The research and application of Web Services in enterprise application integration

Abstract

At present, most enterprises have a heterogeneous environment of legacy application, which lead to many "information isolated islands". Enterprises become more and more eager to share data in business processes over different systems. Traditional Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) methods usually integrate applications from peer to peer which has many defects. In This paper, a kind of EAI framework based on Web Services (WSEAI) has been put forward, which has nothing with any platform and programming language, so it can make the enterprise applications integrated together without gap. We have been successfully putting the EAI framework in one logistical company's WebGPS system and realized the integration based on Web Services. © 2008 by Springer Science+Business Media New York.
