“…Perhaps the closest other work to ours has been in migration from procedural to object-oriented language paradigms, such as that by Zou et al [19], and Sneed et al [15]. As pointed out by Ciupke [4], the biggest challenge in this kind of reengineering is the identification of appropriate classes and their representation. By contrast, in our work we are able to use a lightweight pattern-based identification and automated transformation, because even though the patterns we are looking for differ widely in structure and appearance, they already represent conceptually similar object-oriented class models.…”

Abstract-JavaScript is a dynamic, weakly typed, multiparadigm programming language that supports object-oriented, imperative, and functional programming styles. While web developers appreciate this flexibility when implementing complex and interactive web applications, this wide range of possible styles can hinder program comprehension and make maintenance difficult, especially in large projects involving many different programmers. A particular problem is the several different ways in which object-oriented classes can be expressed in JavaScript. In this work we aim at enhancing the maintainability of objectoriented JavaScript applications by automatically normalizing the representation of classes to a single model.

“…Karimi et al [14] report their experiences with the implementation of an automated software design assistant tool. Ciupke presents a tool based technique for analyzing legacy code to detect design problems [3]. Jackson's Alloy Analyzer tool employs "automated reasoning techniques that treat a software design problem as a giant puzzle to be solved" [12].…”

Abstract. Offshore and outsourced development are the latest facts of life of professional software building. The easily identifiable advantages of these trends -such as cost benefits, continuous delivery and support -have already been explored to considerable extent. But how does offshore and outsourced development affect the delegation of responsibilities to components of a software system? In this paper we investigate this question by applying the RESP-DIST technique on a set of real life case studies. Our RESP-DIST technique uses metrics and a linear programming based method to recommend the reorganization of components towards an expedient distribution of responsibilities. The case studies embody varying degrees of offshore and outsourced development. Results from the case studies lead to some interesting observations on whether and how offshore and outsourced development influences software design characteristics.

“…In addition, a rule based formalism naturally fits the form in which principles and rules of design are formulated. Rule based pattern matching has been used successfully in design pattern detection for understanding and redocumentation [KP96,AFC98,HHHL03], architecture checks using reflection models [SSC96,FKvO98,MW99], and detection of structural anomalies [Ciu99,Ciu01,BNL03].…”

“…In order to express indicators as rules, we can resort to several formalisms, such as detection strategies [Mar02,LM06], queries expressed in a logic programming language such as Prolog [Ciu99,Ciu01], or relational algebraic operators or the SQL query language [Ciu01,TSK05]. Alternatively, we can simply write a program that computes relations using the development environment's specific APIs.…”
