What’s Wrong with Wrapper Approaches in Modeling Information System Integration and Interoperability?
Among the largest impact research themes at the time of world-wide recession, the key subject is how to cope with mega company formations and e-government (digital government) projects that depend on the successes of information system integration. The current information system integration approaches such as wrapper approaches basically create combinatorial interfacing and/or combinatorial data conversion making the integration practically impossible because of interfacing explosion and/or computational explosion. A linear approach to overcome the combinatorial explosion is presented and discussed.
Well, he is either a cynic (knows the cost of everything and the value of nothing) or an enterprising researcher (pun intended) with a new look at system integration. He calls it the Cellular Data Model, and this paper is his original position paper. His personal website’s home page says it all in the title: “Welcome to unlimited worlds of knowledge.”
