Abstract

We describe an architecture recovery experiment performed on a distributed software system. Our main aim was to identify those situations in which existing reverse engineering techniques could be satisfactorily applied and those situations where such techniques would produce only limited or inaccurate results. Based on this experience, we propose ways in which these techniques can be improved.
