We examine eleven large open source software systems and present empirical evidence for the existence of fractal structures in software evolution. In our study, fractal structures...
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...
The current trend of increasingly larger Web-based applications makes scalability the key challenge when developing, deploying, and maintaining data centers. At the same time, the ...
Software evolution research inherently has several resourceintensive logistical constraints. Archived project artifacts, such as those found in source code repositories and bug tr...
