Abstract

In this paper, we report on the development of a methodology for the evolution of software towards new architectures. In our approach, we represent source code as graphs. This enables the use of graph transformation rules, allowing the automation of the transformation process. Prior to its model representation, the source code is subject to a preparatory step of semi-automatic code annotation according to the contribution of each of its parts in the target architecture. This paper first describes the overall methodology and then focuses on the code annotation and model transformation parts. We also discuss issues of the implementation of the approach based on existing tools.
