Abstract

Techniques to automatically port applications to a mobile infrastructure using code separation with semantic guarantees are disclosed. Porting enterprise applications from to a target architecture another is effected via separating code into constituent layers of the target architecture. To preserve semantics, code transformations are enforced via an abstract syntax tree structure. The generated code may have various code wrappers and/or infrastructure elements so the ported application will operate in the target architecture. Various techniques are disclosed regarding specific code wrappers and/or infrastructure elements to address operating issues including, but not limited to, architectural issues, network latency, framework changes, regulatory issues.
