Abstract

Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) is one of the bigchallenges for software engineering. According to a recent reportpublished by IBM, for each US dollar spent on developing anapplication, companies usually spend from 5 up to 20 times more tointegrate it. In this paper we propose a Domain Specific Language(DSL) for designing application integration solutions. Contrary toApache Camel, our DSL proposal allows to design an integrationsolution visually, by working with building blocks at a higherlevel of abstraction, to create a reusable, well documented andindependent of technology/platform solutions.
