Wrapping MPI-based legacy codes as Java/CORBA components

Engineering high-performance legacy codes as CORBA components for problem-solving environments

This paper describes techniques used to leverage high performance legacy codes as CORBA components to a distributed problem solving environment. It first briefly introduces the software architecture adopted by the environment. Then it presents a CORBA oriented wrapper generator (COWG) which can be used to automatically wrap high performance legacy codes as CORBA components. Two legacy codes hav...

The Impact of Distributed Object Technology on Reengineering - Panel Session Introduction

Reengineering is commonly accepted to mean any activity that improves one’s understanding of a softwareintensive system, or that improves the system itself. Traditionally, the approach taken to reengineering has been to understand the system’s structure and to extract its essential functionality so that it can be transformed into a more evolvable system over the long term. But distributed objec...

A Java/CORBA-based visual program composition environment for PSEs

A Problem Solving Environment (PSE) is a complete, integrated computing environment for composing, compiling and running applications in a speciic problem area or domain. Parts of the PSE are domain independent , such as the Visual Programming Composition Environment (VPCE), which may be used for constructing application in a number of diierent domains, however, other parts are domain speciic, ...

Enabling Technologies for Web-Based Legacy System Integration

With the exponential growth of the Internet and the multi-tier distributed system architectures, there is an urgent demand to develop Web-based and component-based applications to reduce the time to the market and to leverage existing software. This position paper presents an approach to integrate existing legacy applications to a Web-enabled Network-Centric environment. The integration process...
