In systems developed without aspect-oriented programming, code implementing a
crosscutting concern may be spread over many different parts of a system. Identifying such …

The presence of duplicated code in software systems is significant and several studies have
shown that clones can be potentially harmful with respect to the maintainability and …

Data fusion is the process of integrating multiple sources of information such that their
combination yields better results than if the data sources are used individually. This paper …

The issues of code scattering and tangling, thus of achieving a better modularity for a
system's concerns, are addressed by the paradigm of aspect orientation. Aspect mining is a …

This paper offers a first, in-breadth survey and comparison of current aspect mining tools
and techniques. It focuses mainly on automated techniques that mine a program's static or …

Aspect mining is a reverse engineering process that aims at finding crosscutting concerns in
existing systems. This article proposes an aspect mining approach based on determining …

Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) provides mechanisms for the separation of crosscutting
concerns-functionalities scattered through the system and tangled with the base code …

Code duplication has been recognized as a potentially serious problem having a negative
impact on the maintain-ability, comprehensibility, and evolution of software systems. In the …

This paper presents a human-guided automated approach to refactoring object oriented
programs to the aspect oriented paradigm. The approach is based upon the iterative …

ABSTRACT Aspect Oriented Programming is a programming paradigm that addresses the
issue of crosscutting concerns. Aspect mining is a process that tries to identify crosscutting …
