A Vision of Enterprise Integration Considerations - A holistic perspective as shown by the Purdue Enterprise Reference Architecture

Enterprise Integration (EI) is a key concept of Enterprise Engineering (EE) programs. This paper modifies the definition of Enterprise Integration through a broad vision of the field. Typical approaches are studied and reclassified based on recent results from the use of the Purdue Enterprise Reference Architecture. Theories of descriptiveness and prescriptiveness are proposed to support the newly established concept of Approach 2 Architectures as well as their general requirements.
