Abstract

The evolution of simulations and models during their operational use is inevitable. Constant change in technology and user requirements is the core reason. It comes up with aging and erosion of the software systems. Thus, in time, assets are started to be categorized as legacy. Software modernization has been introduced as the methodology for comprehending and transforming legacy software systems. Basically inspired by MDE, model-driven reverse engineering (MDRE) is proposed as the major approach to tackle knowledge extraction from available assets. Then canonical model transformations and forward engineering MDE practices are promoted for transforming legacy software. The Object Management Group (OMG) promoted architecture-driven modernization (ADM) as the process of understanding and transformation of existing software assets with model-driven principles that have been supported by various metamodels, tools, and languages. This chapter introduces simulation evolution and modernization. It presents and adopts the software modernization approaches, particularly ADM, for simulation modernization. After providing a background on tools, methods, and approaches that have been proposed for software modernization, a recent research effort is revealed that adopts and extends ADM, particularly the knowledge discovery metamodel (KDM), for simulation modernization.
