The research is conducted in the area of software methodologies with the emphasis on the integration of legacy systems with the client/server environment. The investigation starts with identifying the characteristics of legacy systems in order to determine the features and technical characteristics required of an integration methodology. A number of existing methodologies are evaluated with respect to their features and technical characteristics in order to derive a synthesis for a generic methodology. This evaluation yields the meta primitives of a generic
methodology. The revised spiral model (Boehm,1986; DuPlessis & Vander Wah,1992) is customised to
arrive at a software process model which provides a framework for the integration of legacy systems
with the client/server environment. The integration methodology is based on this process model. / Computing / M. Sc. (Information Systems)
