Architecture Extraction

ArchitectureExtraction is an attempt to recover SoftwareArchitecture from, for example, the source of a LegacySystem. ArchitectureExtraction typically starts with FactsExtraction.

An incomplete list of projects working on software architecture extraction is:

• BauHaus
• DaliWorkbench
• PortableBookShelf
• RigiSystem
• SoftwareRenovationAtCWI
• SoftwareImprovementGroup
• XrayArchitectureRecovery

Please update if you see something missing, or expand if you think there is more to say on a topic.
