Funded Activity Summary

Legacy2Service: A Novel, Model-Driven Technique for Re-engineering On-Demand, Software Services out of Legacy Applications. The proliferation of software-as-a-service applications from "dotcom" players is raising expectations that other industries will make their critical desktop and mainframe software available as web-enabled software-as-a-service and mobile "apps". However, manually re-engineering legacy software is notoriously costly and frequently unsuccessful. This project will make it easier and quicker to turn stand-alone programs into online services by automating much of the process. Specifically, it will develop tools: for analysing program code to identify points to implement service interfaces; for displaying existing and new code dependencies visually; and, to help design and implement new software layers that link legacy services to the web.
