WOOR2004

Welcome to the Wiki of the International Workshop on Object-Oriented Reengineering

The fifth edition was be held at ECOOP 2004. Check out http://kilana.unibe.ch/woor for this year's edition.

What is available right now:

Objective

The ability to reengineer object-oriented legacy systems has become a vital matter in today's software industry. Early adopters of the object-oriented programming paradigm are now facing the problems of transforming their object-oriented "legacy" systems into full-fledged frameworks.

This Workshop on Object-Oriented Reengineering wants to gather people working on solutions for object-oriented legacy systems, and will be set up as a forum for exchanging experiences, discussing solutions, and exploring new ideas. We explicitly sollicit experience reports from the software industry as well as contributions from tool produces and methodology providers.

Areas of interests include, but are not limited to:

Intended Audience

The workshop is intended for software engineering professionals with experience in OO reengineering; either people who are actively engaged in reengineering projects, or people who develop methodologies and tools.

The organizers of the workshop are from the University of Berne, Switzerland, the University of Antwerp, Belgium, the University of Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, and the Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium. Prof. Stéphane Ducasse, from the University of Berne, is a member of the Software Composition Group headed by Prof. Oscar Nierstrasz. Prof. Serge Demeyer is leading a research group investigating the theme of "Software Reengineering" (LORE - Lab On REengineering). They are the authors of the book "Object-Oriented Reengineering Patterns" published by Morgan Kaufman.

Prof. Kim Mens is one of the originators of the "reuse contract" technique for automatically detecting conflicts in evolving software and is currently interested in the problem of "co-evolution" between source code and earlier life-cycle software artifacts.

Prof. Roel Wuyts started the Soul language, a logic programming language living in symbiosis with Smalltalk. Soul is primarily used to query source code for structural patterns.
