Automatic wrapper generator for grid computing

Legacy codes are those libraries, command line applications or other types of systems that were developed in technologies older than currently used in modern computing environments. Modern software engineering concepts, like software as a service, allow the extension of the legacy code lifetime and the reduction of software maintenance costs. We present a template-based framework that relieves the native language programmer from most of this burden. In particular, the proposed technique provides automatic selection of the right functions to access Java objects based on their types. We also describes a process for the automatic conversion of numerical and scientific routines written in the C programming language into computational services that can be used within a distributed service-oriented architecture such as that being adopted for Grid computing.
