Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for migrating an application on a source computer system, which may be a legacy application running on an out-of-date operating system, to a container host running on a target computer system. The system includes software products which analyse the source system to identify application components, and which provision containers corresponding to the identified components.

Abstract: A method for automatically upgrading an operating system on a computer is provided. The method includes collecting system state information from the computer, and querying a knowledge base to identify state modification actions. Querying the knowledge base may include use of a classification algorithm, for example the k-nearest-neighbours algorithm, to identify non-exact matches in the knowledge base. The system is modified according to identified state modification actions and an upgrade is attempted. In the event that the upgrade fails, information from collected log files is used to update the knowledge base to propose further state modification actions, and the upgrade is attempted again.

Abstract: A method for analyzing a computer program ecosystem includes performing a static analysis, including identifying static dependencies among elements of the ecosystem based on values of parameters in one or more parameter sets associated with the ecosystem, the elements of the ecosystem including the computer programs of the ecosystem and data resources associated with the computer programs. The method includes performing a runtime analysis, including identifying elements of the ecosystem that were utilized during execution of the ecosystem to process data records. The method includes performing a schedule analysis, including identifying a computer program of the ecosystem that has a schedule dependency from another computer program of the ecosystem. The method includes identifying a subset of the elements of the ecosystem as an ecosystem unit based on the results of the static, runtime, and schedule analyses. The method includes migrating the ecosystem unit, testing the ecosystem unit, or both.
