He set the context for the early 1990s in Information and busine... Read More about Resetting the compass for the business information landscape.

Tackling the abstraction problem for reverse engineering in a system re-engineering approach. (1998)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Yang, H., Liu, X., & Zedan, H. (1998, March). Tackling the abstraction problem for reverse engineering in a system re-engineering approach

It is widely accepted that reverse engineering has three components: restructuring, comprehension and production of formal specification. In this paper, we advocate that the three components could be achieved in a systematic approach by successfully...
