The use of design patterns in a software system can provide strong indications about the rationale behind the system’s design. As a result, automating the detection of design pa...
Many engineers are still reluctant to adopt advanced object-oriented technologies (such as high modularity, dynamic binding, automatic garbage collection, etc.) for embedded syste...
It is well known that software maintenance and evolution are expensive activities, both in terms of invested time and money. Reverse engineering activities support the obtainment ...
Design patterns provide a medium-grained ion and can be used as an effective tool for understanding object-oriented systems. This paper presents a simple tool for the extraction o...
Recovering design patterns can enhance existing source code analysis tools by bringing program understanding to the design level. This paper presents a new, fully automated patter...
