In this paper, we present a web-based Distributed Virtual Learning Environment (DVLE) that could be used as a sophisticated tool for distance education and collaboration between t...
In this paper we propose a high-level description of the behavior of digital systems. Behaviors are specified with a graphical synchronous model: “SyncCharts”. SyncCharts supp...
An alternative approach to developing reusable components from scratch is to recover them from existing systems. Although numerous techniques have been proposed to recover reusabl...
In this paper we introduce the evolution tree - a software life-cycle model that describes software development as the continuous evolution of a software product. That is, we view...
Shimba, a prototype reverse engineering environment, has been built to support the understanding of Java software. Shimba uses Rigi and SCED to analyze, visualize, and explore the...
Better understanding manual reverse engineering can make it and any associated systems reengineering more effective. We reverse engineered a version of a system (referred to as &q...

This paper presents a technique for recovering the high level design of legacy software systems according to user defined architectural plans. Architectural plans are represented...
In practice, a pure top-down and refinement-based development process is not applicable. A more iterative and incremental approach is usually applied with respect to changing req...
Object-oriented programming is about the creation of reusable classes that are to be extended to capture the specific requirements of the application at hand. However, instead of...
