Abstract
--------

Many reverse-engineering tools have been developed to derive abstract
representations from source code. Yet, most of these tools completely ignore
recovery of the all-importnat rationale behind the design decisions that have
led to its physical shape. Design patterns capture the rationale behind proven
design solutions and discuss the trade-offs among their alternatives. We argue
that it is these patterns of thought that are at the root of many of the key
elements of large-scale software systems, and that, in order to comprehend
these systems, we need to recover and understand the patterns on which they
were built.
 
In this talk, we present our environment for the reverse engineering of design
components based on the structural descriptions of design patterns. We give an
overview of the environment, explain several case studies, and discuss how
pattern-based reverse-engineering helped gain insight into the design
rationale of some of the pieces of three large-scale C++ software systems.
