Abstract
The integration of services into business applications within enterprise services is needed in on-premise settings as well as in upcoming on-demand enterprise settings. Today, it is typically performed in manual integration projects by highly skilled integration experts on the consumer side. As consumers demand flexible and adaptable enterprise systems with lower total cost of ownership (TCO), enterprise system vendors need to provide efficient mechanisms to integrate services within business applications. For this less explored but promising area of service-oriented architecture (SOA) research, a service integration framework with a pattern-based modeling approach is presented that allows for the integration of services into business applications at a later stage in the software-lifecycle - especially after shipment.
