Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Refactoring of source code has been studied as a preliminary step in the evolution of object-oriented software. We extend the concept of refactoring to the whole range of models used to describe a framework in our methodology: feature model, use case model, architecture, design, and code. We view framework evolution as a two-step process: refactoring and extension. The refactoring step is a set of refactorings, one for each model, that cascades through them. The refactorings chosen for a model become the rationale or constraints for the choice of refactorings of the next model. The cascading of refactorings is aided by the alignment of the models. Alignment is a traceable mapping between models that preserves the commonality-variability aspects of the models.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
