Evolution support in heterogeneous service-oriented landscapes

We present an incarnation of the Enterprise Physics vision sketched in [3] that provides automatic or semi-automatic support for evolution and change management in heterogeneous legacy landscapes. In our approach, 1) legacy heterogeneous, possibly distributed platforms are integrated in a service oriented fashion, 2) the coordination of functionality is provided at the service level, through orchestration, 3) compliance and correctness are provided through policies and business rules, 4) evolution and correctness-by-design are supported by the eXtreme Model Driven Development paradigm (XMDD) offered by the jABC [2] - the model-driven service oriented platform we use here for integration, design, evolution, and governance. The artefacts are here semantically enriched, so that automatic synthesis plugins can field the vision of Enterprise Physics: knowledge driven business process development for the end user. 1 Enterprise Physics: Vision or Reality? Enterprise Physics [3] is a metaphor...
