ARTIST Tools

Added-Value

Motivation (I): Why do companies migrate?

• Maintenance• Ad-hoc customizations (custom code) and roll-ups• Technologies obsolete and not largely supported• Scarce skilled people

To reduce operational costs

• The application is totally aligned with the business core

To reduce the risk and cost of starting from scratch

• New market generation• Improved customer retention• Better application performance• Increasing revenue growth

To create future value through

Motivation (II): Why is ARTIST necessary?

Existing Methodologies

Not Technology Agnostic

Brute-Force Approach

Not (Automatically) Tailorable

Not Cloud – Compliant

No Business or Organizational Aspects

Existing Tools

Not Integrated in an IDE

Not (mostly) Open Source

Not Based on Standards

Mission

ARTIST aims at facilitating the transformation and modernization of non-cloud software assets and

businesses to the cloud.

Added Value of ARTIST

Business

• It includes a feasibility analysis before any investment is actually made

• It includes business model issues that are strongly linked to the technical decisions that are made

• It takes into account the impact of the business model shift in the organization processes

Technology

• It is focused on Cloud-compliant architectural issues at both application and infrastructure levels

• It fosters reusability and automation • It globally prepares the software for its evolution

Expected ImpactSupport companies (software providers) in the hard and costly challenge of modernizing their applications

Foster the uptake of cloud technologies and business models (especially by SMEs) by providing a business and technical end-to-end solution for migration

Reduce the migration costs in relation to manual migration

Mitigate the risk of migration decision previous to migration itself

Allow an easier evolution of software with a balance of performance and cost

OutcomesA set of tools to analyse and classify non-cloud SW and business and to evaluate feasibility, cost, implications and benefits of migration

Methodology (tool-supported) to guide companies in the entire migration process (technical, business, process)

Model-based approach and tools for source/target applications and infrastructures / platforms

A Cloud Modelling language based upon CloudML (CloudML@ARTIST)

Reusable set of artefacts (meta models and transformations) provided through an enhanced repository

A validation framework for migrated applications

A certification model for guaranteeing the compliance of migrated application wrt cloud

Support evolution

Use cases (I) Tsunamis early detection system ARTIST will allow the migration of the

operators desktop (SWT/Jface) to a webtop (GWT/GXT)

User interface and data schema will be migrated

eGov application for the integration of processes and data from different public administrations

ARTIST will allow the easy deployment of a PaaS in a cloud

Use cases (II) Media application for News Agencies ARTIST will allow to create a “light” NewsAsset

version with the basic functionalities hosted in a cloud environment configured to address the needs of existing

customers

Social networking solutions for the enterprise ARTIST will allow to extend a non-cloud software

app to integrate it with SaaS apps No migration of non-cloud software code, but

generation of facades to connect non-cloud software code with services in the cloud (Ubison)
