Research projects of the Ptidej Team.
In the Ptidej Team (Pattern Trace Identification, Detection, and Enhancement in Java1), we aim at developing theories, methods, and tools, to evaluate and to improve the quality of object-oriented programs by promoting the use of idioms, design patterns, and architectural patterns.
We want to formalise patterns, to identify occurrences of patterns, and to improve the identified occurrences. We also want to evaluate experimentally the impact of patterns on the quality of object-oriented programs.
We develop the Ptidej tool suite to evaluate and to enhance the quality of object-oriented programs, promoting the use of patterns, either at the language-, design-, or architectural-levels.
Check out the roadmap of the team, a presentation of Ptidej in Japenese, or a video presenting the tool suite in action! The following links provide information on and-or downloads related to the research projects:
