Abstract

This paper reports the activities that took place during the third edition of the workshop on Experiences in Object-Oriented Reengineering (Previous editions were held during ECOOP’97 and ECOOP’98 [3] [2]). This year seventeen participants attended the workshop. The overall organization stayed the same. Prior to the workshop each participant was asked to read the full version of the submitted papers that have been edited as internal proceedings. Then each participant presented his paper in 10 minutes followed by 10 minutes discussion. Then during the afternoon the two focus groups were formed to discuss the following topics: (1) Metrics, Visualisation and Problem Detection, and (2) Program Understanding, (Re)-documentation and Refactoring Composition.

Suggested further reading are the previous edition of the proceedings [2], the proceedings of this workshop containing the full versions of the papers[1], and look at the FAMOOS Esprit project whose main goal is reengineering objectoriented applications (http://www.iam.unibe.be/~famoos, http://www.sema.es/projects/FAMOOS/).

The report is organized as follow: first we summarize the presented work then second we report on the group discussions. Every participant sent a summary of her/his work with up to five references on their own work. The submitted papers are categorized in the following groups: Problem Detection, Program Understanding based on Metrics, Program Visualization, Framework Documentation, Dynamic Analysis, and Behavior based Architecture Extraction, and Support for Evolution.
