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...
Most agent systems today are closed and static. That is, one uses Agent-Oriented Software Engineering techniques to build agent systems in which the set of agents is specified ahe...
Design patterns describe good solutions to common and recurring problems. The applications of design patterns may vary in different layouts, which pose challenges for recovering a...
Design patterns encode proven solutions to recurring design problems. To use a design pattern properly, we need to 1) understand the design problem the pattern resolves, 2) recogn...
Security design patterns have been proposed recently as a tool for the improvement of software security during the architecture and design phases. Since the apperance of this rese...
