Abstract

In this paper a reengineering approach is presented which uses graph transformations as formal background. The term reengineering describes any kind of activities concerned with the renewal and improvement of existing (software) applications. For this purpose the structure of an application has to be recovered to get information about relevant components and their relations. In this context graph rewriting systems are used to specify objects and relations and to determine possible changes in order to improve the system.
