A Large-Scale Empirical Study on Software Reuse in Mobile Apps
In this article, authors discuss a case study of several Android mobile apps to analyze software reuse in terms of inheritance and code reuse as well as framework reuse of whole apps.
-
Twenty Years of Patterns’ Impact
In this article, authors talk about the impact of pattern languages on the software design community over the past 20 years. They discuss patterns like Enterprise Integration Patterns, open source ESBs and patterns as a design tool.

Measuring Architecture Sustainability
In this article, authors discuss Morphosis, a multi-perspective measuring approach for architecture sustainability that includes evolution scenario analysis, architecture compliance checking, and tracking of architecture-level code metrics. These perspectives include change-prone requirements, technology choices, architecture erosion, and modularization best practices.

Sustainable Architectural Design Decisions
Software architects must create designs that can endure throughout software evolution. In this article, based on a research study the authors discuss the criteria that can help architects assess architectural design decisions’ sustainability. They describe the challenges to achieving sustainable decisions, criteria for such decisions, solutions they tried, and lessons learned.

Design Patterns: Magic or Myth?
In this article, author discusses the effectiveness of the usage of design patterns in software development. The analysis is based on surveys and mapping studies conducted to indicate which patterns were considered useful under what circumstances.
-
Beyond Data Mining
In this article, author talks about the need for a change in the predictive modeling community’s focus and compares the four types of data mining: algorithm mining, landscape mining, decision mining, and discussion mining.

Software Engineering Meets Evolutionary Computation
In this IEEE article, author Mark Harman talks about evolutionary computation and how it has affected software design. Main focus is on search-based software engineering (SBSE), which focuses on the application of search-based optimization techniques to problems in software engineering. Mark also discusses the application of SBSE in emerging areas such as cloud, mobile and embedded systems.
