This European Projects Track is aimed to create an opportunity for researchers to disseminate objectives, deliverables or outcomes of European projects they are involved in, within the field of software maintenance and reengineering. This track does also enable CSMR attendees to get a better overview of research projects that are carried out in Europe. This article introduces the three projects...

In an information technology society that is increasingly relying on software, software productivity and quality continue to fall short of expectations: software systems suffer from signs of aging as they are adapted to changing requirements. The main reason for this problem is that software maintenance and reengineering is still undervalued in traditional software development processes. The on...

Reengineering is an inherent aspect of modern software development, with its emphasis on iterative and incremental development. The reengineering pattern presented in this paper shows how you can support your understanding during system reengineering by linking your questions or information about the code in the code itself. This work has been funded by the Swiss Government under Project no. NF...

As more organizations are undertaking reengineering projects, project failure and associated riskiness is increased. This research shows that success was present, although failure was reported in some companies. The objective of this paper is to identify the factors that contribute to business process reengineering (BPR) success. This paper defines reengineering and develops a research model ba...

In our reengineering project, we regard architecture modeling and reengineering techniques of telecommunication systems. Our work concerns analysis and restructuring of such systems, including the re-design and re-implementation. As telecommunication systems are often planned and modeled using state machines, it seems reasonable to analyze the systems also on the more abstract representation le...

The most important factor in maintaining Web Engineering Information Systems WEIS lifecycle is the reengineering process that in most cases is due to serious problems and hence high maintenance costs; this process must be closely monitored by audit procedures. Once the WEIS was put into production, the maintenance and reengineering considerations started, and the Information System Risk and Qua...

nowadays, organizations in a competitive environment need an efficient and integrated system of resources in order to rich more quality and speed in product and service's delivery. one of the main problems to implement erp is the lack of coordination and relevance with business process reengineering (bpr). successful implementation of bpr inspired by strategic planning and top management s...

One important field of application for embedded realtime systems is in the telecommunications industry. The first phase of the E-CARES reengineering project concerned the architecture modeling and the reverse engineering of telecommunication systems implemented in the programming language PLEX. Now, we study the restructuring of such systems including their re-design and re-implementation. This...

Program comprehension is the most expensive activity of software maintenance. The diierent phases of a reuse reengineering process involves comprehension activities for understanding the structure of existing systems, the functionality implemented by a reuse-candidate module and the reengineering eeort. We present an integrated environment implemented in Prolog for reuse reengineering existing ...
