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...
Development and deployment via components offers the possibility of prolific software reuse. However, to achieve this potential in a component-rich environment, it is necessary to...
The architecture of an operating system, e.g. micro kernel or monolithic kernel, is usually seen as something static. Even during the long lasting evolution of operating system co...
: Software evolves as requirements or technologies change. Tremendous efforts are often needed to support software evolution as evolution may involve reverse engineering and subseq...
