Abstract
Architecture recovery is concerned with deriving high-level architectural information from the information available about a system. The available information usually consists of the source code of the system, various documents, and possibly domain and application experts. Most architecture recovery efforts aim to use automatic tools as much as possible. In many cases the goal of architecture recovery is to produce the architecture of one or more existing, successful, systems in order to use it as the basis for developing a family architecture for a product family.
