After four years of research within the PLANETS project and two years of KEEP the jigsaw puzzle of emulation be-comes a more complete picture. Emulation strategies are now seen as a viable complement to migration. A con-ceptual and theoretical groundwork has already been laid out, e.g. proper definition and selection of suitable emu-lators. However, integration into preservation frameworks and additional software archiving remain open research questions. This paper discusses several aspects of reliable integration and proposes development steps for a more complete emulation-based strategies in long-term preser-vation.
