Abstract
This paper describes a case study to determine whether
computer-aided prototyping techniques provide a costeffective
means for re-engineering legacy software. The
case study consists of developing a high-level modular
architecture for the existing US Army Janus combat
simulation system, and validating the architecture via an
executable prototype using the Computer Aided
Prototyping System (CAPS), a research tool developed at
the Naval Postgraduate School. The case study showed
that prototyping can be a valuable aid in re-engineering
of legacy systems, particularly in cases where radical
changes to system conceptualization and software
structure are needed. The CAPS system enabled us to do
this with a minimal amount of coding effort.
