Process algebras offer both a formal framework for representing communicating processes and a proof theory for proving semantic equivalences between them. Programs and program fragments are denoted as concurrent agents and code behaviour is defined in terms of interactions among agents in a process algebra representation suitable for subsequent analysis. Semantic and behavioural equivalences between programming plans, which represent programming stereo-types, and code fragments can be defined in this formal system together with a deduction system to prove them. Several advantages and further research issues on the use of process algebra for reverse engineering and maintenance are identified and discussed.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":151277,"journal":{"name":"[1993] IEEE Second Workshop on Program Comprehension","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131177567","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They aim at understanding old programs, which have become very complex due to numerous extensions. From a given Fortran program and these values of its input variables, the tool provides a simplified program, which behaves like the initial one for the specific values. This tool uses mainly constant propagation and simplification of alternatives to one of their branches. The tool is specified in inference rules and operates by induction on the Fortran abstract syntax. These rules are compiled into Prolog by the Centaur/Fortran environment.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":151277,"journal":{"name":"[1993] IEEE Second Workshop on Program Comprehension","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125132792","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Program comprehension in CARE is accomplished by visualizing program dependencies (i.e. entities and their relations). A repository of such dependencies is maintained and displayed using a graphical model which combines control and data-flow information. Moreover, CARE entails transformation tools and abstraction mechanisms that support monolithic and multiple-view organization of program dependencies. Results from an experimental study with the CARE environment has shown that the productivity of its users was increased and the quality of the changes made during a software maintenance task was improving. Finally, the lessons learned from an empirical evaluation of the CARE environment indicated that its graphical model, transformation tools and abstraction mechanisms constitute a promising platform for the comprehension of C programs.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":151277,"journal":{"name":"[1993] IEEE Second Workshop on Program Comprehension","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122800762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through the use of different views a maintainer can gain a much clearer understanding of a program. A drawback of static analysis tools is that various representations of the code are required to construct the different views of the program. A solution is to devise a single combined representation containing sufficient information to allow construction of each required view. The paper describes research to extend an existing unified interprocedural graph to allow the representation of C programs. Techniques for the dependence analysis of pointer variables are described and the construction of interprocedural definition-use information in the presence of pointer parameters addressed. A fine grained program representation, the Combined C Graph (CCG), containing three new edge types is introduced.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":151277,"journal":{"name":"[1993] IEEE Second Workshop on Program Comprehension","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125163586","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The authors present a significant advance in this area, which is achieved by modelling real-time concurrent programs in the wide spectrum language WSL. They show how a sequential program with interrupts can be modelled in WSL, and the method is then extended to model more general concurrent programs. They show how a program modelled in this way may subsequently be 'inverse engineered' by the use of formal program transformations, to discover a specification for the program.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":151277,"journal":{"name":"[1993] IEEE Second Workshop on Program Comprehension","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125271270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Top-down approaches require advance knowledge of what the program is supposed to do, which is rarely available with aging software systems. Bottom-up approaches require complete matching of the program against a library of programming plans, which is impractical with the large plan libraries needed to understand programs that contain many domain-specific plans. This paper presents a hybrid approach to program understanding that uses an indexed, hierarchical organization of the plan library to limit the number of candidate plans considered during program understanding. This approach is based on observations made from studying student programmers attempt to perform bottom-up understanding on geometrically-oriented C functions.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":151277,"journal":{"name":"[1993] IEEE Second Workshop on Program Comprehension","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123943944","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to analyze program complexity much effort has been spent to measure the complexity of programs. For this reason hundreds of software complexity measures have been proposed.

It is also shown that using measurement theoretic numerical conditions from software complexity measures can be translated back to empirical conditions. That means the term comprehension can be described by empirical axioms. This approach makes it easier to talk about the term program comprehension.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":151277,"journal":{"name":"[1993] IEEE Second Workshop on Program Comprehension","volume":"13 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124092462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
