This paper proposes a general definition of self-stabilizing wait-free shared memory objects. The definition ensures that, even in the face of processor failures, every executio...
We present lock-free and wait-free universal constructions for implementing large shared objects. Most previous universal constructions require processes to copy the entire object...
One of the factors that can make a program di cult to understand is that code responsible for accomplishing more than one purpose may be woven together in a single section. We cal...
A legacy system is an operational, large-scale software system that is maintained beyond its first generation of programmers. It typically represents a massive economic investmen...

Reverse engineering of program code is the process of constructing a higher level abstraction of an implementation in order to facilitate the understanding of a system that may be...
