<h3>MoDisco</h3>
<div id="introText">
<p>Legacy systems embrace a large number of technologies, making the
development of tools to cope with legacy systems evolution a tedious and
time consuming task. As modernization projects face with both
technologies combination and various modernization situations,
model-driven approaches and tools offer the requisite abstraction level
to build up mature and flexible modernization solutions.</p>
<p>MoDisco provides an extensible framework to develop model-driven
tools to support use-cases of existing software modernization :</p>
</div>

<div class="block">
<h4>Quality Assurance</h4>
<p>Verifying whether an existing system meets the required qualities
(detection of anti-patterns in existing code and computation of
metrics.)</p>
</div>

<div class="block">
<h4>Documentation</h4>
<p>Extraction of information from an existing system to help
understanding one aspect of this system (structure, behaviour,
persistence, data-flow, change impact , etc).</p>
</div>

<div class="block">
<h4>Improvement</h4>
<p>Transformation of an existing system to integrate better coding
norms or design patterns.</p>
</div>

<div class="block">
<h4>Migration</h4>
<p>Transformation of an existing system to change a component, the
framework, the language, or its architecture</p>
</div>

</div>

<div class="block">
<p>In each case, modernizing an existing software system implies:</p>
<ul>
	<li>Describing the information extracted out of the artifacts of
	this system</li>
	<li>Understanding the extracted information in order to take the
	good modernization decisions</li>
	<li>Transforming this information to new artifacts facilitating
	the modernization (metrics, document, transformed code, ...)</li>
</ul>
</div>

<div class="block">
<p>MoDisco aims at supporting these three phases by providing :</p>
<ul>
	<li>Metamodels to describe existing systems</li>

	<li>Discoverers to automaticaly create models of these systems</li>
	<li>Generic tools to understand and transform complex models
	created out of existing systems</li>
	<li>Use-cases illustrating how MoDisco can support modernization
	process</li>
</ul>
