Abstract :
Describes code cognition behaviors when maintenance engineers try to understand large-scale code. It reports on low level and higher level aggregate comprehension processes, hypotheses, and strategies. Results are based on the integrated meta-model of code cognition and use protocol analysis of code cognition sessions
