   ABSTRACT     = {Extract Class refactoring (ECR) is used to divide large 
      classes with low cohesion into smaller, more cohesive classes. 
      However, splitting a class might result in increased coupling in the 
      system due to new dependencies between the extracted classes. Thus, 
      ECR requires that a software engineer identifies a trade off between 
      cohesion and coupling. Such a trade off may be difficult to identify 
      manually because of the high complexity of the class to be 
      refactored. In this paper, we present an approach based on game 
      theory to identify refactoring solutions that provide a compromise 
      between the desired increment in cohesion and the undesired increment 
      in coupling. The results of an empirical evaluation indicate that the 
      approach identifies meaningful ECRs from a developer's point-of-view.}
