Xinrong Xie, Denys Poshyvanyk, Andrian Marcus
2006 Proceeding of the 28th international conference on Software engineering - ICSE '06  
The paper presents a set of tools that work in conjunction to support concept location in software. One of the tools, IRiSS (Information Retrieval based Software Search), is a search engine, designed and implemented to allow searching the source code of a software system. The other tool, sv3D (source viewer 3D), is a visualization front end, designed to represent software data with 3D renderings. The two tools are integrated with MS Visual Studio, with IRiSS providing the infrastructure for
