“…They described how different SaaS application components can be combined horizontally or vertically. Scheibler, Mietzner, and Leymann [18] proposed a platform-independent approach to modeling, describing and implementing EAI patterns in a service-oriented architecture to integrate different applications into a SaaS environment. Liu et al [12] and Zhang, Zhang, and Liu [27] used WSCL to build SaaS services and describe SaaS models.…”

More and more enterprises recently intend to deploy data management systems in the cloud. Due to the professionalism of software development, it has still been difficult for non-programmers to develop this kind of systems, even a small one. However, the development of SaaS brings forth the more feasibility of coding-free software development than before. Based on the SaaS architecture, this paper presents a set of theory and method for coding-free construction of a data management system, on which our contributions involve in a practical application platform, a set of construction method and a set of interface on data exchange. By abstracting the common features of data management systems, we design a universal web platform to quickly generate and publish customized system instances. Moreover, we propose a kind of method to develop a data management system using a specific requirements table in spreadsheet. The corresponding platform maps the requirements table into a system instance through parsing the table model and implementing the objective system in the running stage. Finally, we implement the proposed framework and deploy it on web. The empirical result demonstrates the feasibility and availability of the coding-free method in developing web data management systems.

“…The scenario was now transformed into a PaF implementation and a workflow implementation using the approach of [7]. This approach takes integration patterns as foundation for modelling integrations solutions, configures an individual solutions via so called parameters, and transforms the solution via different algorithms into code for different runtime environments (cf.…”

“…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.

“…Along with the rapid development of information technologies, various applications have been developed in almost every aspect of enterprise business processes, such as supply chain management (SCM), customer relationship management (CRM), enterprise resource planning (ERP), and product lifecycle management (PLM), in order to enable organizations to improve their use of information systems in supporting their operational and financial goals [1][2][3]. A SCM application focuses on co-ordination and interenterprise supply chain upstream and downstream relationships [2].…”

Enterprises tend to depend on various legacy applications in supporting their business strategies and in achieving their goals. In order for an enterprise to be efficient and cost-effective, their legacy applications should be seamlessly integrated within and beyond the enterprise. Some research work in enterprise applications integrations (EAI) analyzed the problem, while others proposed solution models for the syntactic and semantic integration of business processes. In this paper, the EAI is considered as a design problem and is analyzed from design point of view. Environment based design (EBD) methodology is applied to handle the integration problem by analyzing and clarifying the design requirements to generate appropriate solutions. A framework is proposed for EAI problems based on the EBD approach. A case study is also provided to show how the approach can be applied within a company to generate satisfactory EAI solutions with low cost, high efficiency, and enhanced scalability.
