Abstract: Nevertheless spreadsheets were originally designed for computing purposes and for commercial applications, they are often used in industry to implement Information Systems, thanks to the functionalities offered by integrated scripting languages and ad-hoc frameworks (e.g., Visual Basic for Applications). This technological solution allows the adoption of Rapid Application Development processes for the quickly development of Spreadsheets-based Information Systems, but the resulting systems are quite difficult to be maintained and very difficult to be migrated to other architectures such as Database-oriented Informative Systems or Web applications. In this paper we present an approach for reverse engineering the data model from an Excel spreadsheet-based information system. The approach exploits a set of heuristic rules that are automatically applied in a seven-steps process. The applicability of the process has been shown in an industrial context where it was used to obtain the UML c lass diagrams representing the conceptual data models of three spreadsheet-based information systems.
