DISCOVERY OF COMPLEX MODEL IMPLEMENTATION PATTERNS IN SOURCE CODE

Abstract

We present a method for discovering complex model implementation patterns in a hand written program code. A model implementation pattern is understood as a repeatedly used humanly meaningful transformation from a set of model elements to a piece of corresponding program code. Complex model implementation patterns are composed from atomic model implementation patterns treated as black boxes. We use the same definition of model implementation pattern for recognizing implementation patterns and generating program code. The method is applied for automated configuring a program code generator.
