Ptidej Laboratory (Pattern Trace Identification, Detection, and Enhancement in Java)

Researchers at the Ptidej Laboratory develop theories, methods, and tools to understand, evaluate, and improve the quality of IoT software systems. Their work emphasizes the formalization, detection, and refinement of idioms, design patterns, and architectural patterns—ranging from communication protocols to systems-of-systems. They also experimentally assess the impact of these patterns on software quality. The lab develops, maintains and advances tools such as the Ptidej tool suite and Taupe, which support quality evaluation and enhancement of software systems, promoting the use of patterns at the language, design, and architectural levels.
