Software flexibility is the ease with which a software system can be modified for use in applications or environments other than those for which it was specifically designed. Software flexibility is not an absolute term. ...

Design patterns are widely used by software developers to build

complex systems. Hence, they have been investigated by many researchers

in recent decades. This leads to the emergence of various topics in the

design patterns...

Nowadays, increase the growth of software systems has heightened the importance of the design phase. So far, developers have introduced numerous software design patterns. As for design patterns, a significant issue is to select the appropriate...

Context: Mining patterns is one of the most attractive topics in the field of software design. Knowledge about the number, type, and location of pattern instances is crucial to understand the original design decisions. ...

Design patterns provide experience reusability and increase quality of object oriented designs. Knowing which design patterns are implemented in a software is important in comprehending, maintaining and refactoring its design. However, despite...

models, produced by Object-Z, are formally refined to ensure correctness. Then,

software behavior is extracted and visualized in specific intervals using UML. Applying design patterns to the visualized models increases reusability and flexibility...

Software design patterns are a means to specify common solutions to reoccurring design problems. Similarly, security design patterns provide a means to encapsulate common security solutions and mechanisms which are applicable at the design phase...

stored in source code becomes possible. In this paper, two experiments on potential applications of such a semantic layer are reported. These include design pattern detection and detection of bad code smells....

Developing reliable yet flexible software is a hard problem. Although modeling methods enjoy a lot of advantages, the exclusive use of just one of them, in many cases, may not guarantee the development of reliable and ...
