LegacyParsers

Participants : Muhammad Bhatti [Correspondant] , Nicolas Anquetil, Guillaume Larcheveque, Esteban Lorenzano, Gogui Ndong.

As part of our research on legacy software and also for the Synectique company), we started to define several parsers for old languages like Cobol for example. This work is important to help us validate our meta-model and tools against a larger range of existing technologies and to discover the limits of our approach. From our initial results, and the in-depth understanding that it gave us, we are formulating new research objectives in meta-model driven reverse engineering. This work is also important for the spin-off company, as being able to work with such technologies is fundamental.
