Abstract:
The purpose of Information System Integration (ISI) is to streamline business processes by synchronized or asynchoronized completion of a series of steps. Integration architects use the so called “integration layer” as a methodology to accomplish such tasks. To date, in the literature, three kinds of layer mechanisms are reported: No (Point-to-Point), One (Message Brokers), and Two (Message Bus). Although these three kind of layer types can solve most of the integration challenges, among them there are both design and run-time quality challenges. In this paper, a new type of layering, named “Three integration layers” is introduced to improve the quality of the integration solutions. Also, this paper argues that new integration layers can be used for ISI projects to improve IS integration quality.
