Probabilistic component identification
Hitesh Sajnani, Cristina Videira Lopes · 2014
Automatic component identification is an important step for many software engineering tasks and tools, from reverse engineering to program comprehension. Although being a topic of research for a long time, generally applicable solutions remain elusive with very low recall. Most component identification techniques impose structure on the software, therefore requiring substantial knowledge about the software, instead of inferring such structure.
