information as well as rules and state- based
extraction, transformation, and loading system and
incrementally implementing the framework.
We believe that a closed-loop Business
Intelligence framework plays a major role in the area
of enterprise application integration in the near
future. Furthermore, we continuously investigate on
security issues of the new framework in real-world
applications.
