Reconstruction of Floss-Refactorings},

abstract = {Today, it is widely accepted that if refactoring is
applied in practice, it is mainly interweaved with
normal software development --- so called ``floss
refactoring''. Unfortunately, the current
state-of-the-art is poorly equipped to mine floss
refactoring from version histories, mainly because
they infer refactorings by comparing two snapshots of
a system and making educated guesses about the
precise edit operations applied in between. In this
paper we propose a solution that reconstructs
refactorings not on snapshots of a system but using
the actual changes as they are performed in an
integrated development environment. We compare our
solution against RefFinder and demonstrate that on a
small yet representative program (the well-known
``VideoRental system'') our approach is more accurate
in identifying occurrences of the ``MoveMethod'' and
``RenameMethod'' refactorings.},
