RefSum: Refactoring Neural Summarization [PDF]
North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics, 2021 Although some recent works show potential complementarity among different state-of-the-art systems, few works try to investigate this problem in text summarization.

Refactoring-a Shot in the Dark? [PDF]
IEEE Software, 2015 A study performed semistructured interviews of 12 seasoned software architects and developers at nine Finnish companies. Its main goals were to find out how the practitioners viewed the role and importance of refactoring, and how and when they refactored.

Dynamic Ranking of Refactoring Menu Items for Integrated Development Environment
IEEE Access, 2018 Software refactoring is popular and thus most mainstream IDEs, e.g., Eclipse, provide a top level menu, especially for refactoring activities. The refactoring menu is designed to facilitate refactorings, and it has become one of the most commonly used ...

Mechanical verification of refactorings [PDF]
Proceedings of the 2008 ACM SIGPLAN symposium on Partial evaluation and semantics-based program manipulation, 2008 In this paper we describe the formal verification of refactorings for untyped and typed lambda-calculi. This verification is performed in the proof assistant Isabelle/HOL. Refactorings are program transformations applied to improve the design of source code.
