In the software engineering literature, many works claim that the use of design patterns improves the comprehensibility of programs and, more generally, their maintainability. Yet...
Given the rapid rise of model-driven software development methodologies, it is highly desirable that tools be developed to support the use of design patterns in this context. This...

A design pattern encapsulates the knowledge of object-oriented designers into re-usable artifacts. A design pattern is a descriptive device that fosters software design re-use. Th...

Design patterns have been widely adopted and well investigated by the software engineering community over the past decade. However, their primary use is still associated with forw...
Software often needs to be modified for accommodating requirements changes through the software life cycle. To deal with several accidental requirements changes related to softwa...
—Design patterns are codified solutions to common object-oriented design (OOD) problems in software development. One of the proclaimed benefits of the use of design patterns is...

Abstract. Design patterns have been a useful tool for a better understanding of the collaboration between several classes and objects in a program. One drawback of this approach is...
: Detection of instances of design patterns is useful for the software maintenance. This paper proposes a new framework for the automated detection of instances of design patterns....
Abstract. Design patterns already proved successful in lowering the development time and number of errors of object-oriented software; now, they are, candidate to play a similar ro...
