Language integration is an important issue in the area of software maintenance and reengineering. We describe a novel solution in this area: automatically applied and composed spl...
Software entropy is a phenomenon where repeated changes gradually degrade the structure of the system, making it hard to understand and maintain. This phenomenon imposes challenge...
Despite the automated refactoring support provided by today's IDEs many program transformations that are easy to conceptualize-such as improving the implementation of a desig...
Autonomic computing systems reduce software maintenance costs and management complexity by taking on the responsibility for their configuration, optimization, healing, and protect...
Programmers must attain knowledge about a system before they can perform specific software maintenance tasks on it. Traditionally, computer scientists have described the activity ...
