Abstract

Traditionally, enterprise applications are complex and monolithic. Business operation has become one of the most important factors to determine the efficiency of an organization. Therefore, great amount of customization has to be made with enterprise applications. An organization will have a big competitive advantage if it can adopt new business requirements and processes faster. Today, customization and extension of enterprise applications are hard, time consuming, and require expert knowledge. By means of extending mashup concepts which are popular in consumer space into enterprise applications space, it is possible to make an enterprise platform friendlier for a new generation of developers and users.Enterprise Mashup Application Platform(EMAP) is a browser-based appli-cation composition environment and run-time, which simplifies application development on top of existing, complex enterprise platforms and services. The lightweight platform provides tools to realize mashup applications from conceptualization to deployment with a focus on extensibility, open standards and integration of 3rd party components. EMAP allows the user to create faster time to market, Do It Yourself (DIY) applications quickly and helps the users to create a variety of useful enterprise solutions.
