: Detection of instances of design patterns is useful for the software maintenance. This paper proposes a new framework for the automated detection of instances of design patterns....
We present a method to detect and visualize evolution patterns in C++ source code. Our method consists of three steps. First, we extract an annotated syntax tree (AST) from each v...
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...
