Expected Results

Comparison of tools

Identifying the strengths and weaknesses of a number of tools will serve to codify knowledge about reverse engineering tools. We also expect to learn about which tools work well together, and by extension the steps necessary to achieve greater tool interoperability.
These lessons can be used to improve existing tools and to develop better ones, as well as acquire the experience necessary to design infrastructure for community-wide sharing of tools.

Community Building

In this collaborative demonstration, participants will necessarily work together to produce results as well as interacting during the presentations and discussion. Furthermore, the collaboration will also promote learning and exploration of interoperability between reverse engineering tools.

The results from the first phase of this collaborative exercise were presented at the WCRE'2001 working conference in Stuttgart, October 2-5, 2001. Details on expected deliverables were outlined in the handbook.
