Although the concept of Cyber Intelligent Enteprise is largely based on Cyber Physical Systems (CPS), research in adjacent fields, like Internet of Things (IoT), is also important as it provides a valuable set of system architectures and integration techniques. The current socio-economic context provides the perfect opportunity for the development of a new breed of enterprise system architectur...

This paper is a comprehensive introduction to the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB), which is a new type of integration infrastructure. Therefore it gives a detailed introduction into the background of Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) and explains Message-Oriented Middleware (MOM) and ServiceOriented Architecture (SOA) which are the technologies the Enterprise Service Bus evolved out of. Aft...

This paper presents a Unified Enterprise Modeling Language (UEML) and a set of mappings which support translating models represented under an Enterprise Modeling Language into another Enterprise Modeling Language. These mappings also permit to integrate (i.e.compose) different models represented in different enterprise modeling languages into a unique model. Additionally, UEML is a meta-model t...

The use of Enterprise Architectures is becoming increasingly widespread in the private sector. Borrowing insights from enterprise reference architectures developed during the last decade, IT vendors and companies belonging to specific industries are establishing reference data and process models advancing the standardization of their businesses and creating a more integrated environment for the...

We present the architecture of an enterprise mobile service gateway for secure mobile access to distributed, autonomous, and heterogeneous enterprise data and services using browser-based thin-client. Our goal is to address key issues associated with mobile access to enterprise information, while minimizing the cost of service integration by leveraging existing infrastructure and business appli...

For software developers it has become becoming increasingly difficult to ignore design patterns as discussed by numerous books. This paper examines the question whether design patters are as useful as often argued by the academia. Are design patterns useful in real world scenarios? Do design patterns increase the time of development? Or might they be time-consuming without real value? This pape...

The paper outlines semantic-oriented methodology of enterprise software development. The methodology provides integrated visual semantic-oriented enterprise software development and integration in globally distributed heterogeneous environment. The ConceptModeller CASE tool fills the gap between formal computer science models and software engineering practices. The toolkit transforms frame-base...

As the focus of software engineering has expanded from information technology supporting the department, to supporting the organization, and to supporting the enterprise, engineering communities have attempted to extend their focus using Enterprise Frameworks and Enterprise Architectures (EAs). Unfortunately in doing so, information assurance (IA) is seldom considered for inclusion in such fram...

Enterprises are living things. They constantly need to be (re-)architected in order to achieve the necessary agility, alignment and integration. This paper gives a high-level overview of how companies can go about doing ‘enterprise architecture’ in the context of both the classic (isolated) enterprise and the Extended Enterprise. By discussing the goals that are pursued in an enterprise archite...

In order to improve business by automating business processes that span these isolated systems, the enterprise needs to integrate the isolated systems and applications with Enterprise Application Integration (EAI), which would be linking diverse systems and applications of the enterprise to enable the enterprise to adapt to the dynamic business environment. Whereas, with traditional EAI solutio...
