Extending the Life of Legacy Software Systems Through the Addition of Internet Components
David Fronckowiak · 2007
This paper contains the research plan that will analyze the context and type of internet inventions that have been used to extend the lifetimes of legacy systems. Certain types of legacy systems, or certain types of internet inventions, may be more amenable to extending the life of a legacy system. It is anticipated that this analysis will result in a framework or model that tabulates such types of legacy systems with their expected years of legacy system extension. The Technology Life Cycle model will be used to analyze the different internet components that are used in the extension of the legacy systems.
