Improving the tokenisation of identifier names

Identifier names are the main vehicle for semantic information during program comprehension. For tool-supported program comprehension tasks, including concept location and requirements traceability, identifier names need to be tokenised into their semantic constituents. In this paper we present an approach to the automated tokenisation of identifier names that improves on existing techniques in two ways. First, it improves the tokenisation accuracy for single-case identifier names and for identifier names containing digits, which existing techniques largely ignore. Second, performance gains over existing techniques are achieved using smaller oracles, making the approach easier to deploy. Accuracy was evaluated by comparing our algorithm to manual tokenizations of 28,000 identifier names drawn from 60 well-known open source Java projects totalling 16.5 MSLOC. Moreover, the projects were used to perform a study of identifier tokenisation features (single case, camel case, use of digits, etc.) per object-oriented construct (class names, method names, local variable names, etc.), thus providing an insight into naming conventions in industrial-scale object-oriented code. Our tokenisation tool and datasets are publicly available

Interinstitutional dimension concerning planning, training and force engagement as response to the hybrid war

The proliferation of risks and unconventional threats, especially the hybrid ones, requires the finding of integrated security solutions, both nationally and internationally. The beginning of the millennium reveals new ideas for conducting military conflicts. Thus, within the future confrontations characterized by a high degree of complexity, awareness of the need and development of some mechanisms necessary for the inter-institutional integration and the effects of the actions of all power tools, military and civilian, is a priority of major significance. In this regard, the present article presents some mechanisms, guidelines and methods that could lead to inter-institutional integration
