Software modernization is a new research area in the software industry that is intended to provide support for transforming an existing software system to a new one that satisfies new demands. Software modernization requires technical frameworks for information integration and tool interoperability that allow managing new platform technologies, design techniques, and processes. To meet these demands, Architecture-Driven Modernization (ADM) has emerged as the new OMG (Object Management Group) initiative for modernization. Reverse engineering techniques play a crucial role in system modernization. This chapter describes the state of the art in the model-driven modernization area, reverse engineering in particular. A framework to reverse engineering models from object-oriented code that distinguishes three different abstraction levels linked to models, metamodels, and formal specification is described. The chapter includes an analysis of technologies that support ADM standards and provides a summary of the principles that can be used to govern current modernization efforts.

Open source software systems have poor or inexistent documentation and contributors are often scattered or missing. The reuse-based composition and maintenance of open source software systems therefore implies that program comprehension becomes a critical activity if all the embedded behavior is to be preserved. Program comprehension has traditionally been addressed by reverse engineering techniques which retrieve system design models such as class diagrams. These abstract representations provide a key artifact during migration or evolution. However, this method may retrieve large complex class diagrams which do not ensure a suitable program comprehension. This chapter attempts to improve program comprehension by providing a model-driven reverse engineering technique with which to obtain business processes models that can be used in combination with system design models such as class diagrams. The advantage of this approach is that business processes provide a simple system viewpoint at a higher abstraction level and filter out particular technical details related to source code. The technique is fully developed and tool-supported within an R&D project about global software development in which collaborate two universities and five companies. The automation of the approach facilitates its validation and transference through an industrial case study involving two open source systems.

Abstract Intelligent manufacturing plays a significant role in Industry 4.0. Dynamic shop scheduling is a key problem and hot research topic in the intelligent manufacturing systems, which is NP-hard. However, traditional shop scheduling mode, dynamic event prediction approach, scheduling model and scheduling algorithm, cannot cope with increasingly complicated problems under kinds of scales production disruptions in the real-world production. To deal with these problems, this paper proposes a new joint data-model driven dynamic scheduling architecture for intelligent workshop. The architecture includes four new and key characteristics in the aspects of scheduling mode, dynamic event prediction, scheduling model and algorithm. More specifically, the new scheduling mode introduces data analytics methods to quickly and accurately deal with the dynamic events encountered in the production process. The new prediction model improves the deep learning method, and further applies it predict the dynamic events accurately to provide reliable input to the dynamic scheduling. The new scheduling model proposes a new hybrid rescheduling and inverse scheduling model, which can cope with almost scales of abnormal production problems. The new scheduling algorithm hybridizes dynamic programming and intelligent optimization algorithm, which can overcome the disadvantages of the two methods based on the analysis of solution space. The dynamic programming is employed to provide high-quality initial solutions for the intelligent optimization algorithm by reducing the computation time greatly. To sum up, the presented architecture is a new attempt to understand the problem domain knowledge and broaden the solving idea, which can also provide new theories and technologies to manufacturing system optimization and promote the applications of the theoretical results.
