The paper presents an overview of the role of concepts in program comprehension. It discusses concept location, in which the implementation of a specific concept is located in the code. This process is very common and precedes a large proportion of code changes. The paper also discusses the process of learning about the domain from the code, which is aprerequisite of code reengineering. The paper notes the similarities and overlaps between program comprehension and human learning.
