The software industry is increasingly facing the issues of understanding and maintaining a particular type of software systems, namely distributed systems. While these systems are...
Propagating incremental changes and maintaining traceability are challenges for interactive model transformations, i.e. ones that combine automation with user decisions. After evo...
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...
We present Build Analyzer, a tool that helps developers optimize the build performance of huge systems written in C. Due to complex C header dependencies, even small code changes ...
Aspect-oriented design needs to be systematically assessed with respect to modularity flaws caused by the realization of driving system concerns, such as tangling, scattering, and...
Effort to evolve and maintain a software system is likely to vary depending on the amount and frequency of change requests. This paper proposes to model change requests as time se...
With an ever-increasing amount of software in place, the importance and ubiquity of software maintenance is continuously growing. Another more recent trend is to “offshore” su...
Families of products are steadily emerging for distinct settings such as embedded systems, navigational systems, financial applications or even web applications. This shifts the a...

Design anomalies, introduced during software evolution, are frequent causes of low maintainability and low flexibility to future changes. Because of the required knowledge, an im...
Many C++ extractors exist that produce syntax trees, call graphs, and metrics from C++ code, yet few offer integrated querying, navigation, and visualization of sourcecode-level f...
