Abstract

Application integration is a complex problem that consumes a significant share of the IT budget of many companies and organizations. CSpaces aim to improve the current state of the art in system integration by transforming the Semantic Web into a Semantic Enterprise Service Bus for application integration and coordination. A use case scenario for integration of heterogeneous project management applications in the construction industry tests the ability of CSpaces to handle integration problems.
