Integrated enterprise information system development through component abstraction

This paper discusses the attempts to combine classical enterprise information systems development methodologies with component-based approach. It argues to use component-oriented paradigm for the development of systems at all three layers of enterprise. The paper presents principles and concepts of this paradigm in enterprise engineering context, proposes component abstraction as realization technique of most general engineering principles which can reduce the complexity of integrated enterprise information system development and maintenance The integrated enterprise information system components and their types are discussed.
