In dieser Arbeit wird der Entwurf und die Realisierung einer Software beschrieben, die vorhandene Serversysteme, die strukturiert Daten bereitstellen, abstrahiert und damit die vorhandenen Differenzen solcher Backends für eine Client-Anwendung eliminiert, um einen standardisierten Zugriff auf beliebige, und damit austauschbare, Datenquellen für eine Anwendung bereitzustellen. Dazu werden verschiedene Abstraktionsebenen eingeführt und es wird eine einheitliche Datenstruktur und Schnittstelle definiert. Das entwickelte System ist als Middleware konzipiert, das heißt, es dient als Grundlage für andere Software. Um die Stabilität und Praktikabilität der Middleware zu verifizieren, wurden zusätzlich mehrere Anwendungen implementiert. Ein graphischer Swing-basierter Konfigurationsclient ermöglicht die komplette Verwaltung der entwickelten Middleware auf eine einfache und benutzerfreundliche Weise. Ein weiterer Client implementiert einen Benchmark, um durch die Erzeugung von hohen Lasten neben der Speicher- und Durchsatzperformance die Systemstabilität zu verifizieren. Um mittels einer installierten Middleware verschiedene Clients zu ermöglichen und um die Verteilung von Anwendungen im Sinne des 3-tier-Modells zu unterstützen, basiert die Lösung auf einer Verteilungsplattform, wobei konkret die Java Remote Method Invocation benutzt wurde. Eine weitere wichtige Funktion ist die Möglichkeit, vorhandenen Client-Anwendungen zur Laufzeit den Zugriff auf weitere Backendsysteme zu ermöglichen. Dieses wurde durch die Entwicklung einer Treiberarchitektur realisiert. Diese Treiberarchitektur wurde dabei so strukturiert, daß neben den reinen Datenbanken auch lokale Dateien oder XML-Strukturen als Datenquellen eingebunden werden können. Dadurch ist es beispielsweise möglich, bei der konkreten Softwareenwicklung mit einer Oracle-Datenbank zu arbeiten und erst bei der Installation des fertigen Produkts bei einem Kunden das System auf eine IBM DB2 Datenbank zu konfigurieren, ohne daß dazu eine Änderung des Programms notwendig wäre. / This diploma thesis describes the concept and the creation of software that abstracts existing server systems delivering structured data. Thus, it eliminates the existing differences of such backend machines for client applications. In this context, various abstraction levels will be provided, and both a consistent data structure and an integrative interface will be defined. The system was created following the middleware concept so that it can establish a base system for other software. In order to verify both the dependability and the usability of the middleware, various additional applications were also implemented. A graphical and Swing-based Configuration Client enables an easy and user-friendly middleware management. An additional client implements a benchmark and induces high traffic in order to verify both the dependability and the storage and capacity performance of the system. Using the Java Remote Method Invocation, the solution is based on a distribution platform in order to enable both different clients and an application distribution in terms of the 3-tier model by means of an installed middleware. Another important feature is the enabling option for existing client applications in order to access additional backend systems. This feature was implemented by creating a driver architecture. The structure of the driver architecture was realized in a way it will allow the integration of pure databases on the one hand side, but also of local files and XML structures on the other hand side. Thus, the system allows the use of an Oracle database for specific software development processes, and it must only be configured to an IBM DB2 database during the final product installation at the customers´ site. Moreover, this configuration can be done without changing the system.

