Developing E-Business Enterprise Frameworks

Abstract

An Enterprise Framework is a software architecture that exposes a rich set of semantics and modeling paradigms for developing and extending enterprise applications. Enterprise frameworks are, by design, the cornerstone of an organization’s systems engineering activities. Enterprise frameworks offer a streamlined and flexible alternative to traditional tools and applications that feature numerous point solutions integrated into complex and often inflexible environments. Enterprise Frameworks play an important role since they allow reuse of design knowledge and offer techniques for creating reference models and scalable architectures for enterprise integration. These models and architectures are sufficiently flexible and powerful to be used at multiple levels.
