Abstract
Motif detection allows software engineers to detect antipatterns in software. By decreasing the number of antipattern instances in a piece of software, the overall quality of the software is improved. Current methods to nd these antipatterns are slow and return results only when all antipatterns have been found. The GUERY framework is able to perform motif detection using multiple cores and deliver results as they are generated. By scaling GUERY to run on multiple machines, it was hoped that research requiring many queries on a graph could be performed signi cantly faster than is currently possible. The objective of this thesis was to research and prototype mechanisms whereby GUERY could be run using a cluster of computers and results delivered as a stream to interested systems. A system capable of running on a cluster of machines and delivering a stream of results as they are computed was developed.