No. of bitstreams: 1 DISSERT MANASSES VICENTE.pdf: 2610789 bytes, checksum: 11b7e25414d7db496b0844456246caf4 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2015-11-07 / Existem duas abordagens para integração de sistemas de informação: ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) e EAI (Enterprise Application Integration), sendo a mais conhecida a primeira delas. A integração fornecida pelo ERP não é por si só suficiente visto que falhou em atender a todas as áreas funcionais, deixando uma lacuna preenchida por softwares especialistas ou sistemas legados, principalmente em verticais de mercado não atendidas pelo ERP. É através da integração dos vários tipos de aplicações empresariais – EAI – que se atinge a integração ou inter-relacionamento dos processos de negócios e/ou estruturas de negócios. Portanto, ela é tanto estratégica quanto operacional, pois afeta os resultados das organizações, conferindo-lhes competitividade e sustentabilidade nos negócios. Entretanto, as dificuldades do EAI começam na escolha / seleção das tecnologias existentes ainda no processo de aquisição, tornando a tomada de decisão na aquisição de tecnologias ou soluções de EAI uma tarefa complexa e difícil devido aos critérios não apenas quantitativos, mas também qualitativos. O objetivo desta pesquisa é definir critérios para seleção de tecnologias de EAI. O método de pesquisa consiste na revisão da literatura para mapear os critérios usados na seleção de softwares, principalmente EAI e ERP, e na análise do conteúdo da norma ISO/IEC 25010:2011 sobre os critérios de qualidade de software e do Guia de Aquisições do Modelo de Referência para Melhoria de Processo do Software Brasileiro (MPS-BR) baseado na Norma Internacional ISO/IEC 12207:2008 que descreve o processo de aquisição de software e serviços correlatos. Este estudo apresentou como contribuição, além da quantidade expressiva de critérios identificados na literatura possíveis de serem usados no processo de aquisição de softwares, um conjunto de critérios provenientes da literatura científica e técnica, categorizados em três níveis, que possibilita aos profissionais de EAI poderem atuar de modo proativo desde a escolha da solução de EAI. / There are two approaches for the information systems integration: ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) which is well-known, and EAI (Enterprise Application Integration). The ERP integration is not totally satisfactory as it has failed in supplying all functional areas, providing space to be filled by specialized softwares or legacy systems, mainly in market verticals where ERP could not meet. By the integration with the several types of business applications – EAI – it is possible to reach an integration or interrelationship of the business processes and/or structures; therefore, it is as strategic as operational since it affects the organizational results, providing the organizations business competitiveness and sustainability. However, the EAI’s difficulties lie in choosing/selecting the existing technologies in the acquisition process, turning the decision-making of technologies or EAI solutions acquisition a hard and complex task due to the criteria not only quantitative but also qualitative. The purpose of this research is to define criteria for EAI technologies selection. The method of research consists of literature revision to map the criteria used in softwares selection, mainly the EAI and ERP, and analysis of ISO/IEC 25010:2011 standard content on the software quality criteria and Guia de Aquisições do Modelo de Referência para Melhoria de Processo do Software Brasileiro (MPS-BR) based on ISO/IEC 12207:2008 International Standard, which describes the acquisition process of software and associated services. This study has presented as contribution, aside from the significant amount of the identified criteria in the literature and their possibility of being used in software acquisition process, a set of criteria derived from scientific and technical literature, categorized in three levels, enabling EAI’s professionals to act proactively from the choice of EAI solution.

Manufacturing today has become a matter of the effective and efficient application of information technology and knowledge engineering. Manufacturing firms success depends to a great extent on information technology, which emphasizes the integration of the information systems used by a manufacturing enterprise. This integration is also called enterprise application integration (here the term application means information systems or software systems). The methodology for enterprise application integration, in particular enterprise application integration automation, has been studied for at least a decade; however, no satisfactory solution has been found. Enterprise application integration is becoming even more difficult due to the explosive growth of various information systems as a result of ever increasing competition in the software market. This thesis aims to provide a novel solution to enterprise application integration. The semantic data model concept that evolved in database technology is revisited and applied to enterprise application integration. This has led to two novel ideas developed in this thesis. First, an ontology of an enterprise with five levels (following the data abstraction: generalization/specialization) is proposed and represented using unified modeling language. Second, both the ontology for the enterprise functions and the ontology for the enterprise applications are modeled to allow automatic processing of information back and forth between these two domains. The approach with these novel ideas is called the enterprise semantic model approach. The thesis presents a detailed description of the enterprise semantic model approach, including the fundamental rationale behind the enterprise semantic model, the ontology of enterprises with levels, and a systematic way towards the construction of a particular enterprise semantic model for a company. A case study is provided to illustrate how the approach works and to show the high potential of solving the existing problems within enterprise application integration.

Stemming from three major finance realms, such as the pooling of resources and capital for banking, insurance, and securities, multi-faceted business territories have been established. By providing the customers with bundling of financial products and services towards a on-stop-shopping manner, the financial industry has begun to reducing operation costs by using cross-selling methodologies. This research explores thus the framework and IT requirement behind cross-selling services, with the following research goals: 1. to investigate the methodology needed by financial holding companies to employ corporate information resources to reduce redundant investments of subsidiary companies and to achieve the mutual resource usage goal. 2. to investigate the information resources integration framework for cross-selling financial corporations. Based on analytic method originated from Zachman Framework, this research conducted thus a case study on a domestic financial group. The core of this case study is to identify policy loan related cross-selling activities among the banking and insurance companies of the financial group. Therefore, the author has dissected and restructured the legacy financial application of information technology to establish an overview of the architect of EAI (Enterprise Applications Integration) platform with extension of real-time lending, repayment, and wealth management services, etc. A last, this research concludes the affected efficacy with respect to four aspects on information technology integration of cross-selling: 1. Organization of information resources and establishment of customer relations management. 2. Development of composite financial products to satisfy customer needs. 3. Channels integration and sales force automation system. 4. Establishment of enterprise portal with at least single-sign-on functionality to reduce cost efficiently.

This work deals with the implementation of support for network identifiers containing national characters in the SProbe software project, which is designed to monitor network flows. It was necessary to test and evaluate the status of selected network applications working over SMTP, POP3, IMAP, FTP or SIP protocols. On the basis of the information obtained, an extension of the current software project SProbe was proposed - a module to support network traffic monitoring with national alphabet characters. The proposed solution was then implemented and the functionality of the entire resulting system was tested. In addition, this work proposes and implements a modification of the test environment for faster and more efficient testing of the system focusing on tests containing diacritics.
