Nowadays, software engineers have a great tendency to use design patterns (DPs) because
they are considered to have an important role in software engineering in the sense that they …

Design pattern detection is a reverse engineering methodology that helps software
engineers to analyze and understand legacy software by recovering its design and thereby …

Automated design pattern detection (DPD) is a challenging reengineering task. The
detection quality (precision and recall) of DPD tools has so far been insufficient to make …

Design pattern detection is a reverse engineering methodology that helps software
engineers to analyze and understand legacy software by recovering design decisions and …

Occurrences of design patterns in existing code conveys important information to software
developers about the intent of the original author. Therefore, automated design pattern …

In reverse engineering, dynamic pattern detection is accomplished by collecting execution
traces and comparing them to expected behavioral patterns. The traces are collected by …

In software engineering design anti-patterns are commonly used bad solutions for a
recurring problem in software design. They are frequently equated with specific structures in …

This paper presents an approach to detect behavioral design patterns from source code
using static analysis techniques. It depends on the concept of Code Property Graph and …

Automated design pattern detection (DPD) is a challenging reengineering task that has
been shown to require combination of complex structural and behavioural analyses for good …

The detection of software design pattern implementations in existing code helps reverse
engineers to understand the software design and the original developers' intentions. In order …
