Abstract

Background: The increasing power of mobile devices means that companies and institutions can now look to exposing their systems to these devices. As part of a research project, we need to re-engineer a system to expose it ¿ as a service¿ in order to enable access by multiple devices. Aims: The aim of this study was to identify approaches to the re-engineering of systems to provide multi-channel service-oriented access. Method: A systematic literature review was performed to gather relevant information. Results: We found fifteen methods of service-oriented re-engineering, two methods of re-engineering for multi-channel access plus a set of problems that had been identified during the re-engineering activities. Conclusions: The two methods found did not meet our needs. The verbosity of web-services and the limitations of mobile access is an issue that needs further investigation.
