Our major activity during the spring quarter was the continued development of the Esprit de Corps Suite of legacy system evolution support tools. The tool suite which was demoed in Arlington consists of the following tools.

• ISVis - architectural extraction and localization tool.
• SIRRINE - model-based diagnosis and adaption tool supporting the MESA process.
• VisEd - a general-purpose architecture visualization tool.
• ACMEServer - infrastructure communications support tool for interfacing to ACMELib representations.
• ScenIC View - scenario management tool.
• REMORA - reconciles multiple views of a software architecture.
• Dowser - domain-based program understanding tools.
• SAAMPad - rationale capture and playback tool.
• MORPH - user interface migration tools.

We have also worked at integrating these tools using ACME.

• We have continued working with Spectra Research to transition our reverse engineering technology. They are productizing the Dowser tool for delivery to Army development organizations. They also attended the Arlington demonstrations at our invitation.
• A tutorial on the MORALE process has been accepted for presentation at the International Conference on Software Maintenance to be held this fall in Oxford, England.
• A tutorial on requirements engineering by Colin Potts has been presented at CEIRE'98 and ICSE'99.
