Constraint-Based Design Recovery for Software Reengineering: Theory and Experiments

by Alexander E. Quilici, Steven G. Woods, Qiang Yang

Book Overview

The great challenge of reverse engineering is recovering design information from legacy code: the concept recovery problem. This monograph describes our research effort in attacking this problem. It discusses our theory of how a constraint-based approach to program plan recognition can efficiently extract design concepts from source code, and it details experiments in concept recovery that support our claims of scalability. Importantly, we present...
