System Design and Management Program. System Design and Management Program. System Design and Management Program. Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, System Design and Management Program, 2008. Includes bibliographical references (leaf 81). In this thesis I will explore the controversial topic of reverse engineering, illustrating with case examples drawn from the data storage industry. I will explore intellectual property rights issues including, users' fair-use provisions that permit reverse engineering. I will also explore the nature of the practice via several types of analyses including: the costs and benefits of reverse engineering; the practical limitations of reverse engineering; and a layered approach to reverse engineering as it applies to complex systems. I will conclude with a discussion of innovation and its relationship to reverse engineering by Cenkhan Kodak.
