The craft of software understanding and verification can benefit from technologies that enable evolution toward a true engineering discipline. In current practice, software develo...
—A measure of how a class is impacted during design evolution is presented. The history of design changes that involve a given class is the basis for the measure. Classes that ar...

It has long been accepted that requirements analysis should precede architectural design and implementation, but in software evolution and reverse engineering this concern with bl...
This paper presents a graph transformation based approach to design pattern evolution. An evolution of a design pattern includes modifications of pattern elements, such as classes...
Embedded Systems are components integrating software and hardware jointly and specifically designed to provide given functionalities. These components may be used in many different...
