An empirical study on the evolution of design patterns
Design patterns are solutions to recurring design problems, conceived to increase benefits in terms of reuse, code quality and, above all, maintainability and resilience to change...

Characterizing the Evolution of Class Hierarchies
Analyzing historical information can show how a software system evolved into its current state, which parts of the system are stable and which have changed more. However, historic...

An Empirical Study of Maintainability in Aspect-Oriented System Evolution Using Coupling Metrics
In this paper, we propose a fine-grained coupling metrics suite for aspect-oriented (AO) systems, to measure software changes during system evolution. We also present a correlati...

Micro pattern evolution
When analyzing the evolution history of a software project, we wish to develop results that generalize across projects. One approach is to analyze design patterns, permitting char...

Functional Paleontology: System Evolution as the User Sees It
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...
