Modernization approaches for legacy systems

In this research project a new approach shall be developed to support the stakeholders in making the decision on how to modernise their system. We want to investigate the modernisation “good practice” in both academic and industrial context. Based on this, we want to develop new approaches and identify the information needed to manage the decision process behind the modernization of any (legacy) system.
