Abstract
This paper presents a methodology for extracting objects from legacy imperative code. The parameter-based object identification (PBOI) methodology is based on the thesis that object attributes manifest themselves as data items passed from subprogram to subprogram in the imperative paradigm. A taxonomy of imperative subprograms is presented and the PBOI methodology is defined. Several examples are provided
