Open source software systems are becoming increasingly important these days. Many
companies are investing in open source projects and lots of them are also using such …

To maintain and understand large applications, it is important to know their architecture. The
first problem is that unlike classes and packages, architecture is not explicitly represented in …

This paper presents a 3D visualization approach which gravitates around the city metaphor,
ie, an object-oriented software system is represented as a city that can be traversed and …

Large repositories of source code create new challenges and opportunities for statistical
machine learning. Here we first develop an infrastructure for the automated crawling …

Teach reverse engineering, program understanding, and software analysis in computer
science, computer engineering, and software engineering curricula. Investigate …

Software systems contain entities, such as functions and variables, which are related to each
other. As a software system evolves to accommodate new features and repair bugs …

Algorithms are developed that adopt a novel implicit representation for multivariate
polynomials and rational functions with rational coefficients, that of black boxes for their …

GUPRO is an integrated workbench to support program understanding of heterogenous
software systems on arbitrary levels of granularity. GUPRO can be adapted to specific needs …

Many software systems do not have a documented system architecture. These are often
large, complex systems that are difficult to understand and maintain. One approach to …

This paper discusses the requirements and a generic framework for the integration of
architectural and code-based reengineering tools. This framework is needed because there …
