Abstract
An infrastructure is a set of interconnected structural elements,
such as tools and schemas, that provide a framework
for supporting an entire structure. The reverse engineering
community has recognized the importance of interoperability,
the cooporation of two or more systems to
enable the exchange and utilization of data, and has noted
that the current lack of interoperability is a contributing factor
to the lack of adoption of available infrastructures. To
address the problems of interoperability and reproducing
previous results, we present an infrastructure that supports
interoperability among reverse engineering tools and applications.
We present the design of our infrastructure, including
the hierarchy of schemas that captures the interactions
among graph structures. We also develop and utilize
our implementation, which is designed using a GXL-based
pipe-filter architecture, to perform a case study that demonstrates
the feasibility of our infrastructure.
