Semi-automatic Creation of Adapters for Legacy Application Migration to Integration Platform Using Knowledge

This paper presents a solution for semi-automatic creation of adapters – missing components between integration platforms or application migration frameworks and legacy applications – useful for collaborative environments. It introduces basic problems related to the integration process, presents a common elements of an integration platform and emphasizes a crucial role of creation of the adapter. The proposed solution is based on expert system approach; it speeds-up the whole process of development of an adapter, making the migration cost-effective, performance tuned and error prone.
