Energy-Efficient Code by Refactoring

Energy-Efficient Code by Refactoring

The rising number of mobile devices increase the interest in longer battery durations. To increase battery duration, researchers try to improve e.g. different hardware components, such as processors and GPS for lower energy consumption. Frequently, software optimization possibilities to save energy are forgotten. Hence, an approach is shown to reduce energy consumption of applications by reengi...

Refactoring Code to Increase

Refactoring Prolog Code

Refactoring is a popular technique from the OO-community to restructure code: it aims at improving software readability, maintainability and extensibility. In this paper we apply the ideas of refactoring to Prolog programs. We present a catalogue of refactorings adapted to or specificly developed for Prolog. We also discuss ViPReSS, our semi-automatic refactoring browser, and our experience wit...

Straightening Spaghetti-Code with Refactoring?

Changes to software systems often entail a loss of quality, especially if they have to be accomplished under pressure of time. Long-term software projects must counter this phenomenon one way or the other to preserve long-term maintainability. This paper presents the results of a case study trying to improve an extensive low-quality code base by object-oriented and tool-supported refactoring. T...

Model-driven Java code refactoring

Refactoring is an important technique for restructuring code to improve its design and increase programmer productivity and code reuse. Performing refactorings manually, however, is tedious, time consuming and error-prone. Thus, providing an automated support for them is necessary. Unfortunately even in our days, such automation is still not easily achieved and requires formal specifications of...
