Researchers in software engineering have attempted to improve software development by
mining and analyzing software repositories. Since the majority of the software engineering …

There is a rising trend for heterogeneous software applications involving multilingual source
code. The key focus of reverse engineers is to unravel the cross-language links (XLLs) and …

Many automated techniques of varying accuracy have been developed to help recover the
architecture of a software system from its implementation. However, rigorously assessing …

Contemporary software applications are developed using cross-language artifacts, which
are interdependent with each other. The source code analysis of these applications requires …

Software module clustering is an unsupervised learning method used to cluster software
entities (eg, classes, modules, or files) with similar features. The obtained clusters may be …

A software system evolves over time in order to meet the needs of users. Understanding a
program is the most important step to apply new requirements. Clustering techniques …

Commit comments increasingly receive attention as an important complementary
component in code change comprehension. To address the comment scarcity issue, a …

Commit messages are important complementary information used in understanding code
changes. To address message scarcity, some work is proposed for automatically generating …

Background: The process of mapping a source code entity onto an architectural module is to
a large degree a manual task. Automating this process could increase the use of static …

In this paper, we propose an architecture model called Design Rule Space (DRSpace). We
model the architecture of a software system as multiple overlapping DRSpaces, reflecting …
