Towards a taxonomy of architecture integration strategies

1. ABSTRACT By detecting interoperability problems at the architectural style level, properties of an integrated system can be defined early in the design process. There are many integration strategies, but their definitions do not provide the developer with a foundation to select a strategy for its appropriateness in implementing a correct solution. In this paper, we discuss our preliminary findings from architectural style integration analysis. We form a partial integration taxonomy that shows the relationship between existing integration strategies and the integration elements defined at the architectural level. 1.1
