In many areas of software engineering, empirical studies are playing an increasingly important role. This stems from the fact that software technologies are often based on heurist...
The user interface is an integral part of any application. This is especially true for reverse engineering environments, since the understanding process depends both on the user...
The usefulness of design patterns in forward engineering is already well-known and several tools provide support for their application in the development of software systems. Whil...
