Enterprise Integration Performance Modeling and Measurement Based on Category Theory

The compliance with quality requirements such as performance is one of the most important issues in the enterprise integration field today. None of the current strategic models and frameworks for performance measurement, such as balanced scorecard, performance prism, IPMS, smart pyramid etc., consider performance measurement and management from enterprise integration perspective. The aim of this paper is to define a formal and comprehensive framework for performance measurement of enterprise integration consisting of enterprise models and measurement models that build upon them. The novelty of this research lies in employing the mathematical category theory to guaranty that the obtained enterprise integration performance measurement is theoretically valid as required by the representational theory of measurement.
