ArchEvol

Student: Eugen Nistor, UC Irvine/ISR

Advisor: André van der Hoek, UC Irvine/ISR

Abstract: ArchEvol is a development environment that makes developers aware of where concerns are implemented in the system and provides visualizations for assessing the negative effects of scattering and tangling of concerns over the existing system modularization. ArchEvol represents a paradigm shift from other concern-based development methods in that concerns drive the development process, occurrences of concerns are identified while the source code is being developed, and high-level properties of concerns are continuously visualized during development at the architectural level.
