Since object-oriented programming is usually associated with iterative development, reverse engineering must be considered an essential facet of the object-oriented paradigm. The reverse engineering pattern language presented here summarises the reverse engineering experience gathered as part of the FAMOOS project, a project with the explicit goal of investigating reverse and reengineering tech...

In this study, we extend the study of Function Point Analysis (FPA) for the measurement of source code based migration project using the migration tooling options. FPA is an objective and structured technique to measure software size by quantifying its functionality provided to the user, based on the requirements and logical design. It is noticed that the procedure for the above measurement is ...

The current paper presents a solution of the Model Transformations for Program Understanding: A Reengineering Challenge case study of the Transformation Tool Contest 2011, using the Viatra2 model transformation tool. This work was partially supported by ICT FP7 SecureChange (ICT-FET-231101) European Project.

The author has directed on the management of processes especially on the reengineering. The main topic of this article is acquaint the readers with these experiences and knowledge. The author is the leader of project of the transformation. He has had as general experiences with the transformation so the practical experiences on the specific Czech market.

designed to facilitate correct and complete exchange of process information among manufacturing systems, such as scheduling, process modeling, process planning, production planning, simulation, project management, work flow, and business-process reengineering. We give an overview of the theories within the PSL ontology, discuss some of the design principles for the ontology, and finish with exa...

In the context of the Bauhaus project, reengineering environments to support program understanding of legacy code are being developed. Bauhaus defines two formats to represent information that has been extracted from source code. One of these formats, RG, is suitable as an exchange format. This paper introduces RG, describes how it is represented as an exchange format, and discusses schema con-

Use cases are wonderful but confusing. People, when asked to write them, do not know what to include or how to structure them. There is no published theory for them. This paper introduces a theory based on a small model of communication, distinguishing "goals" as a key element of use cases. The result is an easily used, scaleable, recursive model that provides benefits outside requirements gath...
