Automated program transformation for migration to new libraries

Abstract

In modern software engineering the task of migration from one system environment to another may arise very often (e.g. software migrating from Windows to Linux or from desktop PC to some mobile platform). This task may be accomplished manually, but this will certainly be not cost- and time-effective and will require additional testing and verification. Therefore various automated techniques aimed to solve this problem seem to be very useful. The article takes into consideration one of such approaches, mainly focused on transferring source code between two library environments.
