From COBOL to SQL through program transformation and XML (2003)
Presentation / Conference
Meziane, F., & Aliwa, J. (2003, July). From COBOL to SQL through program transformation and XML. Presented at Third International Conference on Information Technology in Asia (CITA 2003), Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia

The cost of maintaining legacy software systems has spiralled and their maintenance became a burden for many organisations. In this paper we present the first prototype of the LOBS-COQ system that attempts to transform COBOL legacy systems into re...
