An Empirical Study of a Repeatable Method for Reengineering Procedural Software Systems to Object- Oriented Systems

This paper describes a repeatable method for reengineering a procedural system to an object-oriented system. The method uses coupling metrics to assist a domain expert in identifying candidate objects. An application of the method to a simple program is given, and the effectiveness of the various coupling metrics are discussed. We perform a detailed comparison of our repeatable method with an ad hoc, manual reengineering effort based on the same procedural program. The repeatable method was found to be effective for identifying objects. It produced code that was much smaller, more efficient, and passed more regression tests than the ad hoc method. Analysis of object-oriented metrics indicated both simpler code and less variability among classes for the repeatable method

Configuration Management for Reusable Software ?

This paper discusses the configuration management of reusable software, and proposes a software libarary architecture that incorporates configuration management.

A Case Study of Using Domain Analysis for the Conflation Algorithms Domain

This paper documents the domain engineering process for much of the conflation algorithms domain. Empirical data on the process and products of domain engineering were collected. Six conflation algorithms of four different types: three affix removal, one successor variety, one table lookup, and one n-gram were analyzed. Products of the analysis include a generic architecture, reusable components, a little language and an application generator that extends the scope of the domain analysis beyond previous generators. The application generator produces source code for not only affix removal type but also successor variety, table lookup, and n-gram stemmers. The performance of the stemmers generated automatically was compared with the stemmers developed manually in terms of stem similarity, source and executable sizes, and development and execution times. All five stemmers generated by the application generator produced more than 99.9% identical stems with the manually developed stemmers. Some of the generated stemmers were as efficient as their manual equivalents and some were not

DARE-Web: Domain Analysis in a Web Environment

DARE-Web is a Web-based environment that supports domain analysis - the activity of identifying and documenting the commonalities and variabilities in related software systems. DARE-Web supports the capture of domain information from experts, documents, and code in a domain

Re-engineering with reuse: a case study

This paper describes a case study in reuse and reengineering. A C based metrics system was re-engineered to C++ using standard reusable components and a design pattern
