다양한 소프트웨어 척도들이 절차적 패러다임에서 유용하다는 것이 밝혀졌고 객체지향 패러다임에 대해서도 많은 설계 척도들이 언어 독립적으로 제안되었다. 언어 독립적인 척도로부터 특정 프로그램밍 언어에 대한 척도를 명확하게 하는 것이 중요한데도 불구하고 Java 언어에 대한 척도는 거의 제안되지 않고 있는 형편이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 Briand가 제안한 속성을 만족하는 척도들과 Java 언어의 특징인 내부 클래스를 반영한 척도와 크기 척도 등 13개의 척도를 Java 프로그램에 적용하여 척도들 사이의 관계를 분석하였다. 클래스의 크기와 메소드 호출 빈도, 응집도, 자식 클래스의 수, 내부 클래스와 상소 계층의 깊이가 주요 인자라는 것을 보여준다. 또한 응집도가 다른 척도들과 음의 관계를 가진다는 것이 발견되었다. 보다 적은 척도를 가지고 인자를 설명할 수 있는 회귀식을 도출하고 교차검증을 실시하였다.

소프트웨어 컴포넌트는 빠르게 변화하는 컴퓨팅 환경과 시대의 추세에 신속히 대응할 수 있도록 개발의 가능성을 이루게 하는 소프트웨어의 단위이다. 이는 소프트웨어 컴포넌트 간의 의존성을 줄이고 응집력을 높이는 것을 핵심으로 한다. 이러한 소프트웨어 컴포넌트를 정량적으로 평가할 수 있는 중요한 지표는 바로 결합도와 응집도이다. 본 논문에서는 런타임 상황을 고려하여 클래스 추상화 정도에 따른 클래스의 응집력을, 소프트웨어 컴포넌트 응집력으로 확장한다. 또한 컴포넌트 인터페이스에 의한 내부 결합도와 컴포넌트 간의 의존성에 따른 외부 결합도 측정법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 제안 메트릭스를 사례에 적용하여 그 효율성을 평가한다.

객체 지향 설계를 재구조화하기 위해서는 메소드와 속성들 사이의 관계를 파악해야 한다. 메소드와 속성들이 동일한 클래스에 속하는지를 추론하는 과정은 클래스 자료 참조 분석과 메소드 호출 분석에 의존한다. 최근의 많은 소프트웨어들은 규모가 방대하고 복잡하여 개발자가 도구를 사용하지 않고 수작업으로 설계를 재구조화기 어려우며 또한 너무 많은 시간과 노력이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 메트릭을 이용하여 객체 지향 설계를 자동적으로 재구조화하는 방법을 기술한다. 먼저 메소드, 속성, 클래스, 그리고 그들의 관계츨 추상화된 모델로 표시한다. 이 모델을 기반으로 객체 지향 설계를 정량적으로 측정할 응집도와 결합도 메트릭을 정의한다. 본 논문의 메크릭은 재고조화 과정 동안에 여러 다른 설계들을 효율적으로 비교하기 위한 유용한 기준을 제공한다. 기본 재구조화 행위들과 그 의미(semantics)를 정의하고 메트릭과 행위들을 사용하여 설계를 자동적으로 재구조화한다.

In component-based system, the qualities of components as reusable units are the most important to success the component-based development. Therefore, before software implementation phase, the designed components should be measurable to improve the qualities of the components and the measured results should be reflected in the component-based development phase. In addition, the qualities of the components should be measured accurately. Accordingly, this paper proposes cohesion and coupling metrics applying static and dynamic dependency characteristics by the interdependence between classes. We prove the theoretical soundness of the proposed metrics by the axiom of briand et al. A case study and a comparison with the conventional metrics verify the practicality of the proposed metrics. The development times and endeavors to design the components is reduced, because the proposed metrics measure the qualities of components accurately.

In response to an increased need, various methods for ontology modularization have been proposed. However, few studies have focused on evaluative methods for ontology modules. In this study, we devise novel metrics to measure ontology modularity. To evaluate the ontology modules, we introduce cohesion and coupling based on the theory of software metrics. A cohesion metric and two coupling metrics were used to measure cohesion and coupling for ontology modules. These metrics were also used to check consistency between the ontology modules and the original ontology. The new metrics support a more detailed relationship between classes in ontology modules. We validate the proposed metrics using the well known verification framework and perform the empirical experiments to complement previous investigations. This study offers ontology engineers valuable criteria with which to select and use ontology modules and modularization techniques.

In this paper, we propose a method to analyze M:N corresponding relations in semantic matching, especially focusing on feature class matching. Similarities between any class pairs are measured by spatial objects which coexist in the class pairs, and corresponding classes are obtained by clustering with these pairwise similarities. We applied a graph embedding method, which constructs a global configuration of each class in a low-dimensional Euclidean space while preserving the above pairwise similarities, so that the distances between the embedded classes are proportional to the overall degree of similarity on the edge paths in the graph. Thus, the clustering problem could be solved by employing a general clustering algorithm with the embedded coordinates. We applied the proposed method to polygon object layers in a topographic map and land parcel categories in a cadastral map of Suwon area and evaluated the results. F-measures of the detected class pairs were analyzed to validate the results. And some class pairs which would not detected by analysis on nominal class names were detected by the proposed method.

Clustering is representative method of components classification. But, previous clustering method that use cohesion and coupling can not be effective, because design pattern has consisted by relation between classes. In this paper, we classified design patterns with special quality of pattern structure. Classification by clustering had expressed higher correctness degree than classification by facet. Therefore, can do that it is effective that classify design patterns using clustering algorithms that is automatic classification method. When we are searching design patterns, classification of design patterns can compare and analyze similar patterns because similar patterns is saved to same category. Also we can manage repository efficiently because of using and storing link information of patterns.

As the importance of software measurement increases, there are more researches developing the new software measure. Given the importance of object-oriented development techniques, one specific area where this has occurred is coupling measurement in object-oriented systems. This thesis presents the coupling measure COM based on the methods and OOC based on the classes in measuring the coupling of object-oriented systems. And, it evaluates them using the coupling properties suggested by Briand while it compares them with other coupling measures by applying them to a system developed in the language of C++programming language.

Many researches and validations for the complexity metrics of the object-oriented systems have been studied. Most of them are aimed for the measurement of the partial aspects of the systems, for example, the coupling between objects, the complexity of inheritance structures, the cohesion of methods, and so on. But the software practitioners want to measure the complexity of overall system, not partial. We studied the complexity of the overall structures of object-oriented systems by analyzing the class diagram of UML. The class diagram is composed of classes and their relations. There are three kinds of relations, association, generalization, and aggregation, which are making the structure of object-oriented systems to be difficult to understand. We proposed a heuristic metric to measure the complexity of object-oriented systems by putting together the three kinds of the relations. This metric will be helpful to the software developers for their designing tasks by evaluating the complexity of the structures of object-oriented system and redesigning tasks of the system.

The component-based development methodology becomes famous as the new technology for reuse. That technology can help us easily develop a complex and large system by composing reusable components in short period with high-quality and low-cost. The component-based system nay be developed by composing more than one component. So, the quality of component-based system is determined by individual component duality. Therefore, it is necessary to measure individual component quality for the improvement in quality of component-based system. Hence, in this paper, we propose new component metrics for measuring the cohesion as relationship between classes and interfaces or among classes. Those can be applied in the early stage of software development life cycle. So, we can measure the functional cohesion of component which will be developed. Predicting functional independence of a component, we expect to reduce the software developing cost & effort and improve software quality by reusing a component.
