Abstract:Modularity in Object-Oriented (OO) applications has been a major concern since the early years of OO programming languages. Migrating existing OO applications to Component-Based (CB) ones can contribute to improve modularity, and therefore maintainability and reuse. In this paper, we propose a method for source code transformation (refactoring) in order to perform this migration. This method enhances decoupling by considering that some dependencies between classes should be set through abstract types (interfac… Show more
