RENAISSANCE Documents Introduction Foundations Method Book Introduction The RENAISSANCE project produces many deliverables which are of general interest to the Software Reengineering community. These documents are made publicly available through this web site. These deliverables are subdivided into two main categories: Method Foundations Reports The RENAISSANCE Method Handbook In addition to these documents, the project will publish a book on software reengineering entitled: "The RENAISSANCE of Legacy Systems" Method Foundations Reports These documents furnish the reader with an overview of both the technical and managerial aspects of software evolution and reengineering. The RENAISSANCE consultancy reports describe how existing technology can be deployed to solve evolution problems. Specific and detailed advice on migrating from centralised systems to distributed client-server systems is given. This is supplemented by a number of briefing reports which describe related key technologies.
