Abstract

Much of today´s software development involves reengineering legacy applications, but the bulk of research and tools address new software development. The Distributed Object Management Integration System (DOMIS, 1993-96) project investigated how legacy applications can be incrementally modified, or migrated, by using distributed object management (DOM) technology. The paper describes a methodology for such migration using DOM technology
