Abstract

In this paper we present an approach for designing interaction behaviour in service-oriented enterprise application integration. The approach enables business analysts to actively participate in the design of an integration solution. In this way, we expect that the solution meets its integration goal and business requirements. The approach consists of four steps: (i) represent the existing services to be integrated in platform-independent models; (ii) derive the models of the goals and business requirements of the services; (iii) check whether an abstract interaction representing the integration goal may occur between the services; and (iv) if so, (recursively) refine the interaction into a realisable design. The approach is characterised by an early check on the possibility of an integration solution, clear expressions of the integration goal and business requirements, and explicit use of the descriptions of the existing services as bottom-up knowledge during refinement. To support the approach, we present a set of patterns of interaction refinement as guidelines in refining abstract interactions.
