View-Based Retriever: Reverse Engineering Software Architecture Models

Karlsruhe Institute of Technology provides a dataset and replication package for the view-based Retriever approach to reverse engineering software architecture models. The dataset includes configuration files, architectural models, Palladio Component Models, PlantUML diagrams, and manually created gold standards. Author Yves R. Kirschner published this dataset on paperswithcode.

Use Cases

• Benchmarking reverse engineering tools based on the provided gold-standard architectural models.
• Generating Palladio Component Models (PCM) for performance analysis based on extracted system rules.
• Creating PlantUML diagrams for system visualization based on automatically generated architectural models.
• Testing rule-based model generation approaches using the provided configuration and rule files.

Strengths

• Includes manually created gold-standard models for validation.
• Provides multiple model representations (PCM, PlantUML) for the same systems.
• Contains configuration files specifying the rules and version used for model generation.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
