Software architecture modeling and representation are a main phase of the development process of complex systems. In fact, software architecture representation provides many advantages during all phases of software life cycle. Nevertheless, for many systems, like legacy or eroded ones, there is no available representation of their architectures. In order to benefit from this representation, we propose, in this thesis, an approach called ROMANTIC which focuses on recovering a component-based architecture from an existing object-oriented system. This recover is a balancing problem of competing constraints which aims at obtaining the best architecture that can be abstracted from a system. Consequently, the main idea of this approach is to propose a quasi-automatic process of architecture identification by formulating it as a search-based problem. The latter acts on the space composed of all possible architectures abstracting the object-oriented system and use the architectural semantic and quality to choose the best solution. The process uses the intentional system architecture by means of the documentation and the architect's recommendations.
