The evolution of software technology leads to continuous migration of software components and applications. Particularly, most software applications in applied science and engineering are for desktop computers and there is a need to migrate them to mobile technologies. This kind of migration faces many challenges due to the proliferation of different mobile platforms. New programming languages are thus emerging to integrate the native behaviors of the different platforms targeted in development projects. In this direction, the HAXE language allows writing mobile applications that target all major mobile platforms. Novel technical frameworks for information integration and tool interoperability such as the Model Driven Development (MDD) can help to manage a huge diversity of mobile technologies. A specific realization of MDD is the Model Driven Architecture (MDA)proposed by the Object Management Group (OMG). In this work, we propose a migration process from C/C++ software to different mobile platforms that integrates MDA standards with HAXE. C/C++ is one of the most commonly used programming language in science and engineering domains and numerous legacy software components written in C++ require to be modernized. On the one hand, the proposed process follows model-driven principles: all artifacts involved in the process can be viewed as models that conform a particular metamodel, the process itself can be viewed as a sequence of model-to-model transformations and all the extracted information is represented in a standard way through metamodels. On the other hand, HAXE easily adapts the native behaviors of the different platforms targeted in development projects enabling extremely efficient cross-platform development, ultimately saving time and resources. The proposal was validated in Eclipse Modeling Framework considering that some of its tools and run-time environments are aligned with MDA standards. The paper includes a simple case study, the migration of a C++ application, "the Set of Mandelbrot", that allow us to exemplify the different steps of the process.

“…There is a large body of work in the literature dealing with the productive usage of models (MDA-compliant or not) in order to develop software for mobile platforms [6], [1], [2], [12], [11], [8], [14]. Most of them are based on UML 2 models, notably Class Diagrams and Activity Diagrams.…”

Abstract-This paper demonstrates through an example how a modeling effort can substitute to a programming effort so that a main part of the code of apps for smart devices can be replaced by a model. We focus on the behavioral model of an application and then instrument its direct execution on an Android device thanks to the PauWare API. The proposed installation of PauWare on Android OS sets up the foundation for a whole range of mobApps, provided they are modeled with the statechart formalism.

-Software technology is constantly evolving and therefore the development of applications requires adapting software components and applications in order to be aligned to new paradigms such as Pervasive Computing, Cloud Computing and Internet of Things. In particular, many desktop software components need to be migrated to mobile technologies. This migration faces many challenges due to the proliferation of different mobile platforms. Developers usually make applications tailored for each type of device expending time and effort. As a result, new programming languages are emerging to integrate the native behaviors of the different platforms targeted in development projects. In this direction, the Haxe language allows writing mobile applications that target all major mobile platforms. Novel technical frameworks for information integration and tool interoperability such as Architecture-Driven Modernization (ADM) proposed by the Object Management Group (OMG)can help to manage a huge diversity of mobile technologies. The Architecture-Driven Modernization Task Force (ADMTF) was formed to create specifications and promote industry consensus on the modernization of existing applications. In this work, we propose a migration process from C/C++ software to different mobile platforms that integrates ADM standards with Haxe. We exemplify the different steps of the process with a simple case study, the migration of "the Set of Mandelbrot" C++ application. The proposal was validated in Eclipse Modeling Framework considering that some of its tools and run-time environments are aligned with ADM standards.
