Enterprise model-based software architecture with server component integration

Many companies are seeking new information systems that support more business activities than current systems. Such a system should enable more rapid information collection and sharing, and promote increased automation. Furthermore, there is a strong technological demand for the integration of various business systems and rapid modification of business processes and rules embedded in the system. To meet this demand, we propose enterprise model-based software development and associated software architecture with integrated server components. An experimental but practical system has been developed and evaluated in projects located in various countries. This paper discusses the viability of enterprise model-based software architecture with integrated server components such as a business application system, a Web server, a workflow server, and a directory server
