The Fundamental Computer Science contact group invites you to attend its next meeting which will be held on Thursday 22 May 2003 on the university campus of Louvain-la-Neuve, from 8h30 to 17h00.  Researchers willing to attend the meeting should send an email to Kim Mens (Kim.Mens@info.ucl.ac.be ) before monday 19 May 2003.

Theme:

The theme of the day is "Software (re-)engineering" understood in the widest possible sense.

Invited speaker:

Serge Demeyer is the author of a recent book on software re-engineering and will  present some of his experiences with reengineering very large software systems.

Object-Oriented Reengineering Patters

Surprising as it may seem, many of the early adopters of the object-oriented paradigm already face a number of problems typically encountered in large-scale legacy systems. Software engineers are now confronted with millions of lines of industrial source code, developped using object-oriented design methods and languages of the late 80s. These systems exhibit a range of problems, effectively preventing them from satisfying the evolving requirements imposed by their customers.

This presentation will share our knowledge concerning the reengineering of object-oriented legacy systems. We will draw upon our experiences with the FAMOOS project, to show you techniques and tools we have applied on real industrial OO systems to detect and repair problems.
