Context Reusing a design pattern is not always in the favor of developers. Thus, the code
starts smelling. The presence of “Code Smells” leads to more difficulties for the developers …

Code and design smells are poor solutions to recurring implementation and design
problems. They may hinder the evolution of a system by making it hard for software …

Software architecture (SA) has a prominent role in all stages of system development. Given
the persistent evolution of software systems over time, SA tends to be eroded or degraded …

Abstract Analysis sparse representation (ASR) and synthesis sparse representation (SSR)
are two representative approaches for sparsity-based image modeling. An image is …

Over the past decade software architecture has received increasing attention as an
important subfield of software engineering. During that time there has been considerable …

In today's world, services and data are integrated in ever new constellations, requiring the
easy, flexible and scalable integration of autonomous, heterogeneous components into …

To maintain and understand large applications, it is important to know their architecture. The
first problem is that unlike classes and packages, architecture is not explicitly represented in …

Specification matching is a way to compare two software components, based on
descriptions of the component's behaviors. In the context of software reuse and library …

As organizations adopt component-based software engineering, it becomes essential to
clearly define its characteristics, advantages and organizational implications. This report …

Software architectures capture the most significant properties and design constraints of
software systems. Thus, modifications to a system that violate its architectural principles can …
