Abstract

“Layering” is a visualisation technique that enables basic relationships between software system components to be overlaid with the results of more sophisticated design recovery analyses. Layering can be implemented via a simple presentation tool, to which the results of different analysers can be coupled. Knowledge-based analysis technology can be extended to support Ada83-Ada95 conversion. Taking advantage of the self-implementation of the enabling technology, the conversion tool can be involuted so that the enabling technology itself is able to be represented in Ada95.
