A Method for Integrating Legacy Systems within Distributed Object Architecture

: The ability of a new technology to reuse legacy systems is very important for its economic success. This paper presents a method for integrating legacy systems within distributed object architectures. The necessary steps required for integration are defined. It is explained how to define object interfaces. A detailed overview of how to implement the wrappers is given. The paper also answers the question which distributed object model is most suitable for legacy integration. Therefore a decision model is defined and the evaluation results are presented.
