Abstract
Contemporary, business-to-business inter-enterprise IT systems are usually based on some form of asynchronous messaging between applications. These applications talk to nearby databases in a transactional way. Designing such systems is the topic of this short paper. We pay particular attention to the fact that what businesses need is safe, evolutionary change and what businesses have is a large investment in legacy applications.
