Abstract
With new developments such as cloud computing and SOA, integrating different applications is becoming increasingly important. We observed that many organizations have difficulties in the selection of a suitable application-integration solution. In this paper we present a method for the selection of enterprise application integration solutions. This method supports organizations in choosing solutions that consist of both technological and organizational measures. We used an assembly-based method engineering approach to construct the method. We validated the method using a case study and expert reviews.
