Reengineering a program visualization tool

Abstract

As part of an ongoing project at Auburn University we have developed GRASP/Ada, a program visualization tool that supports both reverse engineering and forward engineering of Ada source code. This paper describes our current work in reengineering the GRASP/Ada system. Although the basic functionality of the tool will remain unchanged, our reengineering effort will completely reimplement GRASP/Ada and fundamentally change our approach to rendering graphical representations from source code.
