Many program maintenance tools rely on traditional parsing techniques to obtain syntactic level models of the code being maintained. When, for some reason, code cannot be parsed, ...
In this paper, we describe the reengineering of a deteriorated object-oriented industrial program written in C++. The main problem of the program was misplaced code, most often fu...
Cohesion was rst developed to predict properties of implementations created from a given design. Unfortunately, cohesion, as originally de ned, could not be objectively assessed, ...
Frameworks and libraries change their APIs during evolution. Migrating an application to the new API is tedious and disrupts the development process. Although some tools and techn...
The high cost of software maintenance could potentially be reduced by automatically improving the design of object-oriented programs without altering their behaviour. We have const...
