Abstract:
Software design patterns and refactoring are widely used in software engineering to enhance maintainability, reuse and productivity. However, recent empirical studies revealed the high energy overhead in these patterns. Our approach consists of automatically applying refactoring techniques, detecting and injecting design patterns during design level for better energy efficiency without impacting existing coding practices. Regarding that, refactoring techniques could help to tackle these issues considering that it is a method of changing the internal design of the system while preserving the external behavior. In this paper, we propose a graph transformation for refactoring, design pattern injection and furthermore rules to compute the total energy consumption and perform an initial evaluation of the energy efficiency.
