The extractions of different types of artifacts are required from the source code for different maintenance activities. This paper describes a lexically based Regular Extraction Technique (RET) adapted to extract the artifacts from a wide variety of source codes to support the reverse engineering process. The technique uses the pattern specification language to specify the artifacts construct t...

Adaptive maintenance is software maintenance performed to make a computer program usable in a changed environment [IEEE 1990]. A type of adaptive maintenance that is beginning to be encountered is the adaptation of services currently offered over the Internet for access by mobile devices, especially Internet-capable mobile phones. The delivery of “wired services” over the “wireless web” entails...

In this research, computerized maintenance management will be investigated. The rise of maintenance cost forced the research community to look for more effective ways to schedule maintenance operations. Using computerized models to come up with optimal maintenance policy has led to better equipment utilization and lower costs. This research adopts ConditionBased Maintenance model where the main...
