Abstract:
Over the past decades, a change from singular mainframe applications into complex distributed application landscapes has occured. Consequently, the execution of business processes takes place in a distributed manner, requiring an extensive amount of communication between different applications. It becomes apparent that application interfaces are of overall significance within distributed application landscapes. But in our experience, interfaces usually do not get the required attention during construction, which is in contrast to their importance. Instead, only technical descriptions, e.g., syntactical descriptions, are given and important functional as well as operational aspects have been omitted leading to unstable and unneccesary complex interfaces. To address the aforementioned problems, this paper contributes a comprehensive overview on interface construction. Therefore, all necessary interface specification components, an interface design process and operational migration patterns are given.
