Nowadays integration and interoperability studies and research have become hot topics in business field, providing technologies which enable Enterprise Application Integration (EAI). In this sense, Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) products have gained a significant prominence as the mechanisms for supporting EAI. As a consequence, several ESB products from both commercial and open source have emerged. Due to the importance of using open source solutions for several areas, such as business and research field, studies about some open ESB products should be done. Moreover, in these studies the integration of existing services and processes should be studied. The aim of this paper is to evaluate some of the most important open ESBs by indicating the main features and the performance differences between them concerning the integration of existing services and processes in each of the ESBs analyzed. |
