Proceedings of the Systems Reengineering Technology Workshop (4th) held in Monterey, California on February 8 - 10, 1994

Abstract : The Navy has invested significant resources in the development of large and complex systems that must be modified and extended to respond to changing requirements. However, many of these systems are based on archaic automation technologies that do not support modern hardware and software engineering methodologies or maintenance strategies. Consequently, system modification has become increasingly complex. To reduce the complexity, developers can employ reengineering techniques to create new systems. This report contains the papers presented at the Fourth Systems Reengineering Technology Workshop sponsored by the Naval Surface Warfare Center. The papers discuss theoretical and applied techniques that can be used to facilitate systems reengineering efforts. Specific topics include design issues in systems reengineering, reuse in reengineering and forward engineering, experience reports, reengineering translation and transformation, evaluating a reengineering project, tools for reengineering, engineering science and reengineering, the impact of object orientation, and approaches to reengineering.
