Description

With the promise of accelerating software development, low-code platforms (LCPs) are becoming popular across various industries. Nevertheless, there are still barriers hindering their adoption. Among them, vendor lock-in is a major concern, especially considering the lack of interoperability between these platforms. Typically, after modeling an application in one LCP, migrating to another requires starting from scratch remodeling everything (the data model, the graphical user interface, workflows, etc.) in the new platform. To overcome this situation, this work proposes an approach to improve the interoperability of LCPs by (semi)automatically migrating models specified in one platform to another one. Migration is performed via a combination of rule-based and LLM-based strategies. The pipelines are built on the BESSER framework, serving as a pivot between the LCPs.
