Title: Recovery of Architecture Module Views using an Optimized Algorithm Based on Design Structure Matrices,
Abstract: Design structure matrices (DSMs) are useful to represent high-level system
structure, modeling interactions between design entities. DSMs are used for
many visualization and abstraction activities. In this work, we propose the use
of an existing DSM clustering algorithm to recover software architecture module
views. To make it suitable to this domain, optimization has proved necessary.
It was achieved through performance analysis and parameter tuning on the
original algorithm. Results show that DSM clustering can be an alternative to
other clustering algorithms.
