Sequence diagrams can be valuable aids to software understanding. However, they can be
extremely large and hard to understand in spite of using modern tool support. Consequently …

This paper proposes a methodology and instrumentation infrastructure toward the reverse
engineering of UML (Unified Modeling Language) sequence diagrams from dynamic …

Reverse engineering of sequence diagrams refers to the process of extracting meaningful
information about the behavior of software systems in the form of appropriately generated …

In 2008 the predecessor of this book, entitled “Software Evolution”[592] was published by
Springer, presenting the research results of a number of researchers working on different …

We present a static analysis-based technique for reverse engineering finite state machine
models from a large subset of sequential Java programs. Our approach enumerates all …

Discovering program behaviors and functionalities can ease program comprehension and
verification. Existing program analysis approaches have used text mining algorithms to infer …

This paper discusses a step towards reverse engineering source code to produce UML
sequence diagrams, with the aim to aid program comprehension and other activities (eg …

Software development relies heavily on reusable libraries and software components. For
correct use of the provided API, proper documentation is needed. API usage is often …

In recent years, dynamic program execution traces have been utilized in an attempt to better
understand the runtime behavior of various software systems. The unfortunate reality of such …

To fully understand the behavior of a program, it is crucial to have ef? cient techniques to
reverse dynamic views of the program. In this paper, we focus on the reverse engineering of …
