Abstract
According to L. Bass et al. [8], software architecture of a system is "the set of structures needed to reason about the system, which comprise software elements, relations among them, and properties of both." Software architecture is often unavailable because of reasons like architecture erosion and absence of relevant documentations [13]. To recover software architecture for regaining its advantages, various methods for software architecture reconstruction (SAR) [1,3,5,6] were proposed [13].

Runtime recovery and manipulation of software architecture of component-based systems
Recently, more attention is paid to the researches and practices on how to use software architecture in software maintenance and evolution to reduce their complexity and cost. The key in such architecture-based maintenance and evolution is to recover ...
Supporting runtime software architecture: A bidirectional-transformation-based approach
Runtime software architectures (RSA) are architecture-level, dynamic representations of running software systems, which help monitor and adapt the systems at a high abstraction level. The key issue to support RSA is to maintain the causal connection ...
Software Architecture Reconstruction: A Process-Oriented Taxonomy
To maintain and understand large applications, it is important to know their architecture. The first problem is that unlike classes and packages, architecture is not explicitly represented in the code. The second problem is that successful applications ...
