abstract = {Tools support is recognised as a key issue in the
reengineering of large scale object-oriented systems.
However, due to the heterogeneity in today's
object-oriented programming languages, it is hard to
reuse reengineering tools across legacy systems. This
paper proposes a language independent exchange model,
so that tools may perform their tasks independent of
the underlying programming language. Beside
supporting reusability between tools, we expect that
this exchange model will enhance the interoperability
between tools for metrics, visualization,
reorganisation and other reengineering activities.},
