Abstract
Description
This paper introduces an innovative approach to recovering domain knowledge with enhanced reliability from source code. Domain knowledge is divided into inter-connected knowledge slices which are matched against the source code. Each knowledge slice has its own authenticity evaluation function which takes the belief of the evidences it needs as input and the authenticity of the knowledge slice is produced. These slices are arranged to exchange beliefs with each other through inter-connections, i.e., concepts, to obtain a better evaluation of the authenticity. Rooted in cognitive science and social psychology, the approach adds rigour to the comprehension process.
