   Legacy splitting: the next step in Enterprice Application Integration?

   Date:    17.01.02
   Time:    10:00
   Venue:   M2.80 CWI
   Speaker: Huub Bakker
   Title:   Legacy splitting: the next step in Enterprice Application Integrati
on?

   Application  integration is one of the major topics ICT-departments of
   big  companies  have to face. It is the enabling technology behind all
   kind  of  eBusiness  initiatives.  State-of-the-art in EAI-land can be
   characterised as 'virtual plumbing'; connecting existing applications.
   The  best  thing  you  can  achieve  is some technical and syntactical
   integration.  But  in  order  to make applications really 'understand'
   each  other  another  level of integration is needed. Shared semantics
   between  applications  will start in some enterprise architecture. But
   when  you  want to implement this architecture you are confronted with
   the existing legacy. How are we going to bring the legacy applications
   'under  architecture'?  Wrapping  is  not  enough! Throwing away works
   fine, but is expensive. Can we invent something in between?

   Have a nice day.

   The  programming environment meetings are a forum for the presentation
   and  discussion  of  new  ideas,  ongoing and finished work. A typical
   meeting  addresses  a subject in the area of programming environments,
   program  generation, algebraic specification, term rewriting, parsing,
   etc.  A presentation ideally takes between 45 and 90 minutes. Meetings
   taking  longer  than 45 minutes are interrupted by a coffeebreak. Most
   Thursdays,  a  meeting is held which starts at 10:00 am. in one of the
   rooms at CWI/WINS. Exceptionally, dates or times may change.

   The    program    of    the    meetings    is    available   on   WWW:
