Abstract

The purpose of the work presented here is to convert the design documentation of procedural application systems into an object-oriented design for the purpose of populating an object-oriented repository. The prerequisite is to have a single design representation-the object model as specified in the OMG Unified Modeling Language. That entails transforming procedural programs into class hierarchies as described in this paper. The technique used is an adaptation of the dominance tree approach described in previous papers from Burd and Munro combined with the precedence graphs proposed by Horwitz and Reps.
