• Abstract: Architecture recovery tools help software engineers obtain an overview of their software systems during all phases of the software development lifecycle. This is especially important for microservice applications because their distributed nature makes it more challenging to oversee the architecture. Various tools and techniques for this task are presented in academic and grey literature sources. Practitioners and researchers can benefit from a comprehensive overview of these tools and their abilities. However, no such overview exists that is based on executing the identified tools and assessing their outputs regarding effectiveness. With the study described in this paper, we plan to first identify static analysis architecture recovery tools for microservice applications via a multi-vocal literature review, and then execute them on a common dataset and compare the measured effectiveness in architecture recovery. We will focus on static approaches because they are also suitable for integration into fast-paced CI/CD pipelines.

• Towards Completeness-Oriented Tool Retrieval for Large Language Models [60.733557487886635]
  Real-world systems often incorporate a wide array of tools, making it impractical to input all tools into Large Language Models. Existing tool retrieval methods primarily focus on semantic matching between user queries and tool descriptions. We propose a novel modelagnostic COllaborative Learning-based Tool Retrieval approach, COLT, which captures not only the semantic similarities between user queries and tool descriptions but also takes into account the collaborative information of tools.
