Service-Oriented Software Reengineering: SoSR

Overview The purpose of the project discussed in this paper is to propose a Service-oriented Software Reengineering (SoSR) methodology that can be applied to a legacy software system so that it can be reengineered into a service-oriented software system(s) by using Service-Oriented Computing (SOC). SOC is a software development paradigm in which software systems can be recursively constructed as a set of services that employs standardized service interfaces and interaction protocols. The SoSR methodology is a set of best practices that is architecture-centric, service-oriented, role-specific, and model-driven. A service-oriented architecture is conceptualized by using three-service-participants model.

Link up all parts of your business

When legacy applications remain, they will need to be integrated with the new systems. Essentially this is adding service-oriented architecture (SOA) functionality to your existing applications. Enterprise portals were a popular incarnation of this...

Is SOA testing tough enough?

Improved efficiency, new services, access to legacy apps - the advantages of service-oriented architecture seem endless. It's a business methodology more than a technological approach and lets organisations get more from existing systems.
