A SaaSify Tool for Converting Traditional Web-Based Applications to SaaS Application

Nowadays, SaaS is increasingly used by web-based applications for the benefits and profits it brings to both users and service providers. It is significative if service providers can automatically convert traditional applications into SaaS mode, a SaaSify tool is needed urgently. In this paper, we analyze and conclude the new challenges of automatically SaaSify web-based application, propose several key technologies for SaaSifying, and further propose SaaSify Flow Language (SFL) to model and implement SaaSify process, finally, we use a case study to show the effects of proposed tool, and the performance experiments prove that the proposed approach is efficient and effective.
