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 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. By means of reuse and generators, the effort of implementing the E-CARES prototype is reduced considerably.
