Workshop on agents and multi-agent systems for enterprise integration, Salamanca, Spain
Companies are increasingly relying on software applications to manage their data. This has led to a trend towards integrating applications in order to support and optimise business processes. Ad-hoc solutions are not adequate due to their high development and maintenance costs. Recently, service-oriented architecture and semantic web initiatives have provided new paradigms and technologies that help integrate applications and information.
However, according to recent industrial reports, the cost of a typical integration project is still far from negligible. Integration tools built on low-level constructs do not support sufficiently specific integration problems. Data is becoming pervasively graph-based (RDF, RDFS), and the literature does not provide a technique to integrate such data. As well, most techniques focus on applications that provide a programmatic or a data-oriented interface, but many web applications have only a user interface.
The workshop will be a forum for ideas where stakeholders can present results, share experience, and enhance cooperation.For further information, please visit: http://www.paams.net/ZOCO12/(opens in new window)
