Abstract
The E-CARES project addresses the reengineering of large and complex telecommunication systems. Within this project, graph-based reengineering tools are being developed which support not only the understanding of the static structure of the software system under study. In addition, they support the analysis and visualization of its dynamic behavior. The E-CARES prototype is based on a programmed graph rewriting system from which the underlying application logic is generated. Furthermore, it makes use of a configurable framework for building the user interface. In this demo, we show by example how the different tools within the prototype work and how the analysis results are represented to the user.
E-CARES is an acronym for Ericsson Communication ARchitecture for Embedded Systems [4]. The project is funded by Ericsson Eurolab Deutschland GmbH
