Retrofitting security implementations to a released software-intensive system or to a system under development may require significant architectural or coding changes. These late...
We detect design patterns in legacy code combining static and dynamic analyses. The analyses do not depend on coding or naming conventions. We classify potential pattern instances...
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...
ABSTRACT. Design patterns are well-known couples of problems-solutions for software engineering. By nature, they often lack support from languages and this further complicates the ...
This paper reports the results of exploratory research to develop a pilot pattern language for systems engineers at BAE SYSTEMS. The pattern language was designed to encapsulate k...
