Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The advancement of internet technology enables legacy software systems to be reused across geographical boundaries. Web Services (WS) have emerged as a new component-based software development paradigm in a network-centric environment based on the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), the open standard description language XML and transportation protocol HTML. Therefore, legacy software systems can incorporate WS technology in order to be reused and integrated in a distributed environment across heterogeneous platforms. In this paper, we present a comprehensive, systematic, automatable approach toward reengineering legacy software systems to WS applications, rather than rewriting the whole legacy software system from scratch in an ad-hoc manner.
