Abstract :
The paper describes our work on reengineering legacy procedural software systems to object oriented equivalents. The method proposed is based on applying design transformations to appropriate scenarios preserving behaviour. Our work is illustrated via a CASE tool which has been developed allowing an object oriented structure to be extracted from structured C code
