Summary

We have identified two levels of restructuring in the re-engineering of objectoriented legacy systems: high-level restructuring is concerned with improving the overall architecture of the system, whereas low-level restructuring deals with repairing local problems which are symptoms of bad style. We propose to characterize these low-level problems as patterns of dependencies between classes as an aid in detecting and resolving them. In this paper we briefly present low-level problems and give two examples of how these can be characterized as specific dependency patterns.
