Abstract: The database reverse engineering problems and
solving processes are getting mature, even though, the academic
community is facing the complex problem of knowledge transfer,
both in university and industrial contexts. This paper presents a new
CASE tool developed at the University of Jordan which addresses an
efficient support of this transfer, namely UJ-CASE-TOOL. It is a
small and self-contained application exhibiting representative
problems and appropriate solutions that can be understood in a
limited time. It presents an algorithm that describes the developed
academic CASE tool which has been used for several years both as
an illustration of the principles of database reverse engineering and
as an exercise aimed at academic and industrial students.
