Further Reading

General introductions to renovation are books on data reverse engineering [1], the migration of legacy systems [14], the transition to object technology [49], and software maintenance [43]. An annotated bibliography of current renovation literature can be found in [9]. The following workshops and conferences are of interest:

• Working Conferences on Reverse Engineering [5].
• European Conferences on Maintenance and Reengineering [39].
• International Workshops on Program Comprehension [52].
• International Conferences on Software Maintenance [2].

Regularly, sessions on maintenance and renovation occur in general software engineering conferences. Another useful source is the Journal of Software Maintenance. Other relevant information includes:

• An on-line database of publications on renovation (including abstracts).

• A CASE tool vendor list(useful for tools that can be used in reverse engineering).

• The home page of the SEI Reengineering Centre .
• An overview of the Georgia Tech reverse engineering group presenting papers, tools and pointers to other groups.

• A description of the research activities related to program comprehension and reengineering performed at the CARE (Computer-Aided Reengineering) Laboratory in the Computer Science Department of Tennessee Technological University.
