Hosted universal integration on the web: The mashart platform

Abstract

Traditional integration practices like Enterprise Application Integration and Enterprise Information Integration approaches typically focus on the application layer and the data layer in software systems, i.e., on limited and specific development aspects. Current web mashup practices, instead, show that there is also a concrete need for (i) integration at the presentation layer and (ii) integration approaches that conciliate all the three layers together. In this demonstration, we show how our mashArt approach addresses these challenges and provides skilled web users with universal integration in a hosted fashion. © 2009 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
