Abstract :
The authors present an approach for the generation of components for a software renovation factory. These components are generated from a context-free grammar definition that recognizes the code that has to be renovated. They generate analysis and transformation components that can be instantiated with a specific transformation or analysis task. They apply their approach to COBOL and discuss the construction of realistic software renovation components using the approach
