A Case-Based Reasoning Method for Processing Model Recognition and Reuse in Program Comprehension

Applying cased-based reasoning (CBR) method in program understanding provides a practical route towards more powerful software engineering technology. A CBR approach to the recognition of model component is presented, and the whole reasoning process of the recognition is presented, including a case representation method and a matching algorithm. A prototype system named process model component recognition & reuse (PMCRR) is developed to implement model transformation and reconstruction. At last, an example is illustrated to check the efficiency of CBR method
