Abstract
Reengineering large and complex software systems is often very costly. Reflexion models let software engineers begin with a structural high level model that they can selectively refine to rapidly gain task spec ific knowledge about the source code. The authors describe how a Micro soft engineer used this technique in an experimental reengineering of Excel.
