Architectures for enterprise integration and interoperability: Past, present and future

A Resource Virtualization Mechanism for Cloud Manufacturing Systems

“…From enterprise interoperability point of view, Chen et al [13] proposed an enterprise interoperability framework with two basic dimensions, as shown in Fig.7. Enterprise dimension represents enterprise levels(business, process, service, data), which has the similar meaning of collaborative levels in cloud manufacturing.…”

Implications of Integration and Interoperability for Enterprise Cloud-Based Applications

“…Data Integration: Data integration deals with moving or federating data between different type of data sources [20] [21]. The main drawback of data integration between cloud and on-premise environment is that the developer will have to understand and maintain the underlying schemas regularly to address any changes [16].…”

Applying Enterprise Architecture to Business Networks

“…Each participating organization is specialised in its contribution to the network output and to the coordination activities for the implementation of some aims [Todeva, 2006]. In other words, business networks can support the operation of organizations by extending the original idea beyond organizational boundaries through the combination of competencies, resources, shared responsibilities, risks, and benefits, in order to overcome the needs of each business opportunity and market turbulence [Barroero et al, 2010, Chen et al, 2008.…”

“…[ Chen et al, 2008] Architectural principles define the base line for an organization EA practice. Most of these architecture frameworks are quite precise in establishing which elements should be part of an enterprise architecture to keep the enterprise architecture coherent during its life cycle: the adoption of a certain framework is not sufficient.…”

“…Enterprise modelling frameworks provide a better understanding of the enterprise's complexity [Chen et al, 2008]. These have served to capture various aspects and artifacts, such as functional capabilities; internal and external business services; data and business processes which interact with different roles and resources of the organization [Cuenca et al, 2011].…”
