An ontology for microarchitectural design knowledge
Javier Garzás Parra, Mario Piattini Velthuis
In this article, we present an ontology that structures and unifies this accumulated OO microarchitectural design knowledge. This ontology differentiates between declarative and operative knowledge, and encompasses rules, patterns, and refactorings. It also encompasses the differences and relationships between these types of knowledge. Our ontology helps to better understand how to implement and refactor OO design knowledge, thereby improving quality, reducing costs, and saving time.
