On extended Similarity Scoring and Bit-vector Algorithms for design smell detection

The occurrence of design smells or anti-patterns in software models complicate development process and reduce the software quality. The contribution proposes an extension to Similarity Scoring Algorithm and Bit-vector Algorithm, originally used for design patterns detection. This paper summarizes both original approaches, important differences between design patterns and anti-patterns structures, modifications and extensions of algorithms and their application to detect selected design smells.
