As a program evolves, it becomes increasingly difficult to understand and reason about changes in the source code. Eventually, if enough changes are made, reverse engineering and ...
Recovering design patterns can enhance existing source code analysis tools by bringing program understanding to the design level. This paper presents a new, fully automated patter...
One of the challenges of reverse engineering is the extraction of a specification from source code. Our work proposes a singular approach to the construction of reverse engineerin...

The usefulness of design patterns in forward engineering is already well-known and several tools provide support for their application in the development of software systems. Whil...
An approach to system verification is described in which design artefacts produced during forward engineering are automatically compared to corresponding artefacts produced during...
