Binary code analysis for application integration

Application software for business usage is everywhere; almost any company in the world depends on the application software it uses, it has become a major asset for these companies. Due to multiple (sometimes untangible) factors, application functionality is rebuild for new applications, in stead of reused. This practice leads to the waste of time and money, both in the development of the functionality as well as the debugging efforts that are required. In our view, existing application functionality should be used as long as it is possible. We present a method for analyzing applications, finding reusable functionality in the applica-tions and make the found functionality available as a Web Service. This thesis presents an overview of technologies for remodelling applications as well as an overview of technologies to control application execution externally. A comparative anal-ysis in each of these directions is presented, together with a design for an application that integrates the technologies for Web Services mining and implementation
