently construct USN applications from USN models using the proposed tool.
