Software design patterns are standard solutions to common problems in software and architecture. Knowing that a particular module implements pattern is shortcut comprehension. Manually detecting time consuming challenging task, therefore, researchers have proposed automatic detection techniques. However, these techniques show low performance for certain patterns. In this work, we introduce appr...

Developing software systems that are composed in total or in part from software components over which the developer has little control presents difficulties not yet addressed by componentbased software engineering research. Among the problems associated with such component-based development is the potential for a component developer to misrepresent the quality of components. It is therefore par...

Component based software development is becoming more generalized, representing a considerable market for the software industry. The perspective of reduced development costs and shorter life cycles acts as a motivation for this expansion. However, several technical issues remain unsolved before software component’s industry reaches the maturity exhibited by other component industries. Problems ...
