Adaptation of Legacy Software to Grid Services

Abstract

Abstract. Adaptation of legacy software to grid services environment is gradually gaining in significance both in academic and commercial settings but presently no comprehensive framework addressing this area is available and the scope of research work covering this field is still unsatisfactory. The main contribution of this paper is the proposal of a versatile architecture designed to facilitate the process of transition to grid services platform. We provide thorough analysis of the presented solution and confront it with fundamental grid requirements. In addition, the results of performance evaluation of a prototype implementation are demonstrated.

Experiences with Deploying Legacy Code Applications as Grid Services Using GEMLCA,

“…Different non-wrapping approaches are presented in [6] and [7] but these solutions only define the principles of legacy code transformation, and do not specify an environment or tool to do the automatic conversion.…”

LGF: A flexible framework for exposing legacy codes as services

“…This work follows our previous effort [1,2]. We present a new design of the LGF framework followed by its operation scenarios.…”
