Reverse Engineering Interaction Plans for Legacy Interface Migration
نویسندگان
چکیده
Legacy interface migration is becoming an increasingly important IT activity; many organizations are interested in cost effective and low risk processes for making their legacy systems accessible to new, webbased platforms. Most migration techniques proposed to date require a lot of human expertise. In this paper we discuss Mathaino, an intelligent, multi platform, semi-automated, and low risk solution for migrating legacy user interfaces to the web by wrapping them with web-accessible front-ends.

Migration of Legacy Systems to the Web is one of the main concerns of enterprises looking for more flexible distributed application environments. This migration process comprises the construction of a Web Interface that needs to interact in an arbitrary complex manner with pre-existent business logic modules, which must pay off prior investments. These Web Engineering concerns have been already...
