Model-Driven Migration of Scientific Legacy Systems to Service-Oriented Architectures

We propose a model-driven and generative approach to specify and generate web services for migrating scientific legacy systems to service-oriented platforms. From a model specification of the system migration, we use code generation to generate web services and automate the legacy integration. We use a case study from an existing oil spill analysis application developed in Fortran and C++ to show the feasibility of the approach.
