Abstract

Service locator is a popular design pattern that facilitates building modular and reconfigurable systems. We investigate how existing monolithic systems can be automatically refactored using this pattern into more modular architectures, and measure the benefits of doing so. We present an Eclipse plugin we have developed for this purpose.
