Design Pattern Detection by Using Cosine Similarity Technique

Abstract

Design pattern detection (DPD) is a reengineering task that is used in the object-oriented software development process. It is helpful to software developers to easily understand, maintain, and redevelop software. In this paper, we have applied a new technique for design pattern detection by using the cosine similarity technique (CST). Usually, the cosine similarity technique is used to find the similarity between 2 matrices. However, in this paper, we apply the cosine similarity technique for finding the similarity between the design pattern graph to system model graph.
