Abstract

Enterprise Integration Patterns allow us to design a middleware system conceptually before actually implementing it. So far, the in-depth analysis of such a design was not feasible, as these patterns are only described informally. We introduce a translation of each of these patterns into a Coloured Petri Net, which allows to investigate and improve middleware system designs in early stages of development in a number of use cases, including validation and performance analysis using simulation, automatic completion of control-flow in middleware designs, verifying a design for errors and functional properties, and obtaining an implementation in automatic way.
