Strategies and methods for cloud migration

Legacy system migration to the cloud brings both great challenges and benefits, so there exist various academic research and industrial applications on legacy system migration to the cloud. By analyzing the research achievements and application status,we divide the existing migration methods into three strategies according to the cloud service models integrally. Different processes need to be considered for different migration strategies, and different tasks will be involved accordingly. The similarities and differences between the migration strategies are discussed, and the challenges and future work about legacy system migration to the cloud are proposed. The aim of this paper is to provide an overall presentation for legacy system migration to the cloud and identify important challenges and future research directions.     

基于MVC的分层增量式再工程

随着技术的快速发展和需求的不断变更,遗留系统越来越不能满足使用和维护的要求,需要进行再工程.因此,本文描述了一种基于MVC(Model-View-Controller,模型-视图-控制器)的分层增量式再工程,将遗留系统划分为运行环境、核心系统、主要子系统和次要子系统四层,首先将核心系统基于MVC模式进行逆向分析、重构并部署,然后将其它子系统并行再造,逐个部署到新的核心系统上.该方法在一个遗留系统再造过程中的成功应用证明了它的实用性和有效性.     

Studies in software reengineering: Capturing navy legacy software

This report is a summary of the continuing efforts of several teams at the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Divsion (NSWCDD) to evaluate technologies and to define and refine a process to reengineer Navy legacy CMS-2 code into Ada. This effort involves tool and technology evaluation, methodology definition, and cost model definition.For systems developed in CMS-2, a Navy specific high order language, consideration must be given as to the most cost effective method of converting to the current high order language of choice, i.e., Ada, without losing the legacy lessons learned. NSWCDD engineers evaluated three translation tools, evaluated reverse engineering technologies, and defined both a process and a methodology to incrementally transition Navy CMS-2 code into Ada. The source code used for the evaluation is from the AEGIS Weapon System and the distributed, open environment is the High Performance Distributed Computing Program co-sponsored by the Advanced Research Projects Agency and the AEGIS Program Manager.Many of the issues identified throughout these studies are unresolved, but software engineers are continuing to evaluated the impacts of transitioning to commercial environments and Ada. Some of the issues that are being studied follow: testing of distributed systems; system level integration; lack of time-stamped instrumentation: and reliability in commercial-off-the shelf environments. The Navy is in the early stages of identifying impacts of transitioning to Ada, commercial environments, and distributed architectures. NSWCDD is gathering data to confirm that capturing legacy systems, whether it is code or design ideas, is essential to minimizing the cost and the risk of these transitions. It is also evident that technology is neither mature nor ideal yet to satisfy the identified needs for capturing the legacy of a proven system. Translation, while useful to a point, is not suitable alone as a solution to the transition equation.     

高校信息化平台遗留系统的重用设计与实现

目前,随着国家推进国民教育资源的优化组合,许多高校进行扩建和合并,增设了院系,新建或接收了新校区,信息系统规模不断扩大。新增院系和校区的信息系统与主校区的信息系统无法有效融合,大量需要共享的关键信息被封闭在相对独立的系统里。如何对现有遗留系统进行统一规划,封装成可重用的Web服务组件,从而集成各个孤立的信息系统,消除信息孤岛现象,实现遗留系统的重用设计,是高校信息一体化平台建设中的亟待解决的问题。     

基于SCA的遗留系统移植研究与实现

针对传统遗留系统在面向服务计算移植过程中存在的重复性和多样性问题,提出一种基于服务组件框架（SCA）的遗留系统移植方案,将遗留系统移植到SCA组件系统中,通过python扩展生成器生成可以被该脚本调用的模块,在硬件平台上进行模拟,实验结果表明,该方案是可行的,能够避免因面向服务实现形式的差异而造成的重复移植。     

遗留系统并行架构的设计与实现

面向服务的体系架构(SOA)为遗留系统的再工程提供了解决方案,使得遗留系统可以支持分布式应用环境,但是由于技术的陈旧和架构的局限性,无法支持多线程、并行处理以及内存泄露等问题依旧在部分遗留系统中存在,极大地限制了它们的应用。为了解决这几个问题,通过深入分析研究Windows 通信基础(WCF)的通信机制,提出了一种并行架构,对WCF的基本架构进行了改造,即在默认的体系架构中添加一层服务控制器,用来在客户端和服务端之间传递消息和选择服务,很好地解决了这几个问题,并在某大型金融软件中得到了应用。     

A case study on business process recovery using an e‐government system

Business processes have become one of the key assets of organization, since these processes allow them to discover and control what occurs in their environments, with information systems automating most of an organization's processes. Unfortunately, and as a result of uncontrolled maintenance, information systems age over time until it is necessary to replace them with new and modernized systems. However, while systems are aging, meaningful business knowledge that is not present in any of the organization's other assets gradually becomes embedded in them. The preservation of this knowledge through the recovery of the underlying business processes is, therefore, a critical problem. This paper provides, as a solution to the aforementioned problem, a model‐driven procedure for recovering business processes from legacy information systems. The procedure proposes a set of models at different abstraction levels, along with the model transformations between them. The paper also provides a supporting tool, which facilitates its adoption. Moreover, a real‐life case study concerning an e‐government system applies the proposed recovery procedure to validate its effectiveness and efficiency. The case study was carried out by following a formal protocol to improve its rigor and replicability. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

An interactive method for extracting grammar from programs

The grammar of the language in which some given code is written is essential for developing automated tools for maintenance, reengineering, and program analysis. Frequently grammar is available for a language but not for its variants that are implemented by various vendors and in which the given code may be written. In this work we address the problem of obtaining the grammar from source code, which can then be used for generating tools for the programs. We propose an incremental method for obtaining grammar for a particular language variant, from a set of programs written in the language variant and an approximate grammar (presumably of the standard language) with some user interaction. We also present the design of a tool for implementing this approach and our experience in working with grammars of C, C++ and COBOL. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
