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...
Software evolution analysis is concerned with analysis of artifacts produced during a software systems life-cycle. Execution traces produced from instrumented code reflect a syst...
