Explore the application of data mining techniques in software engineering, specifically in the synthesis of agent systems. Object mining based on rough set theory is implemented to create JavaBeans with minimal attributes and rules as methods.

Synthesis of Objects:A Rough Sets Approach to Automatic Construction and Maintenance of Software Components Anders Torvill Bjorvand Department of Informatics University of Oslo torvill@trolldata.no http://www.trolldata.no/torvill/
Objective • We want to apply data mining techniques in the domain of software engineering. • We want to show that this general principle can be applied to the synthesis of agent systems.
Object Mining • By analyzing a data set, we obtain a minimal set of attributes/features (reduct) and a set of rules. • A software component with these attributes as properties and the rules as its methods can easily be created
Rough Enough • Rough Enough is a general experimental system for data mining based on rough set theory. • Object Mining has been implemented in Rough Enough through the creation of JavaBeans.
Future Work - I • To analyze and define both qualitatively and quantitatively the classes of objects that may be produced by object mining. • To define measures to preserve and handle correctness issues. • inconsistency (several possible solutions) • indeterminacy (no solution)
Future Work - II • Synthesis of embedded decision support systems • One of the benefits of such a system is that it can be very lightweight. It is also selfcontained.
