Working session on interoperable reengineering services

Interoperability is the challenge involved in getting software components to work together. This working session discusses in depth the state of the art in reengineering tool interoperability. A distinction is made between data interoperability and service interoperability. The limitations and promise of each of these aspects of interoperability is introduced. Examples of existing solutions and an examination of the ways they can be improved to further enhance the reengineering process is discussed. An evaluation of open problems shows future research perspectives in reengineering tool interoperability.
