Research Trends in Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) Applications: A Systematic Mapping Study

Abstract

In recent years, enterprise service bus (ESB) has become a favorable adoption as a technology category in the IT industry as it provides secure and guaranteed delivery of services. The elasticity of Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) enables numerous applications to exchange information makes it a significant middleware layer responsible for transferring information in a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). ESB is presently the utmost promising tactic for the integration of business applications in distributed and diverse environments. It also offers essential infrastructure support for transforming messages or data, intelligent routing, and protocol transformation. The idea of ESBs emerged from the requirements to move out from traditional integration patterns, that becomes difficult to manage with the passage of time. Our study aim is to understand and provide ongoing research topics, challenges and future directions concerning ESB applications. A systematic mapping study (SMS) is therefore implemented to categorize the selected papers into the following classification: contribution type, ESB applications, research type and their approaches. We have extracted a total of twenty-two papers for this systematic study and they are classified according to defined criteria. The findings of this SMS are discussed and researchers were provided with suggestions on possible directions for future research.

Social and Economic Contribution of 5G and Blockchain With Green Computing: Taxonomy, Challenges, and Opportunities

“…Planning, 2. conducting the mapping study, and 3. conclusions and reviews. An SMS is different from the systematic literature review (SLR) [67], Which content regarding the evolution of the confederation of the manifest, straining the recognition of the most similar pattern, and wherever particular indication truant or adequately explicit in organic literature. Meanwhile, it is not the grail of the study, as the elaborated study of articles/papers is not here.…”

Planning Bus Transit Unit in Sprawling Townships; Khurdha Road Junction, Odisha; India

“…Owaisa M et al [13,14 and 15], claimed transit network design is a method that can reduce the number of passengers but enhances service facilities when the road is congested. When overall connectivity is considered in a ring road (radial) in a square city and grid road in old cities, the transit system is better option Sun H., [16], Aziz A., [17], Owaisa M, et al [18]. Since the township considered is a small area; the underground or ring road system and transport transit network, circular bus route proposal (Owaisa M et al [19]) shall be expensive.…”

The Evolution of an Architectural Paradigm - Using Blockchain to Build a Cross-Organizational Enterprise Service Bus

“…An ESB is " […] an open standard, message based, distributed integration infrastructure that provides routing, invocation and mediation services to facilitate the interactions of disparate distributed applications and services in a secure and reliable manner" [25]. ESBs are a rather old concept that received limited academic attention and achieved limited maturity in practice [4], not least due to their strong emphasis on centralization [25] and an approach of "share-as-much-as-possible" [8].…”
