FUSION.Architecture
An overview of FUSION architecture is presented in Figure 10.
As mentioned previously, the elementary component in a SOA approach is Web
services, since Web services provide a standard means of interoperating between
different software applications running on a variety of platforms and/or frameworks.
Web services are characterized by their interoperability and extensibility as well
as their machine-processable descriptions thanks to the use of XML, and they can
then be combined in a loosely coupled way in order to achieve complex operations.
