Abstract:
We describe a distributed system architecture that
supports the integration of different front-office trading systems
with middle and back-office systems, each of which have been procured
from different vendors. The architecture uses a judicious combination
of object-oriented middleware and markup languages. In this
combination an object request broker implements reliable trade data
transport. Markup languages, particularly XML, are used to address
data integration problems. We show that the strengths of middleware
and markup languages are complementary and discuss the benefits of
deploying middleware and markup languages in a synergistic manner.
