Abstract

The notion of enterprise integration revolves around the central idea of enterprise modelling. Enterprises can be ’integrated’ at the level of basic services, at the level of pplications or at the level of models. Market forces drive to the second of these, because a robust market exists for applications (and related tools); application integration frameworks are therefore well supported by the marketplace. At the time of writing, two major camps of application frameworks are evolving:

  • one devised by Microsoft, and

  • one by everyone else, based on Java and UNIX.
