Reuse-oriented architecture of an integrated multimedia messaging application

Integrating different means of communication is one of the most actual and challenging issues nowadays. In addition to that, an integration system should also be constructed using an open architecture, allowing for adding new services based on different technologies. This paper comes with its own contribution to this global goal by introducing a novel approach meant to bring simplicity and interoperability to and among various communication technologies. The presented architecture is reuse-oriented, integrating suitable architectural patterns allowing for the development of different application systems according to the specific requirements of the communication providers (i.e. Telecom operators or ISPs).
