Reengineering Forum    

      The Reengineering Forum ("REF") is an industry association to encourage combined industry/research review of the state of the art and the state of the practice in reengineering of software, systems, and business processes. It is a meeting place for key people in the reengineering and reverse engineering fields: developers, researchers, and leading-edge users.

      The Reengineering Forum ("REF") is a 501(c)(6) tax-exempt non-profit industry association.
      It is incorporated in Massachusetts as Reverse Engineering Forum Inc.
       
      As of September 2003, industry activities of IWCASE, a 501(c)(6) association for promotion of computer-aided software engineering (CASE), tools, and methods founded in 1987, became part of the Reengineering Forum. REF will continue the Stevens Award and the Stevens Lecture on Software Development Methods. IWCASE's STEP workshop is now sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society.
