“…, n) to extract a modelbased specification from them. This step reuses the reengineering methods and tools previously developed in the MIGRARIA project [2], [3] to obtain this conceptual representation of the services offered by the legacy Web sites. The result is a set of technology-specific models that are then processed to obtain an integrated technologyindependent model that conforms to a metamodel denominated MIGRARIA_MVC [2].…”

However, most of these applications lack a flexible architecture that allows their quick adaptation to these changes mainly because they are not usually aligned with the company business processes [2], [3].

“…BPMN notation therefore creates a standardized bridge for the gap between the business process design and process implementation. In this sense, several tools allow executing BPMN such as Bonita Soft, 1 Apache Activiti,2 Camunda, 3 etc. In order to do this, BPMN models should be defined at a high operational level [6], that is, defined with a high level of detail.…”

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.

“… A systematic WA-to-RIA model driven modernization has been suggested by authors in the reference [16], it aims at removing navigational models from Strutsbased WAs, using a set of several model driven artifacts to define a specific and reusable process.  The process that has been provided in [17] consists of creating an RIA client from the existing WA (WA) model, and also the navigating layer and service-oriented connection layer corresponding with the company logic at server side.…”

<p>Since web technologies are constantly evolving, the adaptation of legacy web applications to new paradigms such as rich internet applications (RIAs) is become a necessity. In such tendencies, we notice that several web leaders has already migrated their web applications to RIAs. However, it faces many challenges due to the variety of frameworks. Nevertheless, and in order to facilitate the process of migration, it would be ideal to use tools that could help automatically generate or ease the generation of UML (Unified Modeling Language) models from legacy web application. In this context, novel technical frameworks used for information integration and migration processes such as Architecture-Driven Modernization Task Force (ADMTF) were fashioned to describe specifications and promote industry accord on the modernization of existing applications. In this paper, we propose a process for migrating application from Struts to UML model using ADM standards and MoDisco. We then present a case study as an example illustrating the different steps of the proposed process. We then validated the proposition within Eclipse Modelling Framework since a number of its tools and run-time environments are indeed aligned with ADM standards.</p>
