Model-Driven Software Migration: Process Model, Tool Support, And Application

Established software systems usually represent important assets, which are worth preserving in new software structures, to combine already proven functionality with the benefits of new technologies. The SOAMIG project is aimed at developing an adaptable migration process model with an accompanying tool support based on model-driven technologies. This process model, which combines reverse and forward engineering techniques, was applied in two different case studies on migrating a monolithic software system to service-oriented architecture and to a transformation-based language migration from COBOL to Java.
