Wasabi Framework An Open Service Infrastructure for Collaborative Work

Today\´s collaborative systems are usually designed as single, monolithic applications. Whenever additional functionality is needed, users are confronted with several independent applications, leading to discontinuances and media breaches in their workflows. It is therefore essential to integrate different applications into a common service-oriented infrastructure to enable such a collaborative system to offer various functionalities without unnecessary discontinuities. Atop on our now ten years of experience in the design of collaborative systems, we present a flexible and extensible service-oriented framework for collaborative systems. Our "Wasabi" framework builds upon modern enterprise architecture technologies.
