Abstract and Precise Recovery of UML Class Diagram Constituents [pdf]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
Existing reverse-engineering tools use algorithms based on vague and verbose definitions of UML constituents to recover class diagrams from source code. Thus, reverse-engineered class diagrams are neither abstract nor precise representations of source code and are of little interest for software engineers. We propose a exhaustive study of class diagrams constituents with respect to their recovery from \Cpp, Java, and §malltalk source code. Finally, we suggest a road-map to abstract and precise reverse-engineering.
