Abstract

We demonstrate the Massey Architecture Explorer (MAE), a browser-based application to visualise and analyse the architecture of JVM applications. The MAE extracts a graph-based model from Java byte code, and visualises it using a force directed layout on an HTML5 canvas. A novel scalable algorithm is used to detect architectural antipatterns. The antipatterns detected focus on problems software architects face when trying to refactor applications into OSGi or similar dynamic component models.

A unique feature of this system is that the state of the application is encoded in the URL ("URL memento"). These URLs can be shared and bookmarked, facilitating the sharing of architectural knowledge amongst software engineers.

Documenting after the fact: Recovering architectural design decisions

Software architecture documentation helps people in understanding the software architecture of a system. In practice, software architectures are often documented after the fact, i.e. they are maintained or created after most of the design decisions have ...
Runtime recovery and manipulation of software architecture of component-based systems

Recently, more attention is paid to the researches and practices on how to use software architecture in software maintenance and evolution to reduce their complexity and cost. The key in such architecture-based maintenance and evolution is to recover ...
An Iterative Framework for Software Architecture Recovery: An Experience Report
ECSA '08: Proceedings of the 2nd European conference on Software Architecture

Both architecture recovery and architecture evaluation play an important role in the area of software reverse-engineering. In this paper, we propose and evaluate a framework for incremental and iterative application of automated architecture recovery (...
