Detecting complex changes and refactorings during (Meta)model evolution
作者：
Highlights：
• Recording the trace of atomic changes ensure the chronological order and the absence of hidden changes.
• Both issues of hidden changes and overlapping complex changes reduce the recall of the detection, if not considered.
• Our detection algorithm reaches 100% recall for the eight case studies.
• In the eight case studies, our heuristics never rank the correct overlapping complex changes with a lower priority than the incorrect ones.
