A reengineering pattern describes how to go from an existing legacy solution to a new refactored solution. In this paper we discuss the role of reengineering patterns and contrast them with design patterns and antipatterns. We then highlight the structure of a reengineering pattern and present two simple, related patterns for type-check elimination. 1 Reengineering Patterns When important legac...

Reengineering production systems in an attempt to meet tight cost, quality and leadtime standards has received considerable attention in the last decade. In this paper, we discuss the reengineering process at the Royal Netherlands Naval Dockyard. The process starts with a characterisation and a careful analysis of the production system and the set of objectives to be pursued. Next, a new produc...

Electricity markets in the united states and Canada have evolved since their inception late 1990s early 2000s. Not all provinces moved toward restructured organized electricity markets, but rather those that belonged to operated by independent system operators (ISOs) regional transmission organizations, with designs developed through stakeholder processes approved state, provincial, or federal ...

Many reengineering techniques have been presented in the software engineering communities and some of them have been successful in the evolution and maintenance of complex legacy systems, but so far the target of these techniques has mostly been traditional software such as modular software. On the other hand Component Based Software engineering (CBSE) is growing in both academic research commu...

Abstract— Software metrics support various reengineering tasks. A set of software metrics can be used to identifying the quality problems with the current system and the prioritization of applications that are candidates for reengineering according to their technical quality and business value. The metrics can be used in the measurements of the costs of changes in the software, if an increase i...

EReeRisk (Efficient Reengineering Risk) is a risk impact measurement tool which automatically identifies and measure impact of various risk components involve in reengineering process of legacy software system. EReeRisk takes data directly from users of legacy system and establishes various risk measurement metrics according to different risk measurement scheme of ReeRisk framework [1]. Further...

Many calls for reengineering suggest that information technology (IT) can be employed to enable significant organizational change. However, organizational inertia typically inhibits such change, resulting in IT development that reflects the organizational status quo. Of interest, then, are strategies and techniques that can be employed to support IT-enabled reengineering. Key to such reengineer...

Introducing TAGDUR, a reengineering tool that first transforms a procedural legacy system into an object-oriented, event-driven system and then models and documents this transformed system through a series of UML diagrams.
