Mathematical Model for Simulating an Application Integration Solution in the Academic Context of Unijuí University

The enterprise applications consist of a set of applications that make up the software ecosystem. These can be developed in-house or acquired from third party companies. Generally these applications are developed in order to meet a demands/specific business need of the company without worrying of interacting with another existing system. The area of Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) is able to provide all techniques and tools in order to integrate heterogeneous applications software ecosystem of companies. The Guaraná DSL is a language that enables designing conceptual models of integration solutions using a concrete graphical and intuitive syntax. Integrating the applications is not a trivial task and solution development involves addition of costs (time and resources), risks such as the appearance of bugs that most often are observed only after the implementation of the conceptual model. In this paper we propose a simulation model using Petri Nets that enable the analysis of the behavior of an integration solution developed to a real-world integration problem at Unijuí University.
