A process for reverse engineering a relational database into an extended Entity-Relationship (EER) schema at a high level of automation is presented. We focus on two essential performance evaluation criteria of the reverse engineering process: 1) which of the reverse engineering operations can be fully automated, and 2) whether these operations can be implemented efficiently. The latter issue is addressed by time complexity analysis of pseudo-code algorithms which implement the everse engineering method.Read the full paper here: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/BFb0024379
