Abstract

We identify cross-cutting functionality by analyzing the version history of a project. The (co-)addition of the same set of method calls in many unrelated methods points to a cross-cutting concern. We successfully analyze CVS transaction for such co-additions using formal concept analysis. The paper presents results from analyzing Eclipse, a 1.6 MLOC Java application.
