Abstract

We present a reengineering approach for decomposing existing object-oriented systems into subsystems that have low coupling and are suitable for distribution. We use reverse engineering techniques for the architectural and design recovery. We use object-oriented metrics techniques for the assessment of relationships and interactions between object-oriented constructs such as classes, objects, and methods. Next, we use data mining techniques to discover associations in the underlying system and clustering techniques to create a hierarchical grouping of subsystems that is convenient for guiding the allocation of the subsystems to a hierarchical network. Finally, we efficiently allocate subsystems to different sites by mapping the hierarchical decomposition of subsystems to a hierarchical network representation. For the implementation, we use middleware technologies.
