“…Many authors, such as Scheibler and Leymann [41], advocate a pattern-based or model-driven approach for enterprise integration and many solutions have been proposed in this direction. Frantz et al [16] introduce the DSL Guaraná that uses EIP to model enterprise application integration solutions and can be translated to Java code.…”

Enterprise Integration Patterns allow us to design a middleware system conceptually before actually implementing it. So far, the in-depth analysis of such a design was not feasible, as these patterns are only described informally. We introduce a translation of each of these patterns into a Coloured Petri Net, which allows to investigate and improve middleware system designs in early stages of development in a number of use cases, including validation and performance analysis using simulation, automatic completion of control-flow in middleware designs, verifying a design for errors and functional properties, and obtaining an implementation in automatic way.

“…These patterns are then annotated with multi-tenancy patterns (depending on user requirements). Upon deployment the patterns are then transformed into executable BPEL and Web service code [15], [16]. The algorithm as described in VI-A is then applied and corresponding routers and appenders are inserted (depending on the multi-tenancy patterns of the individual patterns).…”

Software as a service (SaaS) providers exploit economies of scale by offering the same instance of an application to multiple customers typically in a single-instance multitenant architecture model. Therefore the applications must be scalable, multi-tenant aware and configurable. In this paper we show how the services in a service-oriented SaaS application can be deployed using different multi-tenancy patterns. We describe how the chosen patterns influence the customizability, multi-tenant awareness and scalability of the application. Using the patterns we describe how individual services in a multitenant aware application can be not multi-tenant aware while maintaining the overall multi-tenant awareness of the application. We show based on a real-world example how the patterns can be used in practice and show how existing applications already use these patterns.

“…PaF and workflows are inherently different concepts. But, as shown in [6] and [7], PaF can be mapped onto workflows. In this paper, we show that an implementation of the PaF architecture can not only be mapped but advantageously be delivered by a workflow management system.…”

In the context of Enterprise Application Integration individual tasks have typically been implemented using specialized EAI-vendor technology based on messaging, and quite often customer-specific implementations. Those implementations prominently exploit the Pipes-and-Filters architecture. This implementation approach is in conflict with the flow technology that is a cornerstone of the Service-Oriented Architecture for solving integration problems. In this paper, we present how this conflict can be resolved. Therefore, we first analyse the differences between Pipes-and-Filters architectures and workflow approaches in general, and present the advantages and drawbacks of each solution. Afterwards, we describe how integration solutions modelled based on the PaF architecture can be implemented using flow technology by transforming the appropriate PaF elements into appropriate workflow constructs. We then present the results of appropriate tests that show that the performance of the corresponding workflows is superior to the mapping of PaF patterns to message flows. We finish off with outlining the additional tangible and nontangible benefits that the Workflow Management System provides, such as monitoring. In a nut shell, we illustrate that the PaF architecture does not require an own implementation, but can be converted into appropriate models to workflows for execution by an appropriate system.
