Recovering design patterns can enhance existing source code analysis tools by bringing
program understanding to the design level. This paper presents a new, fully automated …

Abstract Design patterns are strategies for solving commonly occurring problems within a
given context in software design. In the process of re-engineering, detection of design …

CONTEXT: Software quality is considered to be one of the most important concerns of
software production teams. Additionally, design patterns are documented solutions to …

Dependencies between program elements need to be modeled from different perspectives
reflecting architectural, design, and implementation level decisions. To avoid erosion of the …

Design patterns helpful for software development are the reusable abstract documents
which provide acceptable solutions for the recurring design problems. But in the process of …

Abstract Design patterns are often used in the development of object-oriented software. It
offers reusable abstract information that is helpful in solving recurring design problems …

The formal specification of design patterns is widely recognized as being vital to their
effective and correct use in software development. It can clarify the concepts underlying …

Handheld device applications with poor usability can reduce the productivity of users and
incur costs for businesses, thus usability testing should play a vital role in application …

Detecting well-known design patterns in object-oriented program source code can help
maintainers understand the design of a program. Through the detection, the …

We propose a method for automatic detection of occurrences of design patterns. We also
describe its proof-of-concept implementation and the results of comparative experiments …
