Reverse Engineering of Object Oriented Code (Monographs in Computer Science) - Hardcover

From the reviews of the first edition:

"The monograph at hand is a well-written, well-structured guide for reverse engineering of complex object-oriented programs i.e., for extracting original design specifications as far as possible in a form easily understandable by a re-designer team. ... 100 + literature references at the end of the book demonstrate the deep research and strong know-how of the authors and make the book a valuable monographic textbook for reverse engineering courses of object-oriented programs." (Hans-Jürgen Hoffmann, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1070, 2005)

Describes how to design object-oriented code and accompanying algorithms that can be reverse engineered for greater flexibility in future code maintenance and alteration.

Provides essential object-oriented concepts and programming methods for software engineers and researchers.
