Editorial Reviews

Seven articles comprising a special double issue of "Automated Software Engineering" vol. 3, nos. 1/2 (1996) discuss methods of figuring out how existing software was put together originally and how to reuse as much of it as possible in other software. The topics include, database reverse engineering from requirements to CARE tools, understanding interleaved code, pattern matching for clone and concept detection, extracting architectural features from source code, and the strongest post-condition semantics and the formal basis for reverse engineering. The papers were also among those presented at a July 1995 conference in Toronto. No index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
