Recovering abstract data types and object instances from a conventional procedural language

As part of our investigations on recovering software architectural representations from source code, we have developed, implemented and tested an interactive approach to the recovery of implicit abstract data types (ADTs) and object instances from conventional procedural languages such as C. This approach includes automatic recognition and semi-automatic techniques that handle potential recognition pitfalls. We have also developed a scale with which to compare much of the work on recovering ADTs and object classes
