Coping with evolution in automated production systems implies a cross-disciplinary
challenge along the system's life-cycle for variant-rich systems of high complexity. The …

Abstract Context Big Data Cybersecurity Analytics (BDCA) systems leverage big data
technologies for analyzing security events data to protect organizational networks …

Antipatterns are poor design choices that are conjectured to make object-oriented systems
harder to maintain. We investigate the impact of antipatterns on classes in object-oriented …

Antipatterns are" poor" solutions to recurring design problems which are conjectured in the
literature to make object-oriented systems harder to maintain. However, little quantitative …

Context. Although research in software engineering largely seeks to improve the practices
and products of software development, many practices are based upon codification of expert …

Context Reusing a design pattern is not always in the favor of developers. Thus, the code
starts smelling. The presence of “Code Smells” leads to more difficulties for the developers …

Java 8 retrofitted lambda expressions, a core feature of functional programming, into a
mainstream object-oriented language with an imperative paradigm. However, we do not …

Larger Object Oriented (OO) software systems can benefit greatly from the use of software
design patterns. Because design pattern offers a well-structured and proven solution to …

Stability refers to a software system's resistance to the “ripple effect”, ie, propagation of
changes. In this paper, we investigate the stability of classes that participate in …

Refactoring is widely recognized as a crucial technique applied when evolving object‐
oriented software systems. If applied well, refactoring can improve different aspects of …
