The  goals of this  tutorial  are to:  (i) give the  reader  a quick
introduction  to the field of software  renovation  as a whole; (ii)
show that  many  techniques  from  compiler  technology  and  formal
methods can be applied; (iii)  demonstrate  that research  should be
driven by real-life,  industrial,  case  studies; and (iv)  indicate
that many  challenging  problems  are  still  unsolved.  During  the
