Distributed applications address the needs of heterogeneous networks of human activities, therefore they must consist of balanced, relatively autonomous intercommunicating components. Unfortunately, real-world systems do often not follow these requirements, or their architecture gets degraded in time by many ad-hoc changes. Consequently, these systems have to go frequently through the costly and oftentimes...
When aiming to understand object-oriented distributed applications, reverse engineering processes can model the systems by representing the aspects specific to the object orientation. While these representations provide means for in-depth analysis of various characteristics of the applications, such approaches may ignore their most important traits, specifically those related to the distribution itself...
Understanding object-oriented distributed applications is currently an important concern as this type of systems is widely represented in the industry. While analyzing such systems can be done using the available tools built for understanding general, object-oriented, systems, they may fail to capture the most important aspect of this type of systems: their distribution-related functionality. This...
The software industry is increasingly facing the issues of understanding and maintaining a particular type of software systems, namely distributed systems. While these systems are usually implemented in an object-oriented fashion, they raise very specific, and technology-dependent, understandability and quality assessment challenges. In this paper we present a novel approach for understanding a distributed...
The software industry is increasingly confronted with the issues of understanding and maintaining a special type of software systems, namely distributed systems.
