Abstract

As SOA adoption trend accelerates withinindustry, enterprises, especially those with large application portfolio, need to carefully plan for their SOA migration. We propose an abstract, model-driven and vendor-independent SOA migration planning approach. Represented as a sequence of model transformation steps, our approach seeks to transform existing use cases into standard-based SOA service model and map this to a legacy model to generate a migration path model which can be used to identify alternative migration options an enterprise could consider. This approach can help enterprise application management team plan for an effective SOA migration effort and maximize SOA adoption benefits
