ABSTRACT
Evolution of software often decreases desired properties like readability and maintainability of the evolved code. The process of refactoring aims at increasing the same desired properties by restructuring the code. New paradigms like AOP allow aspect-oriented refactorings as counterparts of object-oriented refactoring with the same aim. However, it is not obvious to the user, when to use which paradigm for achieving certain goals. In this paper we present an approach of code clone classification, which advises the developer when to use a respective refactoring technique or concept.

Aspect-Oriented Refactoring of Legacy Applications: An Evaluation
The primary claimed benefits of aspect-oriented programming (AOP) are that it improves the understandability and maintainability of software applications by modularizing crosscutting concerns. Before there is widespread adoption of AOP, developers need ...
Refactoring of Crosscutting Concerns with Metaphor-Based Heuristics
It has been advocated that Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) is an effective technique to improve software maintainability through explicit support for modularising crosscutting concerns. However, in order to take the advantages of AOP, there is a need ...
Towards a catalog of aspect-oriented refactorings
AOSD '05: Proceedings of the 4th international conference on Aspect-oriented software developmentIn this paper, we present a collection of aspect-oriented refactorings covering both the extraction of aspects from object-oriented legacy code and the subsequent tidying up of the resulting aspects. In some cases, this tidying up entails the ...
