                  However, it can be observed that usually, only a subset
                  of the UML notation is supported, namely those parts with
                  a more or less direct code representation.  Although a
                  lot of research is done in this field, the more advanced
                  features of UML notations are not commonly supported in
                  reverse engineering. In this paper, we show approaches to
                  discover patterns in program code that can be represented
                  by means of advanced notational features of UML class
                  diagrams. We obtain the necessary information by reverse
                  engineering Java programs with different methods. These
                  have been implemented in a prototypical implementation.",
