CAS 747 - Software Architecture and Reverse Engineering, 2006 EAI Architecture Elements of Style by Magdin Stoica McMaster University March 28, 2006
2
CAS 747 - Software Architecture and Reverse Engineering, 20062 Outline What is Enterprise Application Integration (EAI)? Why do we need EAI? What are the elements of an EAI solution? What is the architecture of an EAI solution? Are there different ways to architect an EAI solution? Why do we need architecture styles? Defining an EAI architecture style How do we represent EAI architectures? How should we represent EAI architectures?

CAS 747 - Software Architecture and Reverse Engineering, 200615 EAI Architecture Style EAI architecture styles are hierarchical Components End Point: Database End Point, Application End Point, Web End Point HUB: Message Broker, Process Broker, ERP, Database Document Transaction Monitor Connectors Call (Push) Poll (Pull) Notification (Indirect Call) Message Queue Message Bus Constraints End-Points can only be connected with the hub (Hub & Spoke) End-Points can only be connected with the message bus (Message Bus)
16
CAS 747 - Software Architecture and Reverse Engineering, 200616 Documenting EAI Architecture Styles Documenting through UML OMG standardized UML4EAI metamodel and the EAI UML profile Regular UML tools can be used for designing EAI solutions Does not support the notion of architecture styles Does not support all components and connectors Basic support for hierarchical styles An enhanced MOF metamodel for EAI architecture styles An enhanced UML profile for EAI architecture styles Documenting through ACME Strong support for architecture styles and system families Lack of tools and industry support No specific EAI architecture styles defined Define EAI architecture style in ACME
17
CAS 747 - Software Architecture and Reverse Engineering, 200617 Summary EAI architectures are mature and exhibit clear elements of style EAI architecture styles make for a great case in hierarchical architecture styles EAI architecture styles are not formally defined EAI architectures can be described through UML tools using UML4EAI or… …in ADLs once EAI architecture styles are defined in ACME
