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...
Crosscutting concerns consist in software system features having the implementation spread across modules as tangled and scattered code. In many cases, these crosscutting concerns...

A common belief is that software designs decay as systems evolve. This research examines the extent to which software designs actually decay by studying the aging of design patter...
It is shown how software metrics and architectural patterns can be used for the management of software evolution. In the presented architecture-centric software evolutionmethod th...
