Increasingly, software system professionals are discovering just how difficult it is to work with these inherited, non-optimal applications.

William Opdyke's doctoral research on refactoring object-oriented frameworks at the University of Illinois led to the first major publication on this topic. He is currently a Distinguished Member of Technical Staff at Lucent Technologies/Bell Laboratories.
