Enterprise Integration and Networking: Issues, trends and vision

Abstract

Enterprise Integration and Networking has been the topic of extensive research. Achievements deal with theoretical definition of reference models and architectures, modeling languages and tools, and development of relevant standards. The impact on today business has somehow been limited; therefore a revision of relevant issues and trends is required to establish a coherent vision for future research. This paper summarizes the underlying principles and challenges for enterprise modeling and integration, and its impact on enterprise networking.
