Abstract

Abstract: The development history of the field of automatic design pattern detection was briefly introduced; the research of this field was respectively reviewed from four major categories of approaches:graph theory-based, formal technologies-based, software metrics-based and artificial intelligence-based design pattern detection; the four major categories of approaches are compared through 3 indexes:applicable pattern type(s), time performance and possibility of fully automated; finally the problems and shortcomings of the current research were analyzed, and the future research directions were pointed out. This paper analyzes and discusses the applicable pattern type(s), the advantages/disadvantages and the inner connections of the various approaches, and expounds the research progress of this field from the macro level.

Key words: design pattern detection, research progress, software re-engineering, detection rule, pattern variant, time performance
