Baowen Xu · 2009
Automatic recovery of design patterns in codes can promote automation of program comprehension,maintenance and refactoring.Researches on design pattern recovery during the past decade and more were summarized,and shortcomings of existing techniques were pointed out.To solve the problems and achieve more accurate and general recovery technique,a research framework was introduced that is made up of researches on multilevel recovery target,precise definition and identification of semantic features based on static program analysis,software framework description based on semantic features and exclusive rules,formal design pattern description technology based on description logic.The main idea was presented and feasibility of the framework was demonstrated.
