Software frameworks for information systems integration based on web services

ABSTRACT

In this work, we discuss the development of software frameworks to support information systems integration based on Web Services. As our main contribution, we introduce a set of requirements that these frameworks should address and present some relevant aspects of a framework called Business Application Support through Software Services (BASS) that was developed considering these requirements.
