Abstract
Recovery of higher level design information and the ability to create dynamic software documentation is crucial to supporting a number of program understanding activities. Software maintainers look for standard software architectural structures (e.g., interfaces, interprocess communication, layers, objects) that the code developers had employed. Our goals center on supporting software maintenance/evolution activities through architectural recovery tools that are based on reverse engineering technology. Our tools start with existing source code and extract architecture-level descriptions linked to the source code fragments that implement architectural features. Recognizers (individual source code query modules used to analyze the target program) are used to locate architectural features in the source code. We also report on representation and organization issues for the set of recognizers that are central to our approach.
