  1. Restoration SoftwareTransforming Legacy Software to Web Services Principle Investigators Leo Mark - Georgia Tech, (leomark@cc.gatech.edu) Spencer Rugaber, Georgia Tech, (spencer@cc.gatech.edu) Wayne Summers, Columbus State, (summers_wayne@colstate.edu) Graduate Research Assistants John Gibby, Georgia Tech Harihar Karthik, Columbus State Robert Liu, Georgia Tech Sponsors AFLAC Georgia Research Alliance Columbus Information Processing Innovation Center

  2. Problem: Transforming legacy assets • Corporate assets “tied up in” legacy software systems • Complex, undocumented, monolithic • Not up-to-date wrt evolving technologies • Legacy technologyNew technology • CICS “green screens”  Web access • VSAM, IMS, DB2  XML • Cobol business logic  Java • Mainframe  Web services • Monolithic  Layered, modular

  3. Solution • Methodology for transforming legacy information systems • Guidelines consisting of • Separating the user interface aspects of software from the business logic • Extracting the enterprise data model • Specifying and encapsulating provided services • Creating, maintaining and evolving the enterprise integration architecture

  4. Case Study • Vertical slice of Cobol system for • Reconciliation of invoice records for customer groups • Program understanding; representation; reengineering into J2EE prototype • Output • Methodology + Process data + Prototype

  5. Distributed Multi-tier Architecture [from java.sun.com/j2ee]

  6. Research Questions • How to understand undocumented code? • How to transform existing, running systems to use modern technology? • How to loosen exclusive control over data to allow 24/7 use? • How to re-architect batch, mainframe systems to interactive GUIs? • What automation can support these tasks? • How to transfer this method from a research team to actual developers?
