# Catalog of Optimization Strategies and Realizations for Composed Integration Patterns

## TL;DR

This paper compiles and explains various optimization strategies for composing enterprise integration patterns, addressing the lack of formalization and optimization in integration scenario processes.

## Contribution

It provides a catalog of process optimization techniques specifically tailored for composed enterprise integration patterns, filling a gap in formal descriptions.

## Key findings

- Identified key optimization strategies from literature
- Categorized optimization techniques for integration scenarios
- Facilitates improved composition of integration patterns

## Abstract

The discipline of Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) is the centrepiece of current on-premise, cloud and device integration scenarios. However, the building blocks of integration scenarios, i.e., essentially a composition of Enterprise Integration Patterns (EIPs), are only informally described, and thus their composition takes place in an informal, ad-hoc manner. This leads to several issues including a currently missing optimization of application integration scenarios. In this work, we collect and briefly explain the usage of process optimizations from the literature for integration scenario processes as catalog.
