Moose: an Extensible Language-Independent Environment for Reengineering Object-Oriented Systems
Sté́phane Ducasse, Michele Lanza, Sander Tichelaar · Bern Open Repository and Information System (University of Bern)
Surprising as it may seem, many of the early adopters of the object-oriented paradigm already face a number of problems typically encountered in large-scale legacy systems. The reengineering of those systems often poses problems because of the considerable size and complexity of such systems. In the context of the FAMOOS project we have developed a language independent environment called Moose which can deal with that complexity. This paper describes the architecture of Moose, the tools which have been developed around it and the industrial experiences we have obtained.
