Abstract

Enterprise Information Integration (EII) is an emerging enterprise software category that addresses the issues of managing distributed heterogeneous information systems to provide a composite view of information (ie single view of truth). Composite Software has pioneered work on dealing with high-performance query optimization across web service data services and relational sources to provide for leading-edge technology. This talk will focus on the use cases for EII, the technical challenges of an EII solution, the technical issues of managing query optimization, semantics, and distribution entitlement, and the areas of potential research in regards to processing large XML streams in this domain.
