Abstract
Today electronic transactions constitute a constantly growing business reality that promises advantages such as reduced transactional cost, seamless information flow, and better communication and collaboration with business partners. However, the creation of a system clearly oriented towards promoting interoperability of existing systems and facilitating electronic transactions between partners of diverse nature, like enterprises and governmental bodies, still faces significant drawbacks such as the high technical complexity of the proposed solutions or the need for intervention of third-party systems in the transactions. Such problems can largely be attributed to the adopted architectures - primarily peer to peer and server based - that impose specific preconditions in the design and implementation of the systems. The present work is an attempt to define and justify a hybrid architecture that shares common elements with peer to peer and server based architectures and relies on emerging technologies and standards in order to achieve application to application interconnection and seamless information flow directly among heterogeneous systems. The approach implies the establishment of a server based environment that will provide all the necessary requirements for enterprise applications to interoperate, execute dynamic workflows and exchange business documents of different formats with applications and systems of other enterprises and governmental bodies.
