Refactoring and smells have been well researched by the software-engineering research
community these past decades. Several secondary studies have been published on code …

A review of research on universal usability, plasticity of user interface design and facilitation
of interface development with universal usability is presented. The survey was based on 165 …

With the decline of Moore's law, optimizing program performance has become a major focus
of software research. However, high-level optimizations such as API and algorithm changes …

The idea for this book arose from a series of lectures on modern programming paradigms,
feature-oriented programming, and software product lines that are continuously held at the …

Context Smells in software systems impair software quality and make them hard to maintain
and evolve. The software engineering community has explored various dimensions …

Refactoring is a widespread practice that helps developers to improve the maintainability
and readability of their code. However, there is a limited number of studies empirically …

Genetic improvement (GI) uses automated search to find improved versions of existing
software. We present a comprehensive survey of this nascent field of research with a focus …
