Abstract

The FermaT transformation system, based on research carried out over the last sixteen years at Durham University, De Montfort University and Software Migrations Ltd., is an industrial-strength formal transformation engine with many applications in program comprehension and language migration. This paper is a case study, which uses automated plus manually directed transformations and abstractions to convert an IBM 370 Assembler code program into a very high-level abstract specification.
