ENTERPRISE APPLICATION INTEGRATION: APPROACHES AND PLATFORMS TO DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT SOLUTIONS IN THE CLOUD
No full textNowadays companies have a software ecosystem composed of more than one application to support their business processes. On the Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) field can be found a set of methods, techniques, and tools to integrate them in a synchronous or asynchronous way. In this chapter, we review integration approaches and integration platforms available in the Cloud. We demonstrate the use of an integration platform by means of a case of study for a research outcomes and technological information management integration problem. The proposal addresses Portuguese and international science and research outcomes information management, and corresponding information systems. There are presented problems in interoperability between information systems. A business and technological perspective is provided, including the conceptual analysis and modelling, an integration solution based on a Domain-Specific Language (DSL) and the integration platform to execute the proposed solution. For illustrative purposes, the role and information system needs of a research unit is assumed as the representative case.Fernandos Rosa Sequeira and Vitor Basto-Fernandes’ work was supported by the Portuguese republic national funds through the FCT - Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology, I.P., under the project UID/CEC/4524/2016.

No full textDichotomius interstitialis (Luederwaldt) Luederwaldt (1931) proposed that D. interstitialis be placed in its own species group. After examining the holotype (located in the MZSP) and scrutinizing the original description, where the author compares it to the D. carbonarius species group, we place this species in the D. carbonarius species group based on the following characters: the elytra with microsculpture (Fig. 2 I); the cephalic carina with two tubercles; the pronotum without horns, tubercles, or knobs; the metatibial spur not bifurcated; and the body shape very similar to other species of this species group.Published as part of Nunes, Rafael V. & Vaz-De-Mello, Fernando Z., 2013, New brachypterous species of Dichotomius Hope, with taxonomic notes in the subgenus Luederwaldtinia Martínez (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae), pp. 411-420 in Zootaxa 3609 (4) on page 416, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3609.4.3, http://zenodo.org/record/22405
Advances in a DSL for Application Integration
Full text linkEnterprise Application Integration (EAI) is currently one of the big challenges for Software Engineering. According to a recent report, for each dollar spent on developing an application, companies usually spend from 5 to 20 dollars to integrate it. In this paper, we propose a Domain Specific Language (DSL) for designing application integration solutions. It builds on our experience on two real-world integration projects
A Study of Petri Nets, Markov Chains and Queueing Theory as Mathematical Modelling Languages Aiming at the Simulation of Enterprise Application Integration Solutions: A First Step
No full textAbstractEnterprise Application Integration (EAI) is a research field that seeks to develop methodologies, techniques and tools to design and development integration solutions. The software ecosystem of companies is comprised of several applications, usually obtained from third parties or developed internally and custom-made for their business processes. Interest in EAI has arisen due to the need to integrate different applications composing the software ecosystem to allow business processes to evolve in response to the constant demands of the business market. The main challenge facing companies in this context is that most of their applications are not designed considering integration with other applications. The development of integration solutions is not a simple task. Guaraná technology provides a domain-specific language that allows for the design of conceptual models to represent integration solutions. This paper reports on a study of Petri Nets, Markov Chains and Queueing Theory, aiming to construct simulation models from conceptual models of integration solutions modeled with Guaraná. We map the building blocks Slot and Task of Guaraná to their corresponding elements in the mathematical modelling languages studied
A software development kit to implement integration solutions
No full textTypical companies rely on their software ecosystems to support and optimise their business processes. There are a few proposals to help software engineers devise enterprise application integration solutions. Some companies need to adapt these proposals to particular contexts. Unfortunately, our analysis reveals that they are not so easy to maintain as expected. This motivated us to work on a new proposal that has been carefully designed in order to reduce main-tainability efforts
A Methodology to Evaluate the Maintainability of Enterprise Application Integration Frameworks
Full text linkConsulting companies that specialise in Enterprise Application Integration commonly require adapting existing frameworks to specific domains. Currently, there are many such frameworks available, most of which provide a materialisation of the well-known catalogue of patterns that was devised by Hohpe and Woolf. The decision regarding which framework must be used is critical since adaptation costs are not negligible. In this article, we report on a methodology that helps practitioners make a decision regarding which framework should be
selected. To the best of our knowledge, there is not a previous methodology in the literature. Its salient features are that we have assembled a catalogue of measures regarding which there is a consensus in the literature that they are clearly aligned with the effort required to maintain a piece of software and we propose a statistically-sound method to produce a rank. We illustrate our proposal with an industrial case study that we have performed using five open-source frameworks.Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia TIN2007-64119Junta de Andalucía P07-TIC-2602Junta de Andalucía P08-TIC-4100Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación TIN2008-04718-EMinisterio de Ciencia e Innovación TIN2010-21744Ministerio de Economía, Industria y Competitividad TIN2010-09809-EMinisterio de Ciencia e Innovación TIN2010-10811-EMinisterio de Ciencia e Innovación TIN2010-09988-EMinisterio de Economía y Competitividad TIN2013- 40848-
How reduced demand for children and access to family planning accelerated the fertility decline in Colombia
Full text linkBy the early 1960s, Colombia was one of the fastest growing countries in the world. With a total fertility rate of seven children per woman and a rapidly declining mortality, its population was growing at a rate that would double in size every 22 years. But from the years 1973 - 1985 the doubling time increased to 41 years. This slowdown in growth, caused by a dramatic decline in fertility, was one of the most rapid demographic transition processes in the world. The causes and mechanisms of this phenomena deserve to be carefully studied if the experience is to be replicated in other countries. A framework developed by Richard Easterlin is used in this study to analyze the fertility change in Colombia. Considering the effects of socioeconomic changes on supply of and demand for children, together with effects on regulation costs, this framework will allow us to understand the underlying causes and processes behind the fertility decline.Economic Theory&Research,Environmental Economics&Policies,Health Monitoring&Evaluation,Health Economics&Finance,Adolescent Health
