3. ABSTRACT Software module clustering is an important and challenging problem in software engineering. It is widely believed that a well-modularized software system is easier to develop and maintain. Typically, a good module structure is regarded as one that has a high degree of cohesion and a low degree of coupling. Automated techniques for suggesting software clustering. The multi-objective approaches to software module clustering. – Maximizing Clustering Approach – Equal-size Cluster Approach 3MULTI-OBJECTIVE APPROACHES FOR SOFTWARE MODULE CLUSTERING
