Abstract

A critical problem in many businesses today is in reengineering legacy information systems to operate on the Internet. Migrating a sequentially structured program to the Internet requires restructuring it to be event-driven to accommodate a new web-based user interface. The Model Oriented Reengineering Process for Human-Computer Interface (MORPH) technique and toolset were developed to automatically reengineer legacy character-oriented applications to graphical user interfaces. This paper explores the restructuring issues inherent in migrating legacy applications to the Internet, and how the MORPH technique assists in automating this process.
