Integration Problems

With the emergence of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) component middleware technologies software system integrators are increasing faced with the task of integrating heterogeneous enterprise distributed systems built using different COTS technologies. Although there are well-documented patterns and techniques for system integration using various middleware technologies, system integration is still largely a tedious and error-prone manual process. This chapter provides three contributions to the study of functional integration of distributed enterprise systems. First, we describe the challenges associated with functionally integrating software for these types of systems. Second, we describe how the composition of domain-specific modeling languages (DSMLs) can simplify the functional integration of enterprise distributed systems. Third, we demonstrate how composing DSMLs can solve functional integration problems in an enterprise distributed system case study by reverse engineering an existing CCM system and exposing it as Web service(s) to Web clients who use these services.

Use of Business Models within Model Driven Architecture Model Driven Architecture is a framework dedicated for development of large and complex computer systems. It states and implements the principle of architectural separation of concerns. This means that a system can be modeled from three different but related to each other viewpoints. The viewpoint discussed in this paper is a Computation Independent one. MDA specification states that a model that shows a system from this viewpoint is a business model. Taking into account transformations foreseen by MDA, it should be useful for automation of software development processes. This paper discusses an essence of the Computation Independent Model (CIM) and the place of business models in the computation independent modeling. This paper considers four types of business models, namely, SBVR, BPMN, use cases and Topological Functioning Model (TFM). Business persons use SBVR to define business vocabularies and business rules of the existing and planned domains, BPMN to define business processes of both existing and planned domains, and use cases to define business requirements to the planned domain. The TFM is used to define functionality of both existing and planned domains. This paper discusses their capabilities to be used as complete CIMs with formally defined conformity between planned and existing domains.
