Abstract:
In this paper, we describe a process and a meta model that we are defining for the reuse of legacy based systems. This aims at filing the gap between design level bridges and the implementation of interoperability. Our proposal is a component based integration process, a metamodel based on welle known component research results and a reuse architecture allowing an operational integration of legacy applications. The metamodel, called Ugatze is composed by a set of UML packages covering multiple Viewpoints of the reuse activity. Ugatze is the Basque name for the Bearded Vulture, it reuses bones of death animals to eat, and its re-integration in Basque Country seems to be difficult, but it is a challenge.
