ECAT: Multi-Agent Framework for Automated Android-to-HarmonyOS Migration
A recent study published on arXiv (2608.09273) presents Entropy-based Code Adversarial Translation (ECAT), a multi-agent system aimed at automating the transition of complete Android repositories to HarmonyOS. This framework tackles the issue that LLM-based agents frequently struggle to create functional applications during the migration of entire repositories, particularly due to the complexities of long-horizon translation tasks. ECAT approaches repository migration through adversarial entropy minimization, utilizing a generator-discriminator model. The discriminator assesses migration quality with a comprehensive metric known as Code Entropy and generates text gradients that outline file-level directives and necessary skills. The generator progressively modifies the repository, only accepting alterations that decrease Code Entropy, ensuring the preservation of migration goals. This submission is significant for AI-driven software engineering and cross-platform migration.
