Class level Refactorings

Hi everybody,
I am interested to apply refactoring at the level of Class diagram representing 
Object Oreinted system. Can anybody tell me that which refactoring can be 
applied at the Class level.

Thanks 

Regards

Fawad

Subject: [refactoring] Call for Submissions: Fourth Workshop on Refactoring 
Tools

  
CALL for SUBMISSIONS

4th Workshop on Refactoring Tools
http://refactoring.info/WRT11
May 22, 2011
in conjunction with ICSE'11
Honolulu, Hawaii

IMPORTANT DATES:

- Submission deadline: Jan 30, 2011
- Notification of Acceptance: Feb 28, 2011
- Camera Ready: March 10, 2011
- Workshop date: May 22, 2011

MOTIVATION

Refactoring is the process of applying behavior-preserving transformations to a
program with the objective of improving the program's design. A specific
refactoring is identified by a name (e.g., Extract Method), a set of
preconditions, and a set of specific transformations that need to be performed.
Tool support for refactoring is highly desirable because checking the
preconditions for a given refactoring often requires nontrivial program
analysis, and applying the transformations may affect many locations throughout
a program. In recent years, the emergence of light-weight programming
methodologies such as Extreme Programming has generated a great amount of
interest in refactoring, and refactoring support has become a required feature
in modern-day IDEs. Until recently, there has not been a suitable forum for
discussions among researchers and developers of such tools. Our prior
refactoring tools workshops (at ECOOP 2007, then at OOPSLA 2008, OOPSLA 2009)
clearly met a need, and there was strong interest expressed in holding a
follow-on workshop.

We invite developers and researchers in the field of refactoring to submit
presentations and demonstration proposals about practical refactoring tools.

GOALS

While there is a great deal of interest in developing tool support for
refactoring, researchers and tool vendors rarely work together.

This forum will enable the transfer of ideas and expertise both ways:

- researchers can show the state-of-the-art analyses they are using in
developing tool support for refactoring,
- tool vendors can offer valuable insights on the challenges of scaling
such analyses to realistic applications.

By bringing together researchers and tool vendors:

- We can shorten the time to embody ideas into production systems.
- In addition, by making researchers aware of what others are working
on, the potential for reinventing the wheel is reduced while the
potential for creative collaboration is enhanced.

This workshop is the next step in our ongoing effort to create such a
community, building on our successful refactoring workshops at ECOOP'07,
OOPSLA'08, and OOPSLA'09.

Potential topics are those related to refactoring tools including, but not
restricted to:
- refactoring engines
- improving the usability of existing refactoring engines
- tool performance
- efficient representation of source models
- program analyses for refactoring tools
- tools for detecting applied refactorings
- tools for suggesting refactorings (e.g., using code-smell detection)
- testing and verification of refactoring tools
- language-independent analysis frameworks and analytical representations
- language-independent transformation frameworks
- language-independent refactoring tools
- refactoring tools for non-OO languages (e.g., functional languages,
MDE, legacy languages)
- composition and scripting of refactorings
- medium- and large-scale refactorings (e.g., package- or component-level)
- refactoring for concurrency and parallelism

ORGANIZATIONAL DETAILS

Prospective participants in this workshop are encouraged to submit (i) 4-page
position papers about new or emerging ideas, or (ii) 8-page full papers about
prototypes that have preliminary results. We also encourage developers of
widely used refactoring tools (e.g., Eclipse, NetBeans, IntelliJ,
Visual Studio) to submit a demonstration proposal about their systems, or
present upcoming features. Based on submissions, the schedule will include
a mix of system demonstrations, short presentations, panel discussions and
informal discussions. Proceedings will appear in the ACM Digital Library and
also be available on the ICSE USB stick.
