Abstract
Design patterns have been applied in many large software systems to help developers coping with recurring design problems. However, pattern-related information is generally lost in system source code. Discovering design pattern instances from source code can help to understand and analyze the software systems. In this paper, we present several experiments on design pattern discovery using our tool. We also compare the results of our experiments with other approaches and identify the need of benchmarks.
