Data Reverse Engineering: A Historical Survey
نویسندگان
چکیده
Data reverse engineering is a rapidly growing field which is sometimes misunderstood. In our effort to promote the realization that data reverse engineering is a valuable and essential part of reverse engineering and is now finding its place in software engineering, we present a summary of the history of data reverse engineering. In this paper, a definition of data reverse engineering, a summary of the history of what has been done and published, a statement about the state-of-theart today, and a comment on the future of DRE is presented.

Lessons Learned in Data Reverse Engineering
Reverse engineering of data has been performed in one form or another for over twenty-five years. In this paper we describe the lessons learned in data reverse engineering (DRE) as contributed in a survey of data reverse engineers. Interesting is the fact that some of the lessons learned tell us how we are doing in the process of initial database design as well as how difficult the DRE process ...
متن کاملReverse Engineering- a General Review
The process of duplicating an existing part, subassembly, or product without the aid of drawings, documentation, or a computer model is known as reverse engineering. Reverse engineering is also defined as the process of obtaining a geometric CAD model from 3D points acquired by scanning/ digitizing the existing products. The aim of this paper is to review the reverse engineering process, and it...
متن کاملSoftware Visualization for Reverse Engineering
This article describes the Bauhaus tool suite as a concrete example for software visualization in reverse engineering, re-engineering, and software maintenance. Results from a recent survey on software visualization in these domains are reported. According to this survey, Bauhaus can indeed be considered a typical representative of these domains regarding the way software artifacts are visualiz...
متن کاملFrom the historical sugar refinery of Chichaoua (Morocco) to the lab: a reverse engineering experimentation on the hydration of earthen materials stabilized with lime
In order to explain the good state of conservation and good mechanical characteristics of the lime-stabilized earth of the sugar refinery near Chichaoua (Morocco, XVIth A.C.) XRD, SEM-EDX, TG-DSC, FT-IR analyses were performed on collected samples. Moreover laboratory earth samples were prepared with selected clay minerals (presence of attapulgite) and lime, involving a reverse engineering proc...
متن کاملMental Algorithms in the Historical Emergence of Word Meanings
Words frequently acquire new senses, but the mental process that underlies the historical emergence of these senses is often opaque. Many have suggested that word meanings develop in non-arbitrary ways, but no attempt has been made to formalize these proposals and test them against historical data at scale. We propose that word meaning extension should reflect a drive towards cognitive economy....
