....system details, but it illustrates the subsystem interactions that the software engineers feel are important. An example of a conceptual architecture for PostgreSQL can be seen in figure 1 [31] The As Built or concrete model of a system shows the relations that exist in the implemented system [2]. This model can be extracted through reverse engineering tools such as PBS, Dali, Rigi, CIA or SWAGKit [21, 29, 17, 11, 28] Each of these tools produces different output; however, they all have the common goal of producing a higher level of abstraction of the system under examination based on ....

....print Dialogue fields[0] Approaches There have been several other efforts in architecture analysis and reconstruction. 6. 1 Bowman and Associates Bowman and associates outline a similar method to that of Dali for extracting architectural documentation from the code of an implemented system [Bowman 99] In one example, they reconstructed the architecture of the Linux system. They analyzed source code using the cfx program (c code fact extractor) to obtain symbol (elements in Dali) information from the code and generated a set of relations between the symbols. Then, they manually created a ....

....to those components. It shows static structures (i.e. functional components) and dynamic structures (i.e. relationships among components) It has wide applicability and can be used by almost all of the stakeholders in the development cycle. A Concrete View identified by Bowman et al. BHB99] also refers to the logical decomposition but it shows it from the implementation perspective (i.e. it shows the logical structure that resulted after the conceptual logical view was implemented) Concurrency Execution Process View focuses on the assignment of runtime component instances ....

....[CC90] Reverse engineering is the process of analyzing a subject system to identify the system s components and their interrelationships and to create representation of the system in another form or at a higher level of abstraction. Previous research in the area of architecture recovery [BHB99, BH98, TH96, KC97, KOV01, MNS95] agree on a common set of steps in various approaches to the complete architecture recovery. These steps indicate that the architecture recovery is concerned with the recovery of a concrete or as implemented architecture of the system instead of a conceptual or ....

....The user iterates these steps until he gained enough information about the structure and dependencies of the code. To de ne the high level model, all accessible information about the source code is used. For SawMill and Linux code, this is not much and doesn t always t to implementation [BB99] This makes it hard to use this approach with SawMill code. This approach also doesn t allow to modify the code or its structure, which is needed for SawMill. This approach only shows the requirements of analysis tools but doesn t provide them.

This approach also doesn t allow to modify the code or its structure, which is needed for SawMill. This approach only shows the requirements of analysis tools but doesn t provide them. BB99] describes a case study of extracting the software architecture of the Linux kernel. Their approach is similar to the re exion model and could be used for code analysis, but the presented tools are not yet sucient and they do not provide manipulation of the components. The second question, after ....

....scrutiny. This refinement procedure was done in much the same way as with the methodology Bosch suggests [2] With this case study we have followed the pragmatic approach that has characterized the field of software architecture so far; much of the architectural research has included case studies [1,2,3,4,5,6,9,12]. Bass et al. describe case studies where SAAM is used [1] The relation between architecture and quality attributes is emphasized by Bass et al. [1] and Bosch [2] The Architecture Tradeoff Analysis Method (ATAM) is a relative of SAAM, which refines the analysis by making the tradeoff choices even ....

....tools we referred to in the previous section (PBS, Rigi, Dali etc. basically use the physical structure of a software system under investigation to infer the architectural structure. This happens because it is often the case that documentation is non existent for a software system (e.g. Linux [BHB99] Recently, the applicability of data mining in decision making tasks has become necessary since its results provide insightful information that reverse engineering tools are not able to reveal. Data mining algorithms, such as Hierarchical Clustering and Concept Analysis, appear to be promising ....

....in the version control system on the reason for certain changes, may provide insight in architectural rationale. Several approaches to architecture recovery are based on the notion of a system browser, which provides different linked views at various levels of abstraction of the legacy system [4, 5, 1]. In order to understand rationale, the original documentation, comments, and the problem tracking and version control remarks can be included in such a system browser. Moreover, some link insertion technique can be used to make the relationships between keywords in these texts and other concepts ....

....analysis of the Nautilus open source file manager. Multiple scenarios are extracted and analyzed. These scenarios have helped us to understand Nautilus s architecture. 1 Introduction In reverse engineering, it is common to extract software architectures from source code and system documentation [1, 2]. An extracted architecture is often represented in box and arrow diagrams. These diagrams help us understand the system s architecture, but do not express the order of component interactions in the execution of the system. Software engineers use scenarios to illustrate sequences of interactions ....
