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...
Design patterns have been used in object-oriented frameworks such as the IBM San Francisco framework, Apple's Rhaspody, OpenStep, and WebObjects, and DIWB. However, few guide...
There is an undeniable demand to capture already proven and matured object-oriented design so that building reusable object-oriented software does not always have to start from scr...
Evidence suggests that as software ages the original realizations of design patterns remain in place, and participants in design pattern realizations accumulate “grime” – no...
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 ...
