Eighth IEEE International Working Conference on Source Code Analysis and Manipulation

Abstract—

   More and more current software systems rely on
non trivial coordination logic for combining autonomous services
typically running on different platforms and often owned by
different organizations. Often, however, coordination data is
deeply entangled in the code and, therefore, difficult to isolate
and analyse separately.
   COORDINSPECTOR is a software tool which combines slicing
and program analysis techniques to isolate all coordination
elements from the source code of an existing application. Such a
reverse engineering process provides a clear view of the actually
invoked services as well as of the orchestration patterns which
bind them together.
   The tool analyses Common Intermediate Language (CIL) code,
the native language of Microsoft .Net Framework. Therefore,
the scope of application of COORDINSPECTOR is quite large:
potentially any piece of code developed in any of the programming
languages which compiles to the .Net Framework.
The tool generates graphical representations of the coordination
layer together and identifies the underlying business process
orchestrations, rendering them as Orc specifications.
