Enterprise Modeling and Integration

This book combines the two methodologies of enterprise modeling and enterprise integration and advocates a systematic engineering approach called Enterprise Engineering, for modeling, analysing, designing and implementing integrated enterprise systems. Three main themes are explored in this book. The most significant enterprise modeling and integration architectures are presented. Enterprise modeling principles are then introduced and state-of-the-art methods to model various aspects of an enterprise system are discussed and compared. The final part is devoted to enterprise integration principles and techniques.
