Abstract
The issue of the interaction between structured and formal notations in reverse-engineering and maintenance is discussed, and a process which uses both forms of representation to support application understanding, evaluation, assessment, redesign, and reengineering is described. This process is supported by prototype tools implemented on the REDO toolkit and repository for reverse-engineering.>
