An approach to recover object oriented design patterns from design and code is presented. The pattern recovery process is based on a multi-stage filtering strategy to avoid combin...

In re-engineering object-oriented legacy code, it is frequently useful to introduce a design pattern in order to improve specific non-functional requirements (e.g., maintainabili...
Several decades of software engineering research confirm that effective reuse is the only realistic approach to meeting the ever-increasing demands on the software industry. Over ...
Software designs decay over time. While most studies focus on decay at the system level, this research studies design decay on well understood micro architectures, design patterns...
Many engineers are still reluctant to adopt advanced object-oriented technologies (such as high modularity, dynamic binding, automatic garbage collection, etc.) for embedded syste...
