“…MigraSOA [13] allows to describe the services using well-known service description languages (WSDL) while the business processes are defined using BPMN. The alignment process includes a semantic algorithm which will be presented in next section.…”

“…On the one hand, the business processes are defined using Business Process Model Notation (BPMN) models and, on the other hand, a conceptual representation of the underlying services defined using WSDL could be obtained [13]. Thus, model-driven techniques could be applied with the aim to manage both kinds of models.…”

“…The Simple-SoaML model is used to define a model-to-text transformation to automatically generate the code for the underlying service layer. In other words, this generation provides an interoperable layer to interact with the core legacy website functionality [13], [66]. The service layer generated is based on SOAP web services [18], [67], [68] where each web service includes its own WSDL (Web Service Description Language).…”

“…Therefore, the available information is wide and difficult to compare, and hence the matching process is error prone, which makes more obvious the need of an automatic alignment processes to ease the management of both internal service repositories and external services. In this context, the MigraSOA project, based on Model-Driven techniques, was proposed to modernize and adapt the software architectures of LWAs to SOAs [13]- [15]. Specifically, an automatic semantic process was used to automate the migration of software.…”

Many companies have implemented their business processes in Web applications which must be frequently adapted so as to stay aligned with new business process requirements. Service-oriented architectures (SOAs) constitute an appropriate option to manage the continuous changes in those processes by facilitating their alignment with the changing underlying system services. In this context, firms are trying to migrate their Web applications to new software architectures such as SOAs. However, this migration is usually carried out ad-hoc by means of non-reusable and error-prone manual processes. Similarly, the alignment between the business processes and the underlying services identified is usually done by hand. This work presents a model-driven semiautomatic approach to modernize legacy Web applications to SOAs. The approach is focused on an automatic semantic process aimed at discovering the services that can be used to implement the business processes (defined by the companies), then aligning these processes with the underlying services. A semantic algorithm is provided to aid the migration architect during the alignment process. The case study carried out shows that the alignment process results obtained by the semantic algorithm presented in this paper are similar to those obtained by the experts manually. Finally, SOA orchestration artifacts are generated from the semantic algorithm results.

When Service Orientation was introduced as the solution for retaining and rehabilitating legacy assets, both researchers and practitioners proposed techniques, methods, and guidelines for SOA migration. With so much hype surrounding SOA, it is not surprising that the concept was interpreted in many different ways, and consequently, different approaches to SOA migration were proposed. Accordingly, soon there was an abundance of methods that were hard to compare and eventually adopt. Against this backdrop, this paper reports on a systematic literature review that was conducted to extract the categories of SOA migration proposed by the research community. We provide the state‐of‐the‐art in SOA migration approaches, and discuss categories of activities carried out and knowledge elements used or produced in those approaches. From such categorization, we derive a reference model, called SOA migration frame of reference, that can be used for selecting and defining SOA migration approaches. As a co‐product of the analysis, we shed light on how SOA migration is perceived in the field, which further points to promising future research directions. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
