SML cracks 50 billion line legacy Assembler re-engineering problem. (Software Tools).Owners of legacy software written in Assembler Software that translates assembly language into machine language. Contrast with compiler, which is used to translate a high-level language, such as COBOL or C, into assembly language first and then into machine language. can re-engineer their applications to a more modern; e-business (Electronic-BUSINESS) Doing business online. The term is often used synonymously with e-commerce, but e-business is more of an umbrella term for having a presence on the Web. focused environment; through a new system by Software Migrations Limited (SML 1.

Comment: Using the Fermat technique; complex re-engineered and transformed into a more modern and flexible Java, C or CoBOL-based environment Re-engineering legacy Assembler code has always been seen as one of the most significant barriers to effectively transforming mixed Assembler and COBOL COBOL: see programming language. COBOL in full Common Business-Oriented Language. High-level computer programming language, one of the first widely used languages and for many years the most popular language in the business community. application. Compared to COBOL and other legacy languages, Assembler is any where from 3-5 times more complex (According to according to prep. 1.

Fermat captures the functionality of an Assembler application and using a series of mathamatically proved code transformation, restructures and re-engineers the code without changing its original functionality. www.sml.com |
