Title: Design Principles in Architectural Evolution: a Case Study (joint work with Yijun Yu and Angela Lozano)
Abstract: We wish to investigate how structural design principles are used in practice, in order to assess the utility and relevance of such principles to the maintenance of large, complex, long-lived, successful systems. In this paper we take Eclipse as the case study and check whether its architecture follows, throughout multiple releases, some principles proposed in the literature
