Enterprise Integration Deployment - Migration of Existing Applications - Workshop 3, Working Group 3

The subject of migration and subsequent integration of existing (heritage) applications has been overlooked by the enterprise integration community. The working group calls for the definition of an Application Integration Architecture, in the sense of a semantically uniform platform encompassing: models of services, migration constructs such as interfaces or wrappers, schema sharing (by services or by users) and model mapping facilities. Besides the basic features of this architecture, aspects of a stepwise method guiding its deployment are also considered.
