Legacy System Cataloging Facility
Philip H. Newcomb · 2002
Describes a software model construction and management tool that provides a foundation for legacy systems modeling, analysis and transformation on an enterprise scale. The Legacy System Cataloging Facility provides a scalable, multi-tiered hierarchical storage mechanism for managing legacy system as persistent, high-fidelity software models within a distributed-computing framework. The Legacy System Cataloging Facility is one facet of a knowledge based tools framework for reverse engineering, reengineering and reuse that supports the transitioning of existing systems to support business process reengineering (BPR) as well as more traditional incremental maintenance activities.
