There are many different refactoring to pattern techniques, each with a particular purpose and a varying effect on software quality attributes. Thus far, software designers do not have a clear means to choose refactoring to pattern techniqu...

The field of data quality management has long recognized the negative impact of data quality defects on decision quality. In many decision scenarios, this negative impact can be largely attributed to the mediating role played by decision-support models with defected data, the estimation of such a model becomes less reliable and, as a result, the likelihood of flawed decisions increases. Drawing...
