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.
