An Automatic Reversible Transformation from Composite to Visitor in Java

1 ASCOLA - Aspect and composition languages

We build reversible transformations between Composite and Visitor design patterns in Java programs. Such transformations represent an automatic reversible switching between different program architectures with a guarantee of semantic preservation. In this paper, we detail the algorithms of the transformations implemented by composing elementary refactoring operations. The transformations were automated with the refactoring tool of a popular IDE: Intellij Idea.
