Abstract :
Along with the increasing popularity of cloud computing, the requirement to efficiently migrate enterprises´ legacy applications to cloud has become extremely intensive. Existing solutions have many limitations in use, such as the source code of legacy application is always required, or the migrated application cannot be customized or mashed up. What´s more, it always overbalances the budget to perform these solutions. In this paper, we proposed a brand new Application Migration Solution (AMS) to efficiently migrate legacy applications to web applications by GUI recognition and reconstruction technology. The core technologies are presented and evaluation results are given for technology validation. Based on AMS, enterprises can deploy their legacy applications to cloud easily. This solution also fulfills advanced enterprise requirements, including application customization requirement or mashup with other applications to compose more integrated and powerful applications.
