Definition of processes for MDE-based migrations

Nowadays, lots of companies are migrating their legacy applications since they are difficult to extend and maintain. On the other hand, MDE techniques applied to software migration are gaining popularity due to their ability to automate this kind of processes. We propose an approach to guide developers in the model-driven migration of legacy systems. A metamodel inspired by SPEM to represent model-driven software migration processes is presented, which is used to derive models that represent migration processes for particular legacy applications.
