Detecting semantically related concepts in a SOA integration scenario
In this paper, we present an approach to detecting semantically related
concepts in a service oriented environment. This method is essential when
creating collaborative business processes. Standard enterprise application
systems such as enterprise resource planning (ERP), customer relationship
management (CRM), supply chain management (SCM) etc. offer a lot of
opportunities for application interoperability. System integrators assign a
set of services from various application systems to the integration
scenario. A well defined discovery process can detect these services.
Nevertheless, building an operable business process requires the mapping of
these services in the data schema used in the business process. This mapping
results in a global understanding of relevant business concepts in the
integration scenario. This paper focuses on the identification of
semantically relevant concepts in different schemas in the participating
services. A short overview of our integration platform and methodology is
also included
SOA based web service adaptation in enterprise application integration
Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) is a permanent need since various information systems are employed at companies. Numerous standard systems must be aligned to new business processes. There are participant systems older than 10 years, and others developed only 1-2 years ago. This implicates a wide technological variance making the integration problem a real challenging issue. The widespread of the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) seems to be one of the most promising approaches in EAI. Although this is already supported by solid technology and tools, deploying executable processes, predicting and optimizing their non-functional performance is still an open issue. In this paper we propose a technological solution for the adaptation of standard enterprise services into SOA integration scenarios providing support for applying data transformation to bridge data incompatibilities. To evaluate our approach three other possible solutions are designed and implemented. An in detailed analytic and experimenta
l comparison of the approaches is also presented
