商品描述

Description:

Creating dynamic, adaptive, self-configuring enterprise infrastructures

As many traditional integration technologies prove inadequate to the tasks for which they were designed, it has become clear that any effective EAI (Enterprise Application Integration) solution requires a new approach to thinking about enterprise infrastructures. Adaptive Information provides that new approach. This groundbreaking guide introduces a revolutionary new framework for the infrastructure of the future: semantically aware; driven by models of information, process, and service interfaces; and able to learn new behavior, find patterns, and rebuild itself for different platforms.

Offering copious pragmatic examples of how semantic interoperability already fosters new capabilities, speeds up processes, and reduces costs, the authors provide a solid foundation in semantics and describe how metadata, ontologies, and software tools are used to provide semantic interoperability. Readers learn how to:

  • Organize and architect a semantic interoperability project
  • Make decisions about tools
  • Choose the most appropriate architectural patterns and technologies
  • Achieve new capabilities, including dynamic information repurposing, adaptive service-oriented networks, and loosely coupled application connections

Complete with plenty of helpful tips, definitions, and practical examples, Adaptive Information is must reading for CIOs and CTOs, IT managers, IT architects, and application developers alike.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

描述：
創建動態、適應性、自我配置的企業基礎設施
由於許多傳統的整合技術無法滿足其設計目的，因此清楚地認識到任何有效的企業應用集成（EAI）解決方案都需要一種新的思考企業基礎設施的方法。Adaptive Information提供了這種新方法。這本開創性的指南介紹了未來基礎設施的一個革命性新框架：具有語義意識；由信息、過程和服務接口的模型驅動；並能夠學習新行為、尋找模式並為不同平台重建自身。

提供豐富的實用示例，說明語義互操作性已經促進了新的能力，加快了流程，降低了成本，作者提供了語義和描述如何使用元數據、本體論和軟件工具來提供語義互操作性的堅實基礎。讀者將學習如何：
- 組織和設計語義互操作性項目
- 做出有關工具的決策
- 選擇最適合的架構模式和技術
- 實現新的能力，包括動態信息重用、適應性服務導向網絡和鬆散耦合的應用程序連接

配有大量有用的提示、定義和實際示例，Adaptive Information是CIO和CTO、IT經理、IT架構師和應用程序開發人員必讀的書籍。
