Many reverse-engineering tools have been developed to detract representations from source code. Yet, most of these tools completely ignore recovery of the all-important rationale ...
Components-based development is promising in improving software development productivity and software quality by re-using existing well-tested software components. However, one of...
This paper reports the results of exploratory research to develop a pilot pattern language for systems engineers at BAE SYSTEMS. The pattern language was designed to encapsulate k...
Abstract. Refinement concepts, such as procedural and data refinement, are among the most important ideas of software engineering. In this paper, we investigate the idea of design ...
Design pattern detection is a reverse engineering methodology that helps software engineers to analyze and understand legacy software by recovering its design and thereby aiding i...
