ABSTRACT:
A method of restructuring a source computer program to a target computer program. A defined source computer program has source code. A set of tasks is defined for the source computer program to be performed by the source computer program. For each task, a corresponding set of input data sets is defined. For each input data set, a corresponding set of programs is determined such that each program in the set of programs includes declarations and executable statements, from the source code of the source computer program, required to execute the task in each input data set. Each set of programs is processed to generate a component that executes the respective task, resulting in generation of a set of components. A target computer program is generated from the set of components.
