Abstract: This paper presents a method to view a system as a hierarchy of modules according to information hiding concepts and to identify architectural component candidates in this hierarchy. The result of the method eases the understanding of a system's underlying software architecture. A prototype tool implementing this method was applied to three systems written in C (each over 30 Kloc). For one of these systems, an author of the system created an architectural description. The components generated... (Update)

.... to facilitate understanding of those systems (e.g. for maintenance tasks) or to reuse subsystems in other applications [1, 3, 7, 10, 19, 20]. While we know of no software clustering technique that makes use of the application GUI, it is possible to view our approach as...
...an algorithm basing on functional decomposition has been implemented as well. This algorithm bases on ideas presented in [13] 16] and [17]. It analyzes the call graph of a COBOL program and groups nodes with a single external entry point. For each group, a class is...
