Refactoring, in spite of widely acknowledged as one of the best practices of object-oriented design and programming, still lacks quantitative grounds and efficient tools for tasks...
Accurate estimation of the worst-case execution time (WCET) of a program is important for real-time embedded software. Static WCET estimation involves program path analysis and ar...
Abstract. Refactoring is a technique for improving the design of existing programs without changing their behaviour. Wrangler is a tool built at the University of Kent to support E...
In embedded systems, memory is one of the most expensive resources. Due to this, program code size has turned out to be one of the most critical design constraints. Code compressi...
