Abstract

Software migration is an inherently knowledge intensive activity, which requires a great amount of expertise and experience from different sources. Knowledge-based approach to software migration has a great potential for improving traditional approaches. In this paper, an Ontology-based PlaTform-specIfic software Migration Approach (OPTIMA) is proposed. Firstly, the background and the related work are introduced, and the ontology design for platform- specific software migration is discussed. Secondly, the architecture and workflow of OPTIMA are illustrated with a prototype tool. Thirdly, the case study is used for experiments with the approach and the prototype tool, and finally, the conclusion is drawn and further research directions are speculated.
