Software product lines aim in having a common platform from which several similar products can be derived. The elements of the platform are called assets and they are managed in an asset base being part of the product line infrastructure. Assets can include own developments, open source or third-party software modules, as well as design and project documents. In the context of the European-wide project FAMILIES, we concentrated on techniques used to populate the asset base by recovering assets from existing systems. We present an approach on how to incorporate existing assets into the product line infrastructure. Thereby we explicitly distinguish the asset origins and the different information sources available. The incorporation is a quality-driven process that is backed up by a set of reverse engineering techniques to evaluate the asset's internal quality. The quality assessment of an asset is the critical measurement for industrial development organizations in order to incorporate assets into their product line infrastructure.

The today’s diffusion of web services and service‐ oriented architecture is posing the basis for radical changes in the way of developing, evolving and testing software systems. This tutorial outlines some main research challenges on this topic, and provides guidelines and practical solutions for i) realizing service‐oriented systems able to support QoS-aware dynamic binding ii) helping the comprehension of service‐oriented systems and iii) testing service‐ oriented systems.

A significant aspect in applying the reflexion method is the mapping of components found in the source code onto the conceptual components defined in the hypothesized architecture. To date, this mapping is established manually, which requires a lot of work for large software systems. In this paper, we present a new approach, in which clustering techniques are applied to support the user in the mapping activity. The result is a semi-automated mapping technique that accommodates the automatic clustering of the source model with the user's hypothesized knowledge about the system's architecture. This paper describes also a case study in which our semi-automated mapping technique has been applied successfully to extend a partial map of a real-world software application

This paper presents an approach for dealing with multi-language software systems. Much of the focus of reverse engineering tools is in analyzing software systems written in one programming language. Nowadays, the abundance of new technologies and languages used to ease application development raises new challenges for reverse engineers. Therefore, this paper focuses on finding cross-language dependencies in such diverse, heterogeneous software systems. Our approach uses source navigator extractors to produce the facts inside each language. Then, we show an example for finding Java Native Interface (JNI) dependencies between facts from Java and C/C++ code. The integrated facts are produced in GXL form, and conform to a unified schema introduced in the paper. This approach is useful from several perspectives. It illustrates how to retrieve the dependencies from software systems written in more than one programming language. Also, the generated facts conform to the GXL format, which is accepted by many reverse engineering tools. The usefulness and scalability of the approach are tested in a case study.

Reverse engineering aims at extracting many kinds of information from existing software and using this information for system renovation and program understanding. The goal of this full day WCRE'05 workshop is to identify methods and techniques for Reverse Engineering from software to Requirements (RETR).
