*Software Architecture Recovery and Modelling* 
		  
*WCRE 2001 Discussion Forum*

_Stuttgart, 2 October, 2001_

Software architecture recovery aims at presenting existing
software systems at the more abstract, architectural level.
Architecture recovery research issues include many topics,
such as system browsing, dealing with multiple
perspectives, visualization, usability evaluations, 
reference architectures, interface description, remodularization, 
and so on.

The Software Architecture Recovery and Modelling (SWARM)
discussion forum is intended
for researchers in the area of architecture extraction
to discuss their progress and explore future directions. 
The goals of the working session are
	* to exchange experience;
	* to discuss new application areas;
	* to discover areas of mutual collaboration; and
	* to envision future trends in the field of software architecture recovery.
SWARM is part of WCRE 2001, the 8th Working Conference on ReverseEngineering.

*Workshop Report*

The discussions of SWARM 2001 are summarized in
	* ArieVanDeursen. Software Architecture Recovery and Modelling. AppliedComputingReview, 2002, http://www.cwi.nl/~arie/swarm2001/report.pdf.

Below you can find the program as well as the position papers presented at the workshop.

A sequel to this workshop was organized at WCRE 2002.
Another follow up activity is the SwarmDagstuhl.


*Workshop Format*
  
Presentations take 10 minutes, followed by 5 minutes of discussion. In order to stimulate informed debate, each position paper has a discussant assigned, who has the task to study the position
paper in advance, and prepare one or two questions. Each session is concluded with 15 minutes of discussion. 

The workshop opens with an introduction session where participants can raise the questions they would like to get addressed in the workshop; in the concluding wrap up we'll evaluate how far we
got in answering these questions.
