Abstract :
Research methodology from cognitive science and artificial intelligence is applied to the problem of software representation to support the process of software change. A model of software to support change, suggested by the current research, is presented. Populating that model requires data from tasks related to code-based functional decomposition, data abstraction, and functional data flows. A competence model for the task of code-based functional decomposition is proposed
