  Abstract =     "Reverse engineering is an imperfect process driven by
                 imperfect knowledge. Most current reverse engineering
                 tools do not adequately consider these inherent
                 characteristics. They focus on representing precise,
                 complete, and consistent knowledge and work towards
                 enforcing predefined structures on the processes.
                 According to our experience, this design paradigm
                 seriously limits human-centred reverse engineering
                 tools. An altogether different approach is to directly
                 support the statement and subsequent resolution of
                 imperfections. Doing so requires the imperfect
                 knowledge be represented and imperfect procedures
                 accommodated for. This paper argues that effective
                 tools need to act as a manipulable medium for imperfect
                 knowledge and, based on our experiences with a
                 prototype, elaborate requirements for such tools.",
