Reengineering the Modularity of OO Systems

This paper describes a validation experiment of a quantitative approach to the modularization of object oriented systems based on Cluster Analysis. A sample of some relatively large OO systems was used in this experiment. The similarity between classes was computed on the basis of their relative couplings, classified according to a taxonomy framework. The results allow to conclude on the applicability of the proposed approach.
