Code smells indicate poor design and imperfection in coding style. They increase maintenance costs and degrade software quality. Detecting and mitigating these code smells reduce the effects of flaws present in the software design. However, to ...

Existence of thresholds in learning has been long recognized. Their nature has been well characterized, and it is recognized that they need to be treated differently from other core concepts. Helping learners cross thresholds has been identified as ...

Many organizations assess the maintainability of software systems before they are deployed. Object-oriented design has been shown to be a useful technique to develop and deliver quality software. Objectoriented metrics can be used to assess the ...

Unified Modeling Language is a kind of language which can be applied to describing, visualizing, framing software system and to business modeling. It contains analysis, design and realization of object-oriented technology, providing abundant, precise ...

The demand for efficient software is increasing day by day. For this reason software developers need appropriate metrics for the development of software applications. Usability is one of the most important fields in software engineering and a highly ...

Integrating the RBAC model in object-oriented systems is a natural way to describe authorization policies. We extend the RBAC model for access control in object-oriented systems in the context of the Access Control List. In this paper, we discuss ...

In object-oriented system design, requirements are given as use cases in the form of object interaction scenarios. One need to derive, from these object interaction scenarios, object-based behavioural specifications for implementation purposes. In this ...

This paper proposes a model for access control within object-oriented systems. The model is based on RBAC (role-based access control) and is called DRBAC (dynamic RBAC). Although RBAC is powerful in access control, the original design of RBAC required ...

The increasing complexity and shorter life cycle of software have made it necessary to reuse software. Object-oriented development has not facilitated extensive reuse of software and it has become difficult to manage and understand modern object-...

People see trust as an important key issue in embracing electronic commerce. In this paper we review trust within the context of electronic commerce and we propose a trust model, which is based on object-oriented concepts.

This paper describes a reengineering tool for automatically transforming a system composed of procedural programs into a functionally comparable object-oriented system. The transformation into the object-oriented form locates redundant duplicated and ...

The Taligent Object System (TOS) is an object-oriented system hosted on a modern microkernel, Mach. Mach has a procedural application programming interface (API) defined in the C programming language. This paper presents the design goals for a set of C++...

Behavior composition is essential to construct an object-oriented system from interacting objects. We propose a method to compose behaviors of the objects typically found in real-time applications. In our approach, the behaviors of individual objects ...

As some object-oriented computing systems support the object type buffer by hardware, it is reasonable to base their free storage management on a set of buffers, each containing free storage blocks of a specific length. Then memory space can normally be ...

The Eden Project conducts research in the design and implementation of a distributed computing environment for a local area network. A specific goal in designing Eden was to provide users the advantages of both physical distribution and logical ...
