There is a rising trend for heterogeneous software applications involving multilingual source
code. The key focus of reverse engineers is to unravel the cross-language links (XLLs) and …

In this paper, we propose an architecture model called Design Rule Space (DRSpace). We
model the architecture of a software system as multiple overlapping DRSpaces, reflecting …

The reuse at the component level is generally more effective than the one at the object-
oriented class level. This is due to the granularity level where components expose their …

Typical object-oriented (OO) systems implement several functional features that are
interwoven into class hierarchies. In the absence of aspect-oriented techniques to develop …

Mining software repositories is a common activity in software engineering with diverse use
cases such as understanding project quality, technology usage, and developer profiles …

Identifying dependency call graphs of multilanguage software systems using static code
analysis is challenging. The different languages used in developing today's systems often …

Berger-Levrault, like many companies, has legacy web applications that still bring great
values, and cannot be easily replaced. To maintain these applications, it needs data about …

J2EE applications tend to be multi-tier and multi-language applications. They rely on the
J2EE platform and containers that offer infrastructure and architectural services to ensure …

Program analyses typically need to identify a single entry method that triggers program
executions. However, many modern applications do not have such a single entry point …

Web applications typically interact with databases. Therefore, it is very crucial to understand
which web components access which database resources when maintaining web apps …
