More Book Details

Description of the Book:

High level abstractions from programs can be obtained by extracting relational information from programs to form a software object network, and deriving high level abstractions from that network. The authors show how to obtain several interesting abstractions such as subsystems, ripple effects, logical layers and modules from a software object network represented by a C program database. These abstractions assist programmers in understanding the program structure and point out potential areas for improvement. This document then demonstrates how rule-based software restructing can be performed by accessing the relational information stored in the program database. Keywords: Computer programming; CIA(C Information Abstraction
