In this chapter, the following content will be discussed: Component-based approach: reuse, integration, reuse of components not originally designed as reusable components, reuse of application patterns; level of integration can be chosen basic integration reusing the applications “as is”, data level (using relational database connector), implementation in COM. | Chapter 18 A Framework for Integrating Business Applications Page Building Reliable Component-based Systems Chapter 18 - A Framework for Integrating Business Applications Overview Motivation Information Organizer Practical Experiences Page Building Reliable Component-based Systems Chapter 18 - A Framework for Integrating Business Applications Motivation All information of importance is to be made available to different categories of users.

Page Building Reliable Component-based Systems Chapter 18 - A Framework for Integrating Business Applications The chapter presents a platform for integration and reuse of applications and data, Information Organizer. Information Organizer is designed to integrate information systems. With this we intend interactive, non-real-time systems in office environments, containing large amounts of data. Information Organizer builds on new concepts: objects are the central entities in a system, and the properties of objects are realized through aspects. Information Organizer realizes reuse in many ways, as we will see. Introduction, cont. Reuse of legacy systems Data Applications Application patterns Another possibility of reuse Page Building Reliable Component-based Systems Chapter 18 - A Framework for Integrating Business Applications The platform is designed to allow for reuse of legacy systems not originally designed for reuse. Both reuse of data and of whole applications is possible. We will return .
