Ricardo Seguel - Beta Conference - Nov. 9 2011
How to integrate Enterprise Information Systems in an
efficient and effective way to form business chains?
Ricardo Seguel - Beta Conference - Nov. 9 2011
Common real world situation
• Business executives from different countries– meet at international conferences– Look for new opportunities– Do business
• Many meetings• Translators– Listen to an executive– Translate the sentence in his mind– Speak the translated sentence to the other
Ricardo Seguel - Beta Conference - Nov. 9 2011
Common real world situation
• Many languages, own grammar and vocabulary, e.g. Spanish and Dutch
• Translated sentences with words in the right order and grammar
• If so– Executives interact and do business
Ricardo Seguel - Beta Conference - Nov. 9 2011
Similar scenario in e-business
• Executives -> Enterprise Inf. Sys. (EIS)• Conference -> Electronic market places• Meetings -> Integration of EIS between
companies• Every company speak its own language, defined
by a protocol• Differences appear even using common
standards• So companies cannot interact and do business
The translator is a protocol adaptor
Receive, store and deliver messages in the right order and format.
Companies collaborate with providers and consumers and form different chains

Interacting Services

Example of mismatch

X cannot consume the messages from the queue in the expected order

Need for adaptation
• Collaboration of interacting services to reach a business goal
• Dynamic service outsourcing– Just-in-time selection of partners
• Services cannot collaborate if they are incompatible– They cannot be selected
Ricardo Seguel - Beta Conference - Nov. 9 2011
Two kinds of mismatch
• Interface mismatch–Differences in the formats and – specifications on the messages
• Behavioral mismatch– Two interacting services reach a deadlock if they wait for each other to send a messageFocus of
the research

Method Contribution
Ricardo Seguel - Beta Conference - Nov. 9 2011
Efficient and Effective
• Efficient and automated approach• Minimal adaptor
– Less complex– Less message overhead
• Protocols containing– Sequence– Parallelism– Choices – Loops
• Protocols using synchronous and asynchronous communication– Most of services communicate asynchronously
Existing methods • Not minimal• All messages• Only sequential processes• Only Synchronous comm.

Gartner predictions (Jan. 2010)
• Through 2014, the act of composition will be a– stronger opportunity to deliver value from
software than the act of development.• By 2014, business process networks
(BPNs) will –underpin 35% of new multi-enterprise
integration projects.

Effective and Efficient
• Using Service Adaptation– To resolve integration problems of EIS among
companies– To enable selection of partners
• Identifying adaptation responsibility of a partner
• Architecture and Technology for enabling Flexible Configuration business chains
• Using an efficient method for business protocol adaptation

Future Work
• Architecture support– Reference Architecture and validation of design
with more real cases, e.g. De Lage Landen
• Extending the Architecture prototype– Check other non-functional requirements like
efficiency, scalability, portability, etc.– Cost effective and SLA’s
