The landscape of refactoring research in the last decade (keynote)

Abstract

In the last decade refactoring research has seen an exponential growth. I will attempt to map this vast landscape and the advances that the community has made by answering questions such as who does what, when, where, with who, why, and how. I will muse on some of the factors contributing to the growth of the field, the adoption of research into industry, and the lessons that we learned along this journey. This will inspire and equip you so that you can make a difference, with people who make a difference, at a time when it makes a difference.
