Abstract

The identification of used design pattern as a part of the reengineering process provides useful information about the structure of a system. One of the existing pattern detection methodologies is detection based on similarity scoring algorithm proposed by Nikolaos Tsansalis. In this paper we propose a modification of the approach, in which we evaluate each observed part of the design pattern separately in the relation to the essence of the design pattern. This leads us to weighting of the observed structural parts of a pattern, so the more important structural parts have higher contribution to the calculated score.
