Dynamic Analysis for Model Integration (Extended Abstract)

Abstract

In reengineering, legacy systems have to be analyzed from different viewpoints. Models dealing with certain aspects of a system are used for that purpose, most of which are generated by fact extractors and parsers. Since all of those models describe certain aspects of the same system, they have to be integrated with each other to allow a comprehensive analysis of the system as a whole. This paper presents an approach using dynamic analysis to identify and manifest relationships between static model elements. It exemplifies the approach by integrating a business process model with a source code model.
