Conference/Workshop Paper

Venue:

Fourth Conference on Software Engineering Research and Practice in Sweden

Abstract

This paper analyzes three fields of practice and research from a software integration perspective: component-based software, standard interfaces and open systems, and Enterprise Application Integration (EAI). The circumstances under which each is applicable are presented, as well as the expected benefits and drawbacks seen from the integrator’s perspective. The paper concludes with describing an integration context encountered in practice that challenges the established approaches, and outlines future research from there.
