Abstract

This paper reviews the progress-to-date of the application of program reverse engineering technologies to a large-scale legacy software product. Basic reverse engineering concepts and a project overview are outlined, followed by a description of the legacy software product, the reverse engineering toolkit used, and analysis and discussion of the experiences so far. Future research directions and summary comments are then detailed.
