We study the impact of design patterns on quality attributes in the context of software maintenance and evolution. We show that, contrary to popular beliefs, design patterns in pr...
:- A software product spends more than 65% of its lifecycle in maintenance. Software systems with good maintainability can be easily modified to fix faults. In this paper, we adapt...
During software evolution, adaptive, and corrective maintenance are common reasons for changes. Often such changes cluster around key components. It is therefore important to anal...

We wish to investigate how structural design principles are used in practice, in order to assess the utility and relevance of such principles to the maintenance of large, complex,...
Middleware simplifies the construction of distributed applications. These applications typically require continuous uptime. The maintenance of distributed applications, though, im...
