Abstract

Software reuse has been demonstrated to increase productivity, reduce costs and improve software quality. Most research in the area of extraction of reusable code from legacy code has concentrated on code created in the functional decomposition paradigm. However, in recent years much object-oriented code has been written. This paper describes a knowledge-based approach to the identification of reusable components in object-oriented legacy code
