Abstract
A system and method for implementing a unified model for integration systems is presented. A user provides inputs to an integrated language engine for placing operator components and arc components onto a dataflow diagram. Operator components include data ports for expressing data flow, and also include meta-ports for expressing control flow. Arc components connect operator components together for data and control information to flow between the operator components. The dataflow diagram is a directed acyclic graph that expresses an application without including artificial boundaries during the application design process. Once the integrated language engine generates the dataflow diagram, the integrated language engine compiles the dataflow diagram to generated application code.
