Identification of design patterns can deliver important information to designers. Therefore, automated design pattern detection (DPD) is highly desirable when it comes to underst...
Many reverse-engineering tools have been developed to detract representations from source code. Yet, most of these tools completely ignore recovery of the all-important rationale ...
Design pattern density is a metric that measures how much of an object-oriented design can be understood and represented as instances of design patterns. Expert developers have lo...
— Many software development methodologies are based on modeling the real world. In some of these methodologies, real-world models are gradually transformed into software models, ...
The paper discusses ITS architectures in terms of patterns that exist within them. The concept of patterns has received surprisingly little attention so far from researchers in the...
