Abstract

A generic architecture for semi-automated reengineering and conversion of legacy systems is motivated, devised, applied, and evaluated. The motivation for mere semi-automation (as opposed to full automation) is that perfectly automatic conversion is unattainable and that explicit attention should be paid to handling the residue gracefully. The architecture needs to satisfy a number of specific application-oriented constraints, and depends heavily on the Software Refinery metaprogramming environment for its realization
